The tables within this guide determine the number of nails or screws needed for 1. The following tables for nails, screws and masonry anchors set a guidance for the
appropriate fixing of windows and doors. minimum number of fasteners required to hold a window into a timber frame, brick,
The number of nails or screws needed are dependent on the: blockwork or lightweight steel frame.

• Wind Classification (as provided by AS 4055) 2. These tables have been derived by using the following Australian Standards:
• ULS Wind Pressure (as provided in Table 2.5 of AS 2047) • AS 2047:2014 – Windows and external glazed doors in buildings
• Diameter of Nail or Screw Size
• AS 1720.1:2010 – Timber Structures, Part 1- Design Methods
• Window Width
• Window Height • AS 4100:2020 – Steel Structures
• AS 4600:2018 – Cold-formed steel structures
