 The Glass Works carried out in strict accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations and in
the sequence specified by the manufacturer. All work will also be carried out in strict accordance
with manufacturers’ recommendations.

 Before starting work ensure that the correct window sizes have been supplied, together with the
necessary fixtures and fittings.

 Where applicable the existing windows should first be removed by

removing the hinges from the window frame. The existing widow frame can
then be removed from the wall; this will be done by cutting through the
frame and levering the frame work from the wall with a wrecking bar.

 The old windows and frames will be removed from site and deliver the client.
 All work will generally be carried out from the inside of the property, however, where work is being
carried out on floors other than the ground floor, or where work is carried out on the ground floor
and level of the ground outside of the window is more than 1.5m below the sill height AND where
the internal sill height is less than 910mm above the internal floor level, then additional measures
must be implemented to safeguard against falls through the open window aperture. In such
instances where the sill height is below 910mm either a temporary hand rail at 950mm will be
erected; or those carrying out the works, will wear a full body harness with a lanyard attached to a
suitable anchor point.

 Prior to the fitting of the new glass window, the walls must be checked to ensure that they are
sound and that any old fixings have been removed and disposed of. Where sections of the wall have
been damaged or are not suitable, the area should be made good or alternative fixings used.

 Clean the area and prepare the recess for the installation of the new windows. Fit the new glass
window into position, ensuring a tight fit and ensuring that the frame is plumb and square.

 Once the windows and frames have been checked, the glazing units can be inserted. Each unit
should be installed and secured into position with the appropriate beading/seals. The glazed
panels can then be carefully lifted into position, grip gloves will be worn at all times when lifting
glazed units and for large panels a minimum of 2 persons should be used to lift and secure the
panels in place. The use of suction lifters should also be used to provide a safe and secure grip
when lifting large and heavy glass panels/units.

 The windows will then be tested to ensure that they open and close smoothly without rubbing or
catching, if necessary the hinges should be adjusted to ensure a suitable fit.

 The window frame should then be trimmed and sealed both internally and externally and the area
made good.
 Upon completion of the works, CAMLOCK will remove all rubbish, scrap and waste materials/packaging
from the premises and dispose of appropriately. Thoroughly vacuum and clean through the area and
all transit routes leaving the property in a clean and tidy state.

 Care will be taken to ensure that the glass is not broken and that when handling glass and windows,
