Installation manual
– English
Continue the installation of the walls by strongly forcing the wall logs into one another. If necessary,
use the hitting block and hammer. At the same time, do not forget to begin the installation of the door
and windows. You should definitely begin the door installation after the 5
th
-6
th
layer of logs.
Door and window
Doorframe:
➢
If it is a double door, the
doorframe is supplied in
separate parts due to
transportation requirements and
you will have to begin by
assembling it.
➢
To do this, place together the 4
parts of the frame and screw
them onto one another.
➢
Make sure that the part of the
frame with the deeper notch is
installed upwards. The lateral
jamb parts have hinges and are
mirrored.
➢
It is recommended to install the
leaves later.
➢
If it is a single door, its frame and
leaf are supplied already
assembled.
Doorframe installation (Only necessary for a double door!):
Door installation:
The doorframe is placed at the
formed aperture and pushed with
force onto the lower log. If it is a
double door, place the leaves on the
hinges now. To open and close the
door, fit the separately packaged lock
and handle.
Window installation:
Continue with the installation of the wall logs until you reach the window height. The wall plans (see
Technical specifications) show how many logs go under the window. Install the window similarly with
the door. Just like the door, push the window frame with the window into the window aperture onto the
lower log, applying force. Make sure that the window is not fitted backwards (topsy-turvy).
ADVICE : Definitely make sure that the windows and doors open in the proper direction. The doors
always open from the inside to the outside . The tilt&turn windows open to the inside . The revolving
and the slinging windows open to the outside (the window handles are on the inside).
ATTENTION : It is not necessary to fix the doors and windows to the wall logs! If you wish to do this, it
will be sufficient to fix them with a couple of screws in the lower part of the frame because as they dry,
the wall logs will begin subsiding.
You can conduct the final adjustments of the doors and windows only some 2-3 weeks after the house
installation, when the house will have become adapted to weather conditions and its logs settled.
