Garden Building
Installation Guide
Product Code : TGBv6.1 / November 2011
Having already inspected the base for
LEVEL AND DIMENSIONAL ACCURACY
(against base plan), lay out the 150mm sill
pieces (P106) as per the conservatory plan.
Using Sealants
Wherever PVC-U is joined to PVC-U, ensure
that all jointing faces are silicone sealed
using a
low-modulus, neutral cure
silicone
sealant.
The
following
sealants
are
recommended:
Low-modulus silicone (brown)
: for sealing
woodgrain finish PVC-U conservatories
Low-modulus silicone (white)
: for sealing
white PVC-U to PVC-U.
Acrylic
: for internal use where paint is to be
used.
All recommended sealants remain soft for
15-20
minutes
(sufficient
time
for
repositioning if necessary). If excess sealant
is not removed immediately, wait until the
sealant is fully cured (about 24 hours) before
peeling the excess away cleanly.
When using sealant as a filler bead, mask
both sides of the bead area with masking
tape. Run a bead of sealant along the bead
area, exerting an even pressure on the
sealing gun.
Always
refer
to
the
manufacturers’
instructions for removing excess sealant.
Fitting the Sill
Please note the following section
describes the installation of the Square
Garden Building model, however the
process of installation is the same for the
Octagonal Garden Building model
Referring to your base plan diagram lay all
150mm sill pieces (P106) onto the base.
Approximate positioning is adequate at this
stage.
Ensure that every run of 150mm sill (P106)
has two 70mm sections on one end of the
sill milled out as shown in the image below
This will allow the windows to be positioned
onto the sill and then along the groove of the
150mm sill (P106) throughout installation.
Sill Connectors
Progressively join the 150mm sill sections
(P106) together with the external 90° sill
connector (C108).
