What about water proofing? Plaster is only going to wick water to the inside so you need to have a break from outside to inside. I have always instructed builders to build dpc in the center of the cavity (or between the 2 brick leafs if no cavity) all the way around like they did in the good old days for timber windows. This dpc then is seated in the channel of the aluminium outer frame to create a break. I have not met a true artisan in a long time here in South Africa. It should be mandatory for any project over a certain value and duration to have an appreticeship program. Or at the very least, detailed instructional booklets to be issued to home owners and builders at the time of plan approval. Building inspectors should then ensure implementation. I see too many home owners using unskilled labour for tasks that should be done by skilled artisans and the building inspectors turning a blind eye.
This video does not show the top lugs being drilled in and the window in placed in the cavity, in fact when he taps the top of the window it is not secure. Secondly it does show how the window is plastered as a final product. A poor installation in my opinion.
Great plasterwork
I must commend you on this tutorial. It's very informative. God bless

This sounds informative. Please explain it in layman terms. I'm gonna have Windows installed and need then to be done properly and not have any issues
Please make an installation video on how to install kenso windows and doors into a timber frame house.
Love this thank you. One question, where does your damp-proofing sit?
Thank you. 🙏

Is it possible to replace a damaged glass ?
Yes they just screw or clip apart
Install alluminium glass if broken
