Re: Fitting a double glazed window in a oak door using? |

I think that a glazing mastic would be more nornal and yes use some of those
little plastic blocks to centralise the DG unit in the aperture. Then use
oak beading bedded in more mastic to dress up the visible surround.
I think you could use silicone but I wonder if it would be better to use a
neutral cure one (does not release acetic acid aka vinegar as it cures)
it would be a shame to stain the oak and theremight be some damage to the
aluminium foil used on the edges of the DG unit.
If you are going to use any mechical fixings into the oak remember not to
use ferrous ones as the tannic acid in the oak will rust them in time
leading to more stains.
Good Luck
Bob
