3/4" LVL Reinforced Joining Guide (1-Way Vertical Joining)

Windows and doors can be heavy. Use safe lifting techniques and a reasonable number of people with enough strength to lift, carry and install window and door products to avoid injury and/or product damage.

Use caution when working at elevated heights and around unit openings. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for safe use of ladder and/or scaffolding. Failure to do so may result in injury or death.

Follow manufacturer’s instructions for safe operation of hand/power tools. Always wear safety glasses. Failure to do so may result in injury and/or product damage.

Impact Resistant Glass used by Andersen is not hurricane proof or shatter proof, and may not offer a high level of security. Proper installation of window and door units with impact resistant glass is as important to product performance as the glass. Every assembly and installation is different (windloads, structural support, etc.), and Andersen strongly recommends consultation with an Andersen supplier or an experienced contractor, architect, or structural engineer prior to the assembly and installation of any Andersen product. Andersen has no responsibility in regard to the post-manufactured assembly and installation of Andersen products.

Congratulations! You have just purchased one of the many fine Andersen® products. Proper assembly, installation and maintenance are essential if the benefits of your Andersen product are to be fully attained. Therefore, please read and follow this Instruction Guide completely. If your abilities do not match this procedure’s requirements, contact an experienced contractor. You may direct any questions about this or other products to your local Andersen dealer, found in the Yellow Pages under “Windows” or call Andersen WindowCare® service center at 1-888-888-7020 Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central Time and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Central Time. Thank you for choosing Andersen.

• Andersen® Installation Flanges DO NOT take the place of standard window and door flashing. Unit must be properly flashed and sealed with sealant, and full width drip cap for protection against water and air infiltration. Use non-reflective flashings. Highly reflective flashing tapes can raise the surface temperature of the vinyl to the point where vinyl deformation and product damage may occur.

• Donotapplyanytypeoffilmtoglass.Thermalstressconditionsresultinginglassdamagecouldoccur.

• Useofmovableinsulatingmaterialssuchaswindowcoverings,shutters,andothershadingdevicesmaydamageglass and/or vinyl. In addition, excessive condensation may result causing deterioration of windows and doors.

Unless specifically ordered, Andersen windows and doors are not equipped with safety glass, and if broken, could fragment causing injury. Many laws and building codes require safety glass in locations adjacent to or near doors. Andersen windows are available with safety glass that may reduce the likelihood of injury when broken. Information on safety glass is available from your local Andersen dealer.

Proper flashing under and around window and door openings can reduce moisture problems, but the performance of any building system depends upon the design and construction of the building system in its entirety, which should address local environment, climate, building codes and product and material limitations. The design and installation of flashing and sealing systems are the responsibility of the architect, contractor, installer, and/or the manufacturer of the building exterior specified for the project.

3/4" LVL Reinforced Joining Guide (1-Way Horizontal Joining)


Impact Resistant Glass used by Andersen is not hurricane proof or shatter proof, and may not offer a high level of security. Proper installation of window and door units with impact resistant glass is as important to product performance as the glass. Every assembly and installation is different (windloads, structural support, etc.), and Andersen strongly recommends consultation with an Andersen supplier or an experienced contractor, architect, or structural engineer prior to the assembly and installation of any Andersen product. Andersen has no responsibility in regard to the post-manufactured assembly and installation of Andersen products.

Congratulations! You have just purchased one of the many fine Andersen® products. Proper assembly, installation and maintenance are essential if the benefits of your Andersen product are to be fully attained. Therefore, please read and follow this Instruction Guide completely. If your abilities do not match this procedure’s requirements, contact an experienced contractor. You may direct any questions about this or other products to your local Andersen dealer, found in the Yellow Pages under “Windows” or call Andersen WindowCare® service center at 1-888-888-7020 Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Central Time and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Central Time. Thank you for choosing Andersen.

• Andersen® Head Flashing and Installation Flanges DO NOT take the place of standard window and door flashing. Unit must be properly flashed and sealed with silicone for protection against water and air infiltration. Use non-reflective flashings. Highly reflective flashing tapes can raise the surface temperature of the vinyl to the point where vinyl deformation and product damage may occur.

• Donotapplyanytypeoffilmtoglass.Thermalstressconditionsresultinginglassdamagecouldoccur.

• Useofmovableinsulatingmaterialssuchaswindowcoverings,shutters,andothershadingdevicesmaydamageglass and/or vinyl. In addition, excessive condensation may result causing deterioration of windows and doors.

Unless specifically ordered, Andersen windows and doors are not equipped with safety glass, and if broken, could fragment causing injury. Many laws and building codes require safety glass in locations adjacent to or near doors. Andersen windows are available with safety glass that may reduce the likelihood of injury when broken. Information on safety glass is available from your local Andersen dealer.

Use caution when working at elevated heights and around unit openings. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for safe use of ladder and/or scaffolding. Failure to do so may result in injury or death.

Follow manufacturer’s instructions for safe operation of hand/power tools. Always wear safety glasses. Failure to do so may result in injury and/or product damage.

overlapping flashing tape at sides.

• Thisinstructionstepdepictsoneofmanyoptionsfor proper flashing.

• Moistureinfiltrationproblemsinanytypeofbuilding can be reduced by properly flashing and/or sealing around all building openings, including windows and doors. Proper flashing under and around window and door openings can reduce moisture problems, but the performance of any building system depends upon the design and construction of the building system in its entirety, which should address local environment, climate, building codes and product and material limitations. The design and installation of flashing and sealing systems are the responsibility of the architect, contractor, installer, and/or the manufacturer of the building exterior specified for the project.

Unit must be properly flashed and sealed for protection against water and air infiltration. Use non-reflective flashings. Highly reflective flashing tapes can raise the surface temperature of the vinyl to the point where vinyl deformation and product damage may occur.
