Disclosed is a system that utilizes at least one structural frame element within an existing aperture as a universal mounting framework for securing windows, doors and other structural elements that are installed within an existing aperture of a wall. The structural frame elements are preferably made from thermally isolating materials and are fastened within the aperture using means that do not severely damage the weather membrane. The structural frame elements may have been built in finishing trim around the installed structural components. The structural components may be further secured within the structural frame elements using holding elements and projecting members, which may be removable or unitary to the structural frame elements. Some of the surfaces of the structural frame elements that are exposed to the external environment contain a pitch that promotes drainage.
