    Product Details

    • Preface/Scope

    Preface


    This is the second edition of CSA A440.4, Window, door, and skylight installation. It supersedes the previous edition, published in 1998 under the title Window and Door Installation. The title of the second edition has been revised to accommodate the inclusion of unit skylights. 



    Scope


    1.1

    This Standard sets forth methods for both new installation and replacement installation of factoryassembled windows, exterior doors, and unit skylights that are intended for installation in low-rise buildings and buildings used primarily for residential occupancy where


    (a) the windows (including window wall) are


    (i) within the application of CAN/CSA-A440/A440.1 or


    (ii) R, LC, or C class within the application of AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440


    (b) the doors are


    (i) within the application of CAN/CGSB-82.1, CAN/CGSB-82.5, or CAN/CSA-O132 or


    (ii) R, LC, or C class within the application of AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440; and


    (c) the skylights are


    (i) within the application of CAN/CGSB-63.14-M89 or


    (ii) R, LC, or C class within the application of AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440.


    1.2

    This Standard provides minimum requirements for the installation of windows, doors, and unit skylights. The Standard addresses issues that could compromise the performance of the window, door, or skylight as established by testing to the requirements of the Standards listed in Clause 1.1.


    Note: This Standard is considered supplemental to the manufacturer's installation instructions. 


    1.3

    This Standard covers both the pre-installation and post-installation procedures for installing windows, doors, and unit skylights. It does not apply to the fabrication or assembly of units, whether such fabrication takes place in a factory or at the installation site. 


    1.4

    The application of this Standard requires a working knowledge of applicable federal, provincial, and local building codes and regulations specifically concerning, but not limited to, required means of egress and requirements for safety glazing. 


    1.5

    This Standard does not apply to the


    (a) selection of windows, doors, or unit skylights for a given application


    (b) selection of other products for use in the installation


    (c) installation of storm windows or storm doors


    (d) maintenance of installed windows, doors, or unit skylights or


    (e) rebuilding of windows, doors, or unit skylights.


    Note: For product selection information, see CAN/CSA-A440/A440.1. 


    1.6

    This Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It does not set out requirements relating to the safety of the person installing the units.


    1.7

    This Standard assumes that its users are familiar with the terminology, procedures, and requirements of good building practice.


    It further assumes familiarity with sealants and sealing, glass handling procedures, painting, where applicable, and an understanding of the fundamentals of residential construction that affect the installation of windows, doors, or unit skylights.


    1.8

    This Standard does not address the qualifications and skills that an installer should possess.


    It is the responsibility of the users of this Standard to review and establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.


    1.9

    In CSA Standards, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard; and “can” is used to express possibility or capability.


    Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.


    Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.


    Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.


    1.10

    The values given in SI (metric) units are the standard. The yard/pound values given in parentheses
