Aluminum Window Delivery: Site Handling Guide for Contractors

t395-47

Aluminum window delivery goes smoothly when the site is ready before the truck arrives: a clear access route, a dry and level storage spot, and a confirmed installation date. Units are made to measure in our factory at Rival Street 37, Tel Aviv, then delivered upright and protected so they reach the opening undamaged.

Confirm the Delivery Plan Before Production Ends

Good coordination starts before the windows leave the factory. Once measurements are signed off and the drawings are approved, we agree on a delivery window with you so the crew on site knows what is arriving and when.

Share the following details with us in advance:

Floor and elevation of each unit
Whether the building has a lift or only stairs
Any restricted hours for trucks or loading zones

Clear information at this stage prevents units from waiting outside or being carried up at the wrong time.

Prepare a Safe Access Route

Aluminum windows are light but large, and their frames and glazing can be scratched or cracked by a rough path. Before delivery, walk the route from the street to the floor where the units will go. Look for doorways that are narrower than the frame size, steps without handrails and uneven ground.

Remove loose tiles, cement bags and tools from the path. If the stairwell is tight, plan to carry units in the upright position, never flat on one side. Covering the floor edges with board or cardboard protects the stone and the frames during handling.

Choose the Right Storage Spot on Site

If windows cannot be installed the same day, store them in a dry, covered space that is clear of dust and wet mortar. Direct sun, rain and construction splashes can all damage the finish and seals over time.

Stand units upright on the packing blocks provided
Keep them away from plaster, concrete and paint work
Do not stack heavy materials on top of the frames
Lean units gently against a wall with a soft separator

Leave the protective film on until the window is fixed and the site is cleaned.

Handling Units Without Damage

Lift each window by its frame edges and never by the handle, the opening sash or the sealing strips. Two people are recommended for larger units, and gloves help keep fingerprints and grit off the surface.

Check each unit on arrival. Look for scratches, bent corners, broken glass or missing hardware, and photograph anything unusual before signing the delivery note. Report issues on the same day so we can review them with you while the details are fresh.

Coordinate the Installation Crew

The person managing the site should know exactly which opening each window belongs to. Label units clearly with the floor and location, following the drawing we provided, so the installer does not need to search or guess.

Make sure the wall openings are plumb, the sill height matches the drawing and the anchor points are ready. If the opening has changed since measurement, tell us before installation rather than forcing a fit, because adjustments made on site often affect the seal and the operation of the window.

Schedule Delivery Around Other Trades

Aluminum windows often arrive in the middle of a busy phase, with plasterers, electricians and painters all working nearby. Agree on the sequence in advance. Ideally, the window opening is finished and cleaned before units arrive, and the painting that could splash the frames is completed afterward or masked properly.

A short site meeting with the contractor, the installer and our team helps everyone agree on the order of work and avoids units being delivered too early or blocking other materials.

After Installation: Protection and Cleaning

Once the windows are fixed, check that they open, close and lock smoothly. Remove the protective film gradually, and clean the frames with mild soapy water rather than abrasive products or solvents. Plaster and cement residue should be wiped off promptly before it dries and bonds to the surface.

If any part of the window needs adjustment after fitting, call us early. Quick feedback keeps the warranty process and the final handover simple for everyone involved.

Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should I confirm the aluminum window delivery date?

Confirm the date once measurements and drawings are approved, and keep us updated if your site schedule changes. Early notice lets us coordinate production and the truck with your crew.

Can aluminum windows be left on site for several days?

Yes, provided they are stored upright in a dry, covered area away from construction dust and wet materials. Keep the protective film on until installation is complete.

What should I check when the windows arrive?

Inspect each unit for scratches, bent frames, broken glass and missing hardware, and photograph any issues before signing the delivery note. Report problems the same day.

Who should carry the windows up to the floor?

Two people should handle larger units, lifting by the frame edges and keeping them upright. Plan the route in advance, especially if there is a stairwell without a lift.

Common mistakes to avoid

Many delivery problems come from unclear access routes and windows left leaning against rough walls or stacked under heavy materials. Removing the protective film too early or leaving units exposed to plaster splashes are also common causes of avoidable damage.

Our recommendation

Before delivery day, have the site walked by the person who will carry the units, and mark the opening for each window clearly. This five-minute check prevents most handling damage and last-minute surprises.

Summary

Plan the access route, prepare a dry storage spot, inspect units on arrival and coordinate installation with other trades for smooth aluminum window delivery.
