19916647 Installation Instruction
Installer and Builder Information
I M P O R TA N T
Marvin Modern Direct Glaze Corner window is not load bearing and should not be installed in any manner that places
the unit under load from the wall system. Care must be taken with the design of the structure surrounding these units.

• Always provide a copy of these instructions for the


current or future building owner.
• Plan sizing of rough opening and clearance from
exterior finishing systems to allow for normal
materials shrinkage or shifting (e.g. wood structure
with brick veneer; allow adequate clearance at the
sill). Failure to do so can void the Marvin warranty
coverage.
• It is the responsibility of the builder, installer and
subcontractors to protect the interior and exterior of
windows or doors from contact with harsh chemical
washes, construction material contamination and
moisture. Damage to glazing, hardware,
weatherstrip and cladding/wood can occur. Protect
with painters tape and/or protective sheathing as
required. Follow all guidelines regarding material
use, preparation, personal safety and disposal.
• Contact your Marvin supplier if you have any
questions regarding product and materials used in
manufacturing or questions on replacement parts.

19916647 Installation Instruction
Protective Film
Some products feature a clear protective film adhered to the glass surfaces to protect them from construction debris,
dust, dirt, stucco, etc. When construction is complete, simply peel the film off and dispose of it with other construction
debris.

I M P O R TA N T
Do not use a razor blade to remove the protective film. Do not use a pressure washer to clean debris from the film.
The film should be removed within nine months (typical) of application.

The use of high absorption coatings and tints, Neat+® coated glass, LoE-189® and other exposed Low-E coatings
could affect adhesion and reduce the amount of time allowed to remove the film. Please refer to the manufacturer’s
website and bulletin for more information on the physical properties and usage of the protective film.

I M P O R TA N T
DO NOT place suction cups over seams in the protective film.

Figure 1 Do not put suction cups on seams or edges

Before You Begin
Rough and Masonry Opening Requirements
The following measurements were used to obtain
WDMA performance certification during testing.

1. Rough opening (RO) width may be up to 1 1/8" (29)


wider (3/4" maximum on each side) than the outside
measurement (OM) of the frame. The RO height may be
a maximum of 3/4" taller than the OM of the frame. See
Figure 2.

I M P O R TA N T
Rough openings are tested and certified at 3/4" on each
side, and at the head jamb. Marvin Order Management
System (OMS) will add 1 1/8" to the frame width but
only 3/4" to the frame height when calculating the rough
opening.

Figure 2 RO Width and Height clearance

1 RO Width (3/4" on each side)


2 RO Height (3/4" taller than OM of frame)

I M P O R TA N T
When using drywall return (or equivalent) at the sill
greater than 1/2" thickness, you will need to shim be-
neath the sill to avoid interference with interior covers.

I M P O R TA N T
Be sure to use the proper safety equipment. Wear
gloves when working with the window parts and be
aware of any sharp edges and corners.

Tip
The following steps and illustrations demonstrate in-
stalling the window in the opening starting with the left
side. You may install the corner bracket on the right
hand window and work from right to left.

1. Starting with the left window, remove and discard the


screws fastening the top and bottom shipping clips to
the frame (3 screws per clip). Then remove the false
jamb by pulling the bottom out and rotating to the Figure 33
interior.
3. Clean the corner jamb with isopropyl alcohol.
Continue to step 4 on page 20.

Shim the Sill

I M P O R TA N T
Proper shimming is extremely important. Under shim-
ming or over-shimming will result in bowed jambs and or
head jamb. When shimming near the miter location be
sure to shim each window independently and as close
to the miter as possible.

1. Place shims on the sill near the corners, near the


miter, at the center, and every 15" on center as needed.
See Figure 35.

Figure 36

Figure 35

1 Install shims at center points and/or at 15" on center

2. Level the shims as necessary to make sure both legs


are level. See Figure 36.

19916647 Installation Instruction
Installing the Windows in the Rough Opening
1. If you are mulling windows to the sides of a corner
window, install the corner window first. Tip
Each frame miter is cut at 46 degrees. A slight gap is
normal, however frames must be installed at 90 de-
grees to each other.

I M P O R TA N T
Proper shimming is extremely important. Under shim-
ming or over-shimming will result in bowed jambs and or
head jamb. When shimming near the miter location be
sure to shim each window independently and as close
to the miter as possible.

3. Level at the sill and plumb the unit. Adjust shims


under the sill to level if necessary. See Figure 39.

Insulating and Sealing the Installation
1. Apply insulation in the rough opening, against the
backer rod installed earlier. See Figure 80.

2. Apply a continuous bead of sealant around the


interior perimeter. Seal all joints where drywall
returns to the window frame. See Figure 80.

I M P O R TA N T
Do not install drywall over the interior frame cover. This
will hinder the ability to remove the cover later. When
applying sealant between the cover and drywall, use a
paintable caulk.

CAUT ION!
Perimeter sealant must be Grade NS Class 25 per
ASTM C920 and compatible with the window product
and the finished exterior(s) of the building. Using im-
proper sealant could result in sealant failure causing air
and water infiltration.
