Summary
Occupation involving measuring, processing, assembling, and installing metal sashes such as windows and doors in buildings on site, while ensuring waterproofing and airtightness.
Description
Metal sash installers are specialized construction workers who process and assemble metal sashes—such as windows and doors—for installation in building openings, customizing them to on-site dimensions. They handle installation, adjustments, and waterproof sealing. This requires precise dimension measurement, leveling and plumb adjustments, and ensuring water and air tightness performance. They must also select materials and determine construction methods based on site conditions and building specifications. Work often involves heights using scaffolding or aerial work platforms, and proceeds in coordination with other trades as a team.
