LOW WALL AND STRINGERS
Depending on the customer’s choice, a low wall may or may not be erected. To counter any water infiltration from the bricks above the window (brick is a porous material), an aluminium flashing is inserted under the waterproofing membrane found behind the brick. After this work, wood stringers are installed on the supporting wall to produce a right angle. |

SIDING
The exterior finish is installed at this stage. Consumers are offered several siding choices. The most common selections are fiberboard (Canexel) and aluminium siding. The wood stringers are also wrapped in aluminium to protect them against bad weather. The colour is matched with the solarium structure to form a blended and esthetic whole. |

SUNROOM WINDOW
Once construction is completed, the next phase is installation of the structure, insertion of fixed thermal windows and, according to the data, operable windows for good ventilation, an enhancement with or without tiles, for a contemporary touch, and finally, sealing by application of caulking. |

REMARKS
To enjoy the full benefits of a sunroom window, the glass must be selected according to each customer’s aspirations. It is especially important to ensure the services of construction professionals to produce the base, according to standard practices. Never accept installation of the sunroom window on the exterior cladding, even if this is cheaper and more elementary. The only guarantee on “quick and dirty” execution is that you may end up with frost on your window in winter. |
