Description
This is the first BRANZ Ltd investigation into the adequacy of the strength of fixings used to attach windows into New Zealand houses. It is not intended to be an extensive study looking at the total range of possible window sizes, shapes and construction, but rather an initial investigation to determine which parts may be critical. Despite the limited testing some design guidance is provided. In a few critical areas further work is recommended.
