There is drain holes in the window ,no need to put them in the cill lol ..love ur work BTW, and I'm 90% done on my garden room thanks to ur videos ,I'm a window fabricator and fitter ,loved building the garden room
Another great video just a shame you don't work in the Midlands would use you and your crew without question top quality garden rooms keep up the good work
thanks for video. can I ask if internal blinds in aluminium doors have any long term effect on the performance of the gas in the glass, ditto for windows with internal blinds thanks again
Hi mate! Awesome video 🙌 I have one question, how do you choose Gasket Seal for aluminium thermal break double glazed windows if manufacturer did not include it?
@oakwoodgardenrooms hi Liam, are window and door extenders needed to enable the correct opening? I’ve double battened and will clad with 18mm cedar but won’t the reveal hit the hinge?
Great video, would there be any benefit to putting a DPM under the sill and up the back of it to act as a dam too? Rather than relying on the silicone?
Very detailed video, enjoyed watching this. On white frame I pencil in T,B, R, L on the glazing bars so I now which way they go back in. Masking tape is useful as well. I would put the top beading in first, that way the glass has some security until the others are fitted. Fitted a lot of aluminium windows last year in my own house, but they came ready glazed, so don't need to mess around with all the locking system. I've started to used the impact driver less now and just prefer using a drill driver which gives more control and over tightening.
Hi mate love your videos keep up good work, one of your viewers from Ireland. Would you be able to tell me where you get the thermnal broken window sill can't source them here in Ireland. Thanks Vincent 👍
Does anyone know how to remove the beads? I need to replace a window. Do you remove the gaskets and pry out from the gasket edge, or pry out from the bead edge? The beads would flex on UPVC window so can’t see how this would work on an aluminium window.
Use a sharp chisel and break the expose parts off then put your angle or flushing whatever you’re going to use to over the gap. Obviously make a notch for the packers and finished
Do upvc windows require the gasket or is that just for aluminium frames? I don’t recall having to put one in on my upvc door. About to move onto the windows.
Love the channel mate, and this is a great video/tutorial. You have framed the windows the same way I do, and I have a quick question (if you've got the time!). In the US it's common practice to put flexible flashing barriers (basically rubber sticky tape!) Around the window reveals and corners. I've almost never seen this done in the UK. Is it something you think is unnecessary or just that we haven't caught up yet?
How do you fit your door and window linings on the inside with the window packers sticking out internally ? I've never fitted windows or doors and this bit is puzzling me as you guys dont plaster upto the window so really would love to see how you go about that bit in a future video :) keep up the great work Oakwood team !
Hi George, From previous vids, fairly certain Liam said he uses a Makita DTD171 Impact Driver & Makita DHP481 Combi Drill :-) I also use both as well & the impact driver is really the mutts (it has 2 Tech Screw modes & 4 different impact level modes). I ordered my DTD171 from Tokyo, Japan on Ebay before they came out in the UK (for half the price they now cost in UK). Got mine in a "Brown" colour rather than Makita "Teal" that way I can easily identify mine out on site. Also bought a couple of thinner Makita 2 amp/hr batteries (BL1820B .... really difficult to get hold of), to make it even more compact & fitted a Makita 12v Impact Driver Belt Clip as original one stuck out below thinner battery ;-) Hope that helps :-)
@@geoffcapesfavouritebudgie7908 HI Geoff, Yep I just type something like "makita dt172 japan" (their latest Impact Driver) into a Google & seach ebay from there. I look for odd colour one's (so for instance previous Makita impact models I got have been Pink & Brown .... that way I know on site, that their mine 😂). Look for a reasonable priced one and mostly it's "free postage", & I don't mind waiting a few weeks for it to arrive. AvE ( I think based in Canada), did a comparison of a Japanese market .vs. Everywhere else same impact drivers & he concluded that the Japanese market ones were far superior in attention to detail (better solder joints, build quality, machined .vs. powder metal parts etc.). Also, currently you can get a "Yellow" Makita DT172 Impact Driver that looks at first glance, like a Dewalt 😉 Not too bothered who in Japan I order them from (my last two came from Tokyo), as I find the Japanese super reliable and trustworthy 😃 Hope that helps 😉
@@rockymount2393 Thank you, will take a nosey. Yellow one sounds interesting. I was wondering whether I might be able to get some 5ah batteries as they are mad expensive at the moment!
They look like really good stuff. I got a quote recently for some 5m bifolds for a customer and they came in nearly double to all the other quotes unfortunately.
I am a professional fenestration engineer. You should not fix through thermal break and depending on system those weep holes on front of window, drains the water away no need to drill cill.
Every google search recommends fixing through thermal break and if you don’t have weep holes where is the water that goes under the frame and into the thermal break going to go? Professional window fitter ?
@@thegardenroomguru mastic like you did, dam side and back and point front window to cill. Depends on system some have gasket at front. I get paid to fit aluminium window systems so yes i a professional.
@@waynegriffiths8151 a fenestration is an opening in a building so basically someone who fits doors, windows etc though I believe the term also refers to the people who make them.
The Ali drainage system is completely flawed, the drainage route is on the thermal break and completely bridges it causing condensation on back of Cill inside!

