Step 1 — Assemble the Base Frame

Begin by assembling the lower perimeter frame and vertical structural supports.

The Brisas™ system uses precision aluminum framing components that connect together to create the structural footprint of the sunroom. Carefully position and secure the lower rails while ensuring all corners remain square and level.

At this stage:

Install the front base rails
Position vertical side columns
Secure mounting brackets
Verify alignment before tightening hardware

Maintaining proper level alignment during the base frame installation is critical for smooth bi-fold door operation later in the process.

Step 2 — Install the Rear Wall Mounting Structure

The rear wall-mounted support structure anchors the sunroom directly to the building wall.

This stage includes:

Installing upper wall rails
Securing structural mounting brackets
Anchoring side support rails
Confirming roof pitch alignment

The Brisas™ lean-to roof system is engineered to direct water runoff away from the structure while maximizing natural light transmission.

Proper anchoring into structural framing or masonry is essential for long-term durability and wind resistance.

Step 3 — Install Side Glass Panels

After the main frame structure is assembled, install the fixed side glass panels.

The Brisas™ system uses tempered safety glass designed for modern outdoor applications while maintaining maximum visibility and natural light.

During installation:

Carefully slide glass panels into frame channels
Use supplied gaskets and sealing components
Confirm proper seating within tracks
Avoid over-tightening retaining hardware

The slim architectural aluminum frame system creates a clean modern appearance while allowing expansive outdoor views.

Step 4 — Install Roof Support Framing

Next, install the roof rafters and structural roof support components.

The Brisas™ roof framing system distributes structural loads evenly while supporting the polycarbonate roof panels.

This phase includes:

Installing roof support rails
Securing intermediate roof members
Confirming spacing consistency
Preparing for roof panel installation

The integrated sloped roof profile helps improve drainage while maintaining a modern architectural appearance.

Step 5 — Install Polycarbonate Roof Panels

The Brisas™ Series roof system uses durable multi-wall polycarbonate roof panels designed to:

Diffuse sunlight
Reduce heat transfer
Improve weather resistance
Maintain bright natural lighting

Carefully slide each roof panel into the designated roof channels while ensuring proper orientation and overlap.

Once panels are installed:

Secure retaining caps
Install finishing trim components
Confirm weather seals are properly seated
Check drainage direction

Proper sealing during this stage is essential for long-term weather performance.

Step 6 — Install the Bi-Fold Door System

One of the defining features of the Brisas™ Series is its modern bi-folding glass door system.

The multi-panel folding door configuration allows the sunroom to transition seamlessly between:

enclosed indoor comfort
open-air outdoor living

Door installation includes:

Installing upper and lower tracks
Mounting door panels
Installing hinges and rollers
Adjusting panel alignment
Installing locking hardware

The installation guide also shows adjustable height settings for door positioning to ensure smooth operation after assembly.

Once installed, test:

folding motion
latch engagement
panel alignment
track smoothness

Step 7 — Final Sealing & Finishing

Complete the installation by:

Applying final sealant
Installing trim caps
Verifying all fasteners
Cleaning glass surfaces
Testing drainage flow

Inspect all roof and wall transitions carefully to ensure the structure is weather-sealed and properly secured.
