Frame and opening checks

  • Confirm the frame is level, plumb, square, and aligned with the finished wall surface.
  • Check that fixing points are firm and placed as per the system recommendation.
  • Look for bending, twisting, visible gaps, or pressure marks around the frame.

Glass and gasket checks

  • Inspect the glass for scratches, chips, cracks, stain marks, and incorrect orientation.
  • Confirm gaskets are continuous, seated properly, and not stretched or cut short.
  • Check that glazing beads are locked and corners are neat.

Drainage and sealant checks

  • Confirm weep holes and drainage paths are open.
  • Check external sealant for continuous contact with both surfaces.
  • Reject messy, cracked, thin, or incomplete sealant lines before final payment.
