Hello everybody,
I have bought a hardwood back door which is intended to have six double-glazed units, and I have also found a supplier for the units. The door is primed and painted, ready to fit them.
My question concerns exactly how the units are fitted, and what clearance should I allow.
I assume that the units are best fitted by embedding them in mastic or clear silicone sealant, and then securing them in place with the loose beading supplied. Is this correct? and how much undersize should I order? I am wary of silicone as it could make repainting difficult.
Many thanks, Alec.
