Double-glazed windows are being installed. A presentation was made to a group in which the technology of the window was demonstrated. More on the fabrication of the windows will be added shortly. The following photographs show the 'ProtectoWrap' applied to the window openings prior to the installation of the window frames. Once the window frames have been installed, the opening sashes are fitted. Note that these sashes opening inwards - not common for New Zealand (historically). Airtightness around the window frames is managed with the application of an expandable foam between the window frame and the opening, and is air-seal taped connecting the exterior 'Ecoply Barrier' to the window frame.

The windows have been protected by 'TPS' spray application to the exterior surface of the glass; and cardboard guards fitted to the interior exposed reveals of the timber window joinery. Both are removed later in the project duration
  This picture shows the head and jamb of the installed window frame - the house interior is to the right. The picture below is of the jamb and sill.  |
