We recommend Low-E for applications where energy efficiency is needed, for example in areas with cold winters/hot summers (especially if the door receives direct sunlight).
Our kit makes installation easy and quick. The exterior (outer) frame comes already sealed to the glass unit and kit includes a tube of sealant for securing the exterior frame to your door (same type of sealant used to seal aircraft windows into planes). All you need to install the glass kit into your door is a screwdriver to secure the interior frame to the exterior frame.
NOTE: DO NOT SNAP FRAMES TOGETHER UNTIL SEALANT APPLIED TO OUTSIDE FRAME AND INSTALLED ONTO DOOR
1. Remove the insert from its box and inspect for any shipping damage
2. Remove rubber spacers from glass
3. Place exterior frame (with glass sealed to it) on a flat, solid surface that is clean and free of any abrasives that could scratch the frame
4. Neatly apply 3/8” bead of sealant (included in box) in the groove around the perimeter of the exterior frame
5. We recommend removing the door from its hinges and carefully aligning the door cut-out over the frame & lowering the door onto the silicone bead. However, for sidelites or if you wish to keep door on its hinges (not advisable for large glass kits), have a helper insert and hold the exterior frame and glass in rough opening
6. Place interior frame into door cut-out, align male/female pieces, and carefully apply pressure by hand to snap frame halves together
7. Install zinc coated screws into predrilled holes loosely. Then tighten with no more pressure than 18-20 inch/lbs. Over tightening can damage window.
8. Snap screw cover trim caps on interior frame, starting with the short pieces. Then install longer pieces by bowing in the middle in order to snap together
