ROW is a distributor of Park-Vue Wood Patio Doors. The Park-Vue doors provided by Merrill Millwork offer many quality advantages over other manufacturers' doors. Some of these are:

  • Completely reversible, meaning they can be set up with either panel operating.
  • Wood sash and frames are quality crafted of high-grade western pine treated with water- repellant preservative.
  • An extruded reversible aluminum screen is included with all units. Features long-lasting fiber glass mesh and steel rollers.
  • Swing doors feature a no-warp construction engineered into each door stile and the locking stile consist of a laminated core to ensure stability.
  • Sliding Doors feature a double weatherstripping and rigid vinyl interlock with woven pile to ensure weather tightness.

How to Measure

  1. Take all window measurements from inside the home at the innermost points at which the replacement window will rest.
  2. Always list the WIDTH first, then the HEIGHT. This is the standard method of ordering and will ensure your windows are not built with the sizes reversed.
  3. Measure the width of the rough opening between the jambs at three locations: top, center and bottom (Fig. 1). Record the smallest dimension.
  4. Measure the height of the rough opening from the Uppermost point of the sill (just outside the stool) to the top of the window casing (Fig 2). Take three measurements: left side, center and right side. Record the smallest measurement.

Proper selection and installation of the weather barrier and sealant materials is crucial to creating a weathertight seal and water barrier around the perimeter of the new window. In replacement construction, it is very important to take all of the necessary steps to insure the continuity between the existing weather barrier and the new materials. Restoration will include repairing the existing weather barrier and the installation of new flashing as required or needed.

Note: Replacement window conditions vary widely. Always
install in conformance with federal, state and local codes.
Before replacing windows in bedrooms and near doors, check
the prevailing requirements pertaining to egress windows and
safety glass.

How to Install

  1. Remove blind stop, parting bead and sashes.
  2. Slide window into opening. Square and plumb where
    necessary using shims.
  3. Apply screws through jamb to hold unit in place. Do
    not overtighten.
  4. Measure and cut sill angle to appropriate height.
  5. Snap in sill angle to groove.
  6. Caulk outside of unit and finish exterior as desired.

Two Ways to Order

  1. Give the opening size and we will deduct 1/4" from the
    width and 1/2" from the height,
  2. Give the exact size of the window that you require.
