Homeowner Forum / Construction / June 2006ATTACH ALUMINUN WINDOW TO STEEL SQUARE COLUMN?
Hello all - if you could suggest methods or details to attach a window to a steel column - preferrably without welding - it will be greatly appreciated. Pleae post reply to forum, thanks. ummm... you could weld it. :-) the only other choice is bolts or screws, its probably most common to bolt a nailer board to it like a 2x4 the nscrew or nail the window to the nailer. I'd probably use liquid nails between the nailer & beam also. oh.. & btw.. its not possible to weld aluminum to steel Why??

I'm sure this is not what you need <http://jbweld.net/index.php> I used to do this all the time when I built steel building. We use to make a wood frame to match the window size. it would be hiltied to the steel beam on the one side and then supported by an upright 2 X 6 or 2 X 8 (whatever would match the wall thickness) We only left about 1/4" clearance on each side since adding a brick molding is next to impossible to attach to a steel siding > Hello all - if you could suggest methods or details to attach a window > to a steel column - preferrably without welding - it will be greatly > appreciated.
