Window & Door Installation introduces principles of design, construction, and installation of window and door components. Improper installation of windows and doors is one of the leading sources of building performance failures that lead to construction defect litigation.

We will begin by explaining the basics of modern window & door installation techniques, and how variation from these fundamental principles can lead to problems and defects. We will discuss different types of windows, factors that can complicate their installation, the basics of how materials react together, and the damage that these reactions can cause. We will review the most applicable codes and standards related to window installation, performance, testing and evaluation.

This program is important for architects, general contractors, trade contractors and building industry professionals because many factors and players must come together to properly execute durable window and door installations.
