Summary
Specialist who installs and adjusts metal fixtures such as aluminum sashes and window frames on-site to ensure waterproofing, insulation, and soundproofing.
Description
Sash installers are professionals who install metal fixtures such as aluminum sashes, window frames, and door frames at construction sites. After arriving at the site, they measure dimensions (marking out) based on drawings and install the frames while confirming horizontality and verticality. They use drill drivers, levels, and caulking guns to fix them and fill joints, then insert glass (glazing) and perform opening/closing adjustments. Elevated work platforms or scaffolding may be used for safe work, and construction is carried out efficiently in teams.
Future Outlook
Demand for energy-efficient, highly insulated windows is increasing, and the demand for sash installation technicians remains stable. Requirements for handling high-function products and construction quality are rising.
