A new frame is to be installed into clean prepared space and fixed with the help of anchor bolts or mounting plates.  The most important on this stage is to control the frame to be placed strictly horizontally and vertically to ensure its correct function.  Normally, window sill replacement (outdoor and indoor) is done at this stage as well.  If you would like to save your sill we will restore it for you.  The new sill is being fixed with the help of mounting foam.  We also use it to fill all the empties between the frame and its space to protect the room from heat waste.  The foam is to be protected additionally not to permit the moisture and sunshine to ruin it.  Outside foam should be covered as soon as possible, since it is affected at first hand.  Once the frame is safely fixed, it is time to work with slopes, which have decorative and functional needs – serve as additional heat insulation and sound isolation.
