INSTALLATION INFORMATION
ROUGH OPENINGS
The purpose of a rough opening is to allow for proper spacing between
the window or patio door unit and the building structure. The space is
required for locating, leveling and squaring the unit during installation
and to provide an area for insulation. A rough opening that is incorrectly
sized may affect unit operation and may not allow for adequate fastening
of the unit to the building structure. Andersen minimum rough opening
dimensions are provided as a guideline to help determine the minimum
amount of space needed between the window or patio door and the
building structure. See appropriate product sections for rough opening Example of window sill fl ashing in
guidelines for each product. a membrane drainage system.
Keep in mind that rough opening dimensions may need to be altered
from published guidelines, depending on installation methods, joining
methods, replacement methods, etc. For example, fl ashing systems
can reduce the amount of available rough opening space and should
be factored in when calculating rough opening dimensions. The use of
support or joining materials will encroach on the rough opening and may
require additional rough opening space between the unit and the building
structure, depending on the thickness of the fl ashing system and joining
materials used. To facilitate drainage, the sill plate should never slope
toward the interior. For challenging environments and other information,
refer to EEBA’s (Energy and Environmental Building Association) Water
Management Guide (www.eeba.org). Example of two units joined together with the use of gusset plates and

IMPORTANCE OF PROPER INSTALLATION plus the overall joined window dimensions.
Proper installation and maintenance of Andersen products is essential to attain optimum performance and operation. Installation instructions that provide guidelines for proper installation are
typically provided with Andersen products. They are also available by visiting andersenwindows.com. Remember that every installation is different, and Andersen strongly recommends consultation
with the local supplier or an experienced contractor, architect or structural engineer prior to the installation of any Andersen product. The method of attachment for Andersen products, fastener
selection and code compliance is the responsibility of the architect, building owner, contractor, installer and/or consumer. For more complete installation details, visit andersenwindows.com or
see your Andersen supplier.
