At Cornerstone Building Brands we’re committed to delivering top-tier products and ensuring our customers have the tools and knowledge they need for successful installations. With our recent technological upgrades and quality initiatives for the Ply Gem brand, we’ve made it easier for builders and installers to achieve flawless results. Here’s how you can leverage these advancements to optimize your next project.
One of the most critical aspects of window installation is adhering strictly to the manufacturer’s guidelines. With our advanced automation and software for enhanced efficiency, you can count on consistent product quality and fewer rework delays.
Example: Sealant behind the nailing fin should typically be applied unless specific conditions apply.
By following these guidelines, you help ensure that your installations meet the high standards we’ve set with our latest innovations.
Windows are vulnerable to damage during the construction phase, which is why it’s essential to handle them with care. Cornerstone Building Brands’s investments in sensor-driven maintenance detection and advanced automation mean fewer unexpected issues, but proper handling is still key.
By taking these precautions, you can protect your investment and avoid damage not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
The conditions under which windows are installed can greatly impact their performance. Our quality upgrades, including improved manufacturing processes, help ensure that Ply Gem products perform consistently under various conditions.
By optimizing installation conditions, you reduce the risk of installation-related issues and ensure long-term performance.
Proper storage is just as important as proper installation. With our expanded trucking fleet and enhanced logistics, Cornerstone Building Brands ensures that windows arrive on-site in top condition, but it’s up to you to store them correctly.
Example: Do not stack more than six units against one another to prevent stress cracks or other damage. Stacked windows should be of similar size and shape.
Handling large windows requires care and the right number of personnel. Our quality initiatives, including advanced manufacturing standards, help minimize the risk of defects, but proper handling on-site is essential.
With these best practices, you can ensure that your installations are successful and that the windows you install perform to the highest standards.
Cornerstone Building Brands is dedicated to supporting builders and installers with top-quality Ply Gem products and the latest innovations in manufacturing and logistics. By following these tips and leveraging our advanced technology, you can achieve flawless installations and deliver exceptional results on every project.
