Installation Instructions for Products January 2012

ACCENT Windows:

) Create the Proper R.O. (Rough Opening) for the ACCENT Window(s) per AWSCO stated sizing - the R.O. is the

same shape as Exterior of Window – just undersized - R.O. may need to include Diagonal Cripple Studs for

jamb/frame (Round, Half-Round, Octagon, Quadrafoil, Oxbow, Cathedral, Springline, Oval & Quarter-Round)

) Install ACCENT Window into R.O. & fasten through the exterior integrated Nailing Fins by use of Galvanized

of Flat Head nails or screws (4-8) – first apply a silicone sealant bead between the exterior Cap& the sheathing.

Apply final silicone bead between the finished siding or brick where it meet the BM or Csg.

Interior Extension Jambs (XJ) to extend from 4 9/16 to 5 ¼ or 6 9/16:

) XJ’s are supplied as 2-Pieces – don’t be concerned if the sizing of the XJ looks to be under or over sized

–once installed by attaching one side and then attaching along the circumference; it will move to the proper size

& shape as intended

) fasten one side temporarily to the primary jamb/frame of the accent window by using a 2 ½”

finish nail and then one finish nail on the other side – to just tack the XJ - leaving most of the nail out – the

XJ should be flush with the inside edge of the primary jamb/frame – this process will allow the use of a level at

the 180 degree line for the cutoff point of the 1st half, mark the half-point 180 degree cut line, remove & cut to size with a

chopsaw & then fully install with more finish nails & set the nails – repeat the same for the other half & glue between the

miter-joints – then sand to smooth out joint transition prior to staining or priming & painting

Interior Trim:

) Interior Trim is supplied as 2-Pieces for Oval (assembled for Full-Round, Octagon & Quadrafoil)

Interior Trim is sized to be approx. ¼” to 5/16” greater for inside dimension than the inside dimension of the jamb/frame

Rotate the Trim to place the sectional Miters in the desired position & where there is an equal reveal between the inside area of

the jamb/frame & the inside dimension of the Trim (approx. 1/8” to 3/16” reveal edge) & then tack in position with 1” Finish

Nails on the lower trim profile area to attached to the jamb/frame & then use 1 ½” Finish Nails to fasten the back side of the

Trim through the drywall & into the studs

) for Oval - fasten one side temporarily to the primary jamb/frame of the accent window by using a

1” finish nail and then one finish nail on the other side – to just temporarily tack the Trim to determine the Cut Line - leaving

most of the nail out – the Trim should be showing approx. 1/8” reveal of the primary jamb/frame – spread the half-section

Trim in or out to acquire approx. 1/8” to 3/16” reveal edge – once tacked in position, this process will allow the use of a level

at the 180 degree line for the cutoff point of one of the half sections - remove & cut to size by a chopsaw & then install

with more finish nails – repeat the same for the other half & glue between the miter-joints & sand to smooth out joint

transition prior to staining or priming & painting – once fully installed – set & fill nail holes & then complete staining or priming

& painting

) for Round, Octagon & Quadrafoil – install the fully assembled Trim directly on the jamb/frame of the window by

Rotating the Trim to place the sectional Miters in the desired position & where there is an equal reveal between the inside area

Of the jamb/frame & the inside dimension of the Trim (approx. 1/8” to 3/16” reveal edge) & then tack in position with 1” Finish

Nails on the lower trim profile area to attached to the jamb/frame & then use 1 ½” Finish Nails to fasten the back side of the

Trim through the drywall & into the studs – once fully installed – set & fill nail holes & then complete staining or priming
