Installation Instructions
Bay & Bow Windows
CAUTION: Paradigm Bay & Bow windows come pre-assembled and as such are extremely heavy and awkward to handle. Be sure to have proper assistance to lift the unit into place and also proper means to temporarily support the weight of the unit during installation.
Preparation of the Opening
Preparation of the Opening
- Frame new construction opening to ½” larger than the tip-to-tip dimension of the bay or bow window assembly. Opening must be plumb, level, and square as shown, and must be able to properly support the weight of the unit. Ensure that framing practices meet all applicable building codes.
- Prepare an existing opening in the same manner as above, checking for any damage to the opening as the old window is removed. Check framing for any signs of damage or decay and replace or repair as necessary.
