When installing plastic door frames and windows frames would you put a
concrete screw going up into the lintel?

No real need - and you want to avoid distorting the frame.

Best to lay it on a level bed, and fix to the sides. The foam etc
infill provides the strength.


How many have you fitted?


Two large windows, patio doors and a single ouside door. Simply
followed the instructions. And they've been fine for many a year.

How many have you installed?


6 sliding sashes, 7 casements, 3 external doors, oh and a 12mē
conservatory with 2 sets of French windows (& that's just in this
place...) ;-p


And you screwed them all into a concrete lintel? Why?
