Red Seal Carpenter Practice Exam

When installing a window, where should the sill shims be placed?

1. At the V points of the sill.

2. Directly in line with the jambs.

3. At the Γö¼Γò¥ points of the sill.

4. Temporarily until window is securely fastened in place and then removed.

The correct answer is: Directly in line with the jambs.

When installing a window, the sill shims should be placed directly in line with the jambs. This helps to ensure that the window is level and properly supported. Placing the shims at the V or Γö¼Γò¥ points of the sill may not provide enough support and can result in an uneven or unstable installation. Option D may seem like a reasonable choice, but it is important to properly secure the window before removing any shims to avoid any potential shifting or damage.
