If the installation requires anchor straps, attach the straps to the window frame at the locations specified by the window manufacturer before the window is placed into the opening. Shim the window on all sides in the opening, making sure it is level and plumb. On installations using anchor straps, the anchor straps should protrude towards the interior. © The Steel Window Institute (2006) Contents are the property of the Steel Window Institute, its members or others who have licensed the information.
