COMPLETE INSTALLATION

Continuous Air Seal

Create a continuous air seal on the interior by integrating the rough

opening and the window frame with low expansion polyurethane foam or

backer rod and sealant.

After Installation

• Install exterior wall surface per manufacturer’s guidelines.

• Leave an expansion/contraction gap of approximately 3/8" between

window frame and nal exterior wall surface (siding, stucco, etc.). For a

nished look and additional protection, seal this gap on the sides with

backer rod and sealant. If sealant is applied above the drip cap ensure

the sealant bead is discontinuous to allow for drainage.

• Remove protective lm from cladding (if present) immediately after

installation; remove from glass within one year.

• Protect recently installed units from damage from plaster, paint, etc. by

covering the unit with plastic.

• Finish all exposed wood surfaces immediately following installation.
