Installation - Aluminium frames
Timber reveals are fitted to aluminium frames. The width of the reveal suits brick veneer or cladding. No additional flashings need to be fitted to aluminium window frames. The opening is packed ready for the window frame, then the frame is fixed in place. Fixing through the reveals into the studs is the usual fixing method.
Surfaces must be protected from mortar splashes. Some aluminium window manufacturers supply their windows with protective tape fitted.
