For Architects · GCs · Homeowners · Permit Packages
The manufacturer documents behind the systems we sell and install — Fleetwood installation instructions and CRL glass railing details — gathered in one place for design teams, builders, and plan check.
How To Use This Page
Every document below is published by the manufacturer — Fleetwood Windows & Doors or C.R. Laurence (CRL) — and linked directly to the source, so you always get the current revision. We don’t re-host or rebrand them. Where a detail affects your project, the manufacturer’s latest document and your project’s field conditions govern.
Working on a live project? Versa Glass can pull the right detail set for your submittal or permit package, confirm it against field conditions, and flag anything that needs project-specific engineering. Call (310) 847-9746 or send the plans through our GC & trade page.
Fleetwood Windows & Doors
Fleetwood publishes a full installation manual for each system — opening verification, sill pan and flashing, anchoring, panel installation, and sealing. These are the same instructions our crews install to as an Authorized Fleetwood Dealer.
Fleetwood’s signature sliding system: frame opening verification, sill pan installation, panel and screen installation, and sealing details.
Nail-fin window installation for the 450-T casement/awning family — flashing, shimming, anchoring, and perimeter sealing.
Frame assembly and installation for the EDGE_f slim-profile sliding system, including anchor locations and joint sealing.
How Fleetwood configurations are written — sliding, fixed, pocket, corner, and stacked layouts for windows and doors. Useful when reading elevations and quotes.
Installation instructions for Fleetwood’s impact-rated multi-slide system — pocket and corner configurations included. Manufacturer document — latest revision controls.
Installation instructions for the thermally broken 3070-T multi-slide — frame, panel, and sealing details. Manufacturer document — latest revision controls.
Fleetwood’s warranty page and the one-page transferable lifetime warranty itself — it transfers to the next owner, which matters at resale. Manufacturer document — latest revision controls.
How Fleetwood wants its doors and windows cleaned and maintained — the warranty expects it to be done and documented. Manufacturer document — latest revision controls.
Fleetwood’s architect binder — per-series architectural details and energy results for every current series. The starting point for plan and permit work. Manufacturer document — latest revision controls.
Versa Glass is the Fleetwood dealer that sells, installs, and services — including doors we didn’t originally install.
Fleetwood’s document library covers every current series. Tell us the series on your plans and we’ll send the exact manual for it.
Glass Railings · CRL Systems
A glass railing is only as good as what it’s anchored to. The right detail changes with the structure underneath — here is how the main conditions break down, with CRL’s own catalog, installation, and engineering documents linked below.
Surface-mount base shoe anchored into the slab, or core-mount pockets cored into the concrete. Anchor type, spacing, and edge distance come from the system engineering for the guard height and exposure.
Base shoe or posts must land on solid blocking — never just decking. Lag anchoring into doubled framing, with flashing and waterproofing detailed so the connection stays dry for the life of the deck.
Through-bolted, tapped, or welded connections to structural steel. Base shoe weld blocks and bolted plates keep the shoe removable for glass service later.
The shoe or posts mount to the face of the slab or stringer, keeping the walking surface completely clear — common on balconies and floating stairs. Needs a structurally sound fascia to anchor into.
Raked runs follow the stair angle with custom-cut glass. Layout starts from a field template of the actual steps — never from the plan alone.
California pool-barrier rules add gate requirements on top of guard rules: self-closing, self-latching gates with the latch at code height. The detail set has to show both.
CRL’s full railing catalog — base shoe, post, standoff, and windscreen systems, components, and typical details.
Step-by-step installation for CRL’s dry-glaze base shoe system — setting blocks, taper sets, and gasket installation.
CRL’s user guide for the TAPER-LOC XA base shoe system — including base-shoe mounting methods by substrate: concrete surface mount, steel weld-block and fascia mount, and wood. Manufacturer document (CRL tech doc 11M0325) — latest revision controls.
CRL’s engineering document for GRS base shoes — allowable loads, anchor spacing, and edge distances by guard height. The starting point for permit conversations.
CRL welded post railing systems with glass infill — surface mount, core mount, and fascia mount options, built to order.
Permit Support
Plan check usually wants the same things: what the product is, how it attaches, and who is installing it. We help our project teams assemble all three.
One honest note: manufacturer engineering is generic to the system. Where a city requires project-specific stamped calculations, those come from your project’s engineer of record — we coordinate our details with them.
