The
AWDI Installation Certification Program"It won't work right if it's not installed right"™ is more than a phrase, it is the guiding philosophy of AWDI and its operations. In today's climate of performance enhancing innovation and testing of window products, the quality and value of the majority of residential window and door products is not in doubt.
It is the installation of the product, in a new or existing opening, that is at least equal in importance to any other facet in the ultimate satisfaction of the homeowner.
Window and Door products have become more sophisticated, and have become, in effect, precision appliances - able to separate and control the interior environment independent from the outside environment; while being able to operate reliably for long periods of time.
The AWDI Standards Version 1.3 seeks to create consistent installations, utilizing consistent products, in inconsistent applications. Therefore, the AWDI Installation Certification Program is given with an eye on instructing the installer on the ways to create the "consistent opening" ready to accept the new window; and teaching the installer how to remove the opportunities for mistakes rather than just avoiding them.
