Window and door installation is one of the most critical applications affecting the overall performance of the building envelope. Proper installation contributes not only to mechanical stability but also to long-term airtightness, watertightness, thermal insulation, and acoustic insulation.
Modern installation practices no longer consider mechanical fastening alone to be sufficient for securing window and door frames. Installation gaps must be properly filled with suitable materials, effective interior and exterior sealing layers must be created, and flexible joints capable of accommodating structural movement must be incorporated.
Window and door installation is commonly carried out for the following building elements:
PVC window and door systems
Timber window and door systems
Aluminum window and door systems
Steel doors
Interior doors
Fire-rated doors
Sliding systems
Facade glazing systems.
The key factors determining installation quality include proper preparation of the installation gap, the selection of appropriate fixing methods, correct application of polyurethane foam, and the complete installation of both interior and exterior sealing layers.
Technologies Used
Silicone Technology
Silicone-Based products are preferred for exterior joints requiring excellent UV resistance and long-term weatherability.
They are widely used around window perimeters and in façade glazing applications.
Polyurethane Installation Foams
Polyurethane installation foams are the most widely used solution for filling installation gaps.
They are used to provide gap filling, thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, and initial mechanical stability.
Gun-grade foam systems offer greater application control and are particularly suited to professional installation work.
Hybrid Polymer Technology
Hybrid polymer systems are used to seal movement joints created after installation.
Their high elasticity enables them to accommodate structural movement while maintaining long-term sealing performance.
In addition, they provide excellent adhesion to a wide variety of construction materials, including concrete, PVC, aluminum, wood, and natural stone.