Thankyou, i recently installed an aluminium window following your video
Brilliant video - have just bought a couple of windows and had no idea how to fit them until I watched this. Really great explanation - thank you!
Fitted two aluminium windows today. Felt incredibly less daunting having watched this video a couple of times. Thanks so much for being so thorough
There is drain holes in the window ,no need to put them in the cill lol ..love ur work BTW, and I'm 90% done on my garden room thanks to ur videos ,I'm a window fabricator and fitter ,loved building the garden room
But there were no holes in the cill, where would the water drain to?
Really enjoyed the last couple of videos, really great level of detail. Thanks 🙏
Highlight of lockdown watching these videos
I agree, I have been looking forward to more updates!
Brilliant! Covers all the bits I had questions about, spose I got to go do it now 😅
Cheers D
Another great video Liam and co. Well done! 👍🏼 B 🏴
Do you need flashing tape on the timber before fixing the window cill?
Absolutely top quality Liam, perfect instruction, clear and precise, just what use Diyer's need, thank you.
Another top video William.
Looks familiar. Get a new laser and now can’t be arsed getting out the bubble 🤣. Another great video 👍👍
Thanks Liam for another great video, i always check my notifications to see if you have uploded.
Another great video just a shame you don't work in the Midlands would use you and your crew without question top quality garden rooms keep up the good work
Thanks again for great content. What happens to the packers.
Usually just cut off what can see and hide behind sealant
Great vid, best explanation i have heard for why and how to heel & toe. Thanks.
I use steel straps screwed to the backside of the frame, this means no screws in sight. Works great if there is finish plastering to be done.
I forgot to mention, straps avoid having to pack the cavity if the new window ends up straddling the gap.
Good video. What do you do with the window reveals? Surely it can’t be efficient to call the plasterer back just for some reveals?
Top job and well informed as usual great as need to build my shed soon ! John from Chichester !
thanks for video. can I ask if internal blinds in aluminium doors have any long term effect on the performance of the gas
in the glass, ditto for windows with internal blinds thanks again
Great video. I need to remove a failed double glazed window from an aluminium frame. Is the removal method the reverse of the one shown in this video?
Yes, it is
@@thegardenroomguru 👍
Brilliant explanation as always.
Keep up the good work
Brilliant video and great job 10/10
Top video as always Liam, well explained
Good job and clear instructions. Thanks
Hi mate! Awesome video 🙌 I have one question, how do you choose Gasket Seal for aluminium thermal break double glazed windows if manufacturer did not include it?
Horns boss, that’s what call them🙌
Hey men
What we do here in Ethiopia is a bit different from u cause the section type of aluminium frames are different. But I admire your effort.
Great stuff another very informative video! Keep up the good work.
Really appreciate it
@oakwoodgardenrooms hi Liam, are window and door extenders needed to enable the correct opening? I’ve double battened and will clad with 18mm cedar but won’t the reveal hit the hinge?
Another cracking video, thanks.
Great video, would there be any benefit to putting a DPM under the sill and up the back of it to act as a dam too? Rather than relying on the silicone?
I was wondering that too
Crackin content pal,great explanation as per,bring on the next one👍
So useful! Very informative, loving your work

