All joinery shall be installed correctly in accordance with
normal trade practices and adequately maintained in
service. In case of replacement windows, reveals must be
sterilised before new joinery is fixed.

All undecorated joinery supplied in the white must be
suitably primed or stained without delay after receipt,
all joinery supplied primed must receive further coats
(undercoat and top coat) of paint within three months
of purchase, and one month if basecoat stained. If
primed and in particular basecoat stain finishes have
deteriorated because of prolonged exposure, the surface
must be properly prepared, and re-primed before
finishing and a knotting solution should be applied
over any visible knots. Take care not to paint over any
form of weatherstrip as this will adversely affect the
performance. Any surfaces subsequently cut, particularly
those exposing end grains, must be brush coated with
preservative and if required for paint finish must also
be primed before the joinery is fixed in position in
accordance with British and European Standards.

Standard insulating glass units must not be used in areas
of high humidity, e.g. swimming pools or similar. They
should also not be used within 300mm from a door or
within 800mm of the floor, for these areas the glass
must be toughened. Contact JELD-WEN if in doubt for
your particular installation.

The decorative finish applied to external joinery and
cladding, must be maintained in service and moisture
must not be allowed to penetrate into the timber
throughout its life.

Regular maintenance of the paint or stain finish of the
frame is essential for the long-term performance of all
the components of your timber windows. The period
between maintenance checks will vary depending on the
type of paint or stain finish and also the local conditions
for the site.

External joinery must be cleaned at a maximum of six
monthly intervals using a mild non-abrasive cleaner
and soft cloth. Both internal and exterior faces should
be cleaned. Make regular checks to ensure that any
drainage holes, channels and spaces are kept clear. Use
a soft flexible brush or pipe cleaner with care to remove
obstructions. Finished joinery is guaranteed against
blistering, cracking, flaking or erosion excluding natural
resin exudation and movement around knots.
