Storm Door, Storm Sash, Screens or Weather-Stripping Installation – All Operations to Completion

Description

Code 5428 applies to employers engaged in installing of storm doors, storm sash, screens or weather-stripping.  These operations are performed using hand tools and require measurements to be taken.  Most work pertaining to this classification is interior work.

Storm windows are combination windows and screens, which are designed to be installed over double-hung windows.  They are permanently installed and easily opened with a screen slid into place for ventilation.  New aluminum tracks and frames are nailed to the inner wood frame.  Windows are inserted into a track on the window frame.  New molding may be installed around the inside of the door and windows.  Outside frames will be caulked to prevent water leakage. 
 
Metal frame combination screen and storm windows are installed by setting a metal guide frame in the window frame, which is secured in place with several screws and installed from inside the building.  Normally, these types of windows have interchangeable panels.  Panels of glass or screening are then slid into the guides in the frame. 

Weather-stripping is normally installed around windows and doors.  There are various types and thickness of weather-stripping material, some of which are made of foam, felt, vinyl, metal or a combination of these materials.  Most weather-stripping materials are self-adhesive and other types require nailing or tacking into place.  Normally, weather-stripping is attached to the window frame.  However, some weather-stripping material is attached to the window or door sash.  Double-hung and sliding doors have the weather-stripping attached to where the movable and fixed portions meet.
