About this detail

An extruded aluminum window frame installs at a window opening in a reinforced concrete masonry unit shear wall with a head sealant and cylindrical sealant backing. A steel lintel supports the solid grouted concrete masonry unit header above the opening, with a mounting angle provided by the manufacturer. Below the window, an extruded aluminum frame connects with sill sealant, extended sill flashing, sheet metal flashing and trim, and fluid-applied membrane air barriers. A louver installs in a separate opening, supported by mounting angles from the manufacturer and a shear wall below. Glass units install within the extruded aluminum frames per schedule.
