SIDEWALL INSTALLATION USING TRANSOMS

Note: There are two types of headers one for electrical and a Top Channel for non electrical. Check layout sheet for material supplied.

 

The Sidewall Modules will have solid material above the windows. The Solid material will give you the ability allow for the slope in the roof line. Remember that if you have a foundation that slopes, you must cut the slope on the kickplates before you cut the slope for the roof. As in all the room layouts, the modules are numbered starting from the left sidewall as you face the front of the room from the outside. Check your layout sheet for any solid material that may be in the front comer of the sidewall prior to the first module.

Measure the first modules width mark that dimension on Sidewall Header and Bottom Track. Diagram 8.5 At these marks measure between the Bottom Track and the inside of the Header Beam. Diagram 8.4 deduct 1/2" from this dimension to arrive at the size to mark on the module left side mullion now measure the same way at the frontwall and mark the right side mullion using a straight edge scribe a line from mark to mark this gives you the cut line for cutting module.

To slide the module into position, you may have to start the module closer to the house wall to slide it into place because of the narrowing of the opening. Repeat this process until your last module, (the module closest to the house wall).

When all solid & or Modules have been installed, start from the front wall & level and plumb each until you reach the house. Secure the modules to the Bottom Track & Header Beam on the inside & outside with 4 8 x 3/4" Tek Screws or Pop Rivets at the junction of the male & female mullions. Any gap that may occur between the last module & the house wall may be trimmed out with solid fill or an H - section split down the middle. (The junction of the Front Wall and Side Wall will be trimmed & secured with an inside & outside angle finishing the corner. The Side Wall must be sealed at the junction of the Bottom Track to the Kickplates & the window header to the Solid Transom. Seal the Side Wall to the house wall.)