Who makes the windows?
Top job 👍
So much info! Brilliant work
Hi mate love your videos keep up good work, one of your viewers from Ireland. Would you be able to tell me where you get the thermnal broken window sill can't source them here in Ireland. Thanks Vincent 👍
Nice video, thanks for showing how to install Windows.
Video needs a little bit more focused.
Overall great video 👍👍
Super helpful. Thank you. 💪🏻💪🏻
Where do you get you windows from please 😊
Hi, can you tell me how to adjust the window please
My aluminium windows doesn’t close properly have gap on the corner opposite of handle side
Thanks
The timber frame membrane hasn't been sealed off around the sill,, jams or head, before the window is installed!!
Does anyone know how to remove the beads? I need to replace a window. Do you remove the gaskets and pry out from the gasket edge, or pry out from the bead edge? The beads would flex on UPVC window so can’t see how this would work on an aluminium window.

How do you then deal with packers each side of the window?
Thx

There already in the plastic trims mate
@@thegardenroomguru thanks Liam. Makes sense - I must be a bit unobservant!

Nice job again buddy. Nightmare when your fingers freeze 😡👍
One thing about the foam wear a decent mask when indoors the vapour from the can is really bad for you, great video by the way 😎
Window fitters won't be happy, Great tutorial, No 🐂💨💩 video Fitting Instructions 👍
Top stuff 👍👍
“Helps lube it and slide it in” said the Actress to the Bishop!
What brand are these sills?
Hi Liam, just curious but what are your favourite and least favourite parts of a build mate? Videos are better than TV !
Putting the walls up mate, it’s fast paced and you can see results very quickly
Insulation is the worst 👍🏼
@@thegardenroomguru Cheers, keep the videos coming.
Liam what brand of work trousers are you wearing with the side pockets.
Mascot
As you know I’ve no sponsorship at all, so this comment is totally unbiased, YOU WILL NOT WEAR BETTER💪🏻
@@thegardenroomguru where do they sell them mate.
Oh and they all have individual names, which ones are they, cheers
why do you drill holes in the sill, when it looks the window frame already has drain-holes ?
window has them mate but some times not the cill, so you need to drain the cill
What type of internal window reveals do you use?
Can't see any detail , not sure if it's focus or exposure. While doing the sill
I fit rational window and doors, they are aluminium on the outside and wood in the inside
Sound nice
Most uPVC manufacturers do a smooth anthracite foil now mate, years of window bashing, I hate aluminium now 😂
Nice job like always
Useful info lad, cheers
Can you tell me where you get your windows and doors from ? thanks love the vids
@bugga lugs I’m sure he mentions Express Bifolds in Leeds
@@joewalton2326 Thanks Joe i did manage to get hold of the company all good :)
Need to dam the therobrake or all the water getting inside the cill will penetrate the inside timber
How do you clean the protruding foam once it's dry? I mean without scratching the aluminium.
Just pick it off with your fingers so it’s roughly flush mate
where do you get windows from, I have been searching and can't find the right ones
All ours come from express bifolds mate
that foam gun looks great...
It’s a world apart from the one use can
How do you fit your door and window linings on the inside with the window packers sticking out internally ?

I was thinking the same
@@onefortheroad1 with like a multi tool ?
Yes mate, or if the reveal is not plum we use the packers to keep the mdf reveal plumb with the window
Where’s the tray? Lead or other probably missed the most important bit .
Great attention to detail agin. What makita combi and driver are you using William. Am needing new tools lol
Hi George, From previous vids, fairly certain Liam said he uses a Makita DTD171 Impact Driver & Makita DHP481 Combi Drill :-) I also use both as well & the impact driver is really the mutts (it has 2 Tech Screw modes & 4 different impact level modes).

They look like really good stuff. I got a quote recently for some 5m bifolds for a customer and they came in nearly double to all the other quotes unfortunately.
Put the top bead in first the glass will not fall out
Any reason why you don’t fix the seal to the frame from first? Through bottom of the seal up into the frame? Makes job a lot easier
dont have take handle off just stick packers in n feed it in simple
👍👍👍
thanks a lot boss
Awesome
very nice

Plastic hammer is good

And fixing through a point where water sits ? Come on!!
Then foam guns are terrible I’ve had 4 of them
What happens to the packers sticking out? They get cut back? Thanks DIY dummy ha
