How Aluminum Window Installation Works — Step-by-Step Process
Professional glass and aluminum installation is a precise, multi-stage engineering process. See exactly how we build and install our systems.
Why Most Installations Fail
Many homeowners believe that installing a window simply involves pushing an aluminum frame into a hole in the wall and screwing it in. This is exactly why so many Philippine homes suffer from massive water leaks during typhoons.
Site Measurement Audits
A concrete opening is almost never perfectly square. Before cutting aluminum, our engineers visit the site using digital laser levels to measure the exact dimensions and calculate clearances required for a perfectly level fit.
Controlled Fabrication
We do not fabricate frames on your living room floor. All cutting and assembly happens at our workshop using industrial miter saws. This guarantees clean cuts and minimizes disruption at your property.
Structural Anchoring
The empty frames are brought to the site first. We pack the gap between the frame and concrete with a backer rod, then seal it completely using premium Structural Silicone, creating a flexible, waterproof gasket.
Hardware Integration
With the frame secured, the glass sashes are lifted into the tracks. We install heavy-duty rollers, adjust the heights, and engage the multi-point locking mechanisms to ensure tight weather-stripping compression.
The Blueprint
5 Steps From Measurement to Handover
How our precision process eliminates every common installation failure point.
Step 1: Laser Site Audit
We use a laser level and digital distance meter, not a tape measure. Every opening is measured to the millimeter in three axes. Diagonal is checked for square. No assumptions.
Step 2: CNC Fabrication
All aluminum profiles are cut to exact length in our controlled facility. Mitered corners are welded. Glass panels are cut and tempered to spec. Every piece arrives ready to install.
Step 3: Frame Setting
The frame is set with a laser level and anchored to the structural substrate using chemical anchors into concrete. No wooden packers. No shimming with bits of tile.
Step 4: Structural Sealing
All perimeter joints are sealed with structural silicone applied in a continuous bead with no air pockets. This is tooled smooth and left to cure for 24 hours.
Step 5: Waterproof Test
We hose down every installation from outside and check for any water ingress from inside. Every operable window is checked for smooth operation before handover.
Workmanship Warranty
Every installation comes with a written 1-year workmanship warranty covering any defects in our installation labor. Material warranties are governed by manufacturer specs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about aluminum window and door installation in the Philippines.
How long does a typical window or door installation take?
A standard replacement of 1 to 4 windows or 1 to 2 doors typically takes 1 full day. Larger projects like a full house renovation are scheduled across multiple days.
Do you need to remove the old window frame?
In most replacement jobs, yes. We remove the existing frame to expose the structural opening, clean up the reveal, and install the new frame properly into concrete.
What happens if installation is done incorrectly?
Common consequences are: (1) water leaks during rain; (2) frames that are not level causing windows to self-open; (3) glass breakage due to twisted frames; (4) fastener failure from poor anchoring.
Can you install aluminum windows in a high-rise condo?
Yes. For upper floors, we coordinate with building administration for scaffolding or swing stage permits, working hours, and material delivery schedules. Our team uses full safety harness protocols.
