On Structure With Housewrap
If your structure does not have housewrap
continue on Page 9.
Trim and reseal housewrap to new door after
door is installed according to the instructions
on Pages 6 and 7.
See (FIGURE 1) for Steps 1 through 3.
1. One section at a time, untape and fold
housewrap over nailing fin and up against the
door frame. Use a utility knife or scissors and
carefully trim housewrap alongside the door frame
or brickmould. When trimmed, housewrap must lay
flat against sheathing, overlap the nailing fin, and
fit tightly against the door frame or brickmould.
After trimming and dry fitting, tape housewrap back
out of the way so bottom side is exposed. Repeat
for each section of housewrap.
2. Apply a continuous bead of caulk to the back
side of the housewrap along the edge that will
butt against the door frame or brickmould. Also
caulk along edges of any additional seams and
at diagonal corner cuts.
3. Fold each caulked section down onto sheathing,
overlapping the nailing fin and butting it tightly to
the door frame or brickmould. Smooth out all
wrinkles and bulges.
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for each section.
4. Finish by inspecting each housewrap seam
making sure each seam is sealed with silicone
sealant (FIGURE 2).
To continue your installation proceed to “Square
and Straighten The Interior” on Page 16.
