This is the #1 failure point in most window and door installations.

Friday BAD INSTALLS - This is the #1 failure point in most window and door installations. If you see a sliding glass door (or any window or door) being installed without a solid poured sill you better stop them right there and get an expert. This is not only guaranteed to leak but the door isn't going to roll and function well.

Planning and attention to detail, budget for doing it right. A cheaper installation bid may save you thousands of dollars on sill pouring and proper waterproofing but you are going to spend more fixing problems, not to mention the stress and drag of dealing with it and an unhappy homeowner. And don't forget the lawsuits...

I help architects, builders, and owners select, specify, and detail luxury residential hurricane glazing systems without manufacturer or dealer biases.
From just one hour to as many hours as you need a glazing expert for your project.

I also give classes in all aspects of hurricane windows and doors on glass aesthetics and energy performance, manufacturer product overviews, detailed installation planning and best practices, and understanding hurricane product approvals.
