8 STEP INSTALLATION STICKER
The 8 Installation Steps below are included with
the product:
1. Inspect Product: Products should be inspected for shipping
damage, color, conguration, handing, and correct size, as well
as for any manufacturing anomalies prior to installation (e.g., warp,
bow, squareness). Contact your Dealer or JELD-WEN if any issues
are identied.
2. Inspect Rough Opening: Inspect rough opening prior to installation
of the product. Correct any deviation or intrusion that would prevent
the window/door product from being installed plumb, level, square
and without twist.
3. Install Sill Pan Flashing System: A pan ashing system (as dened
in ASTM E-2112) is required at the sill prior to window/door
product installation. Sill pan ashing systems must be installed onto
the sill of the rough opening in a weather-tight manner and drain to
the exterior. For sill pans without positive slope, place 1/4" tall plastic
shim 2" from each corner and no more than 8" on-center
in between.
4. Temporarily Fasten and Shim Product: Position window/door
product into rough opening and apply a screw through-frame or n
at an upper corner. Verify product is level. Add shims along the sides
and head to position the product square, plumb and without twist
(min. of 3 shims per side – top, bottom, middle).
5. Fasten Product (Size and Spacing): Unless specied by detailed
instructions or applicable code, products should be secured with
#8 pan-head (or larger diameter head) and corrosion-resistant
screws. Screws must be embedded a minimum of 1 1/4" into the
structural framing. DO NOT overtighten fasteners. Place a shim
at each through-frame screw location. Folding nail ns and some
exterior trim options are not structural, so through-frame fastening
is required. As a guideline, screw spacing should be 4" from corners
and 8" on center. Conrm screw size and spacing at www.jeld-wen.
com or supplemental installation instructions (if provided).
6. Install Drip Cap: The use of a drip cap on all window/door products
is recommended. A continuous drip cap is required on any vertical
mulled or joined products. NOTE: A drip cap may not be suitable
for some product features (e.g., brickmould vinyl, ush n, vinyl
at casing, various wall systems). Proper installation of these
products requires integration into the exterior wall in a weather-
shedding manner.
7. Create “Interior” Air Seal: A “continuous” interior air seal is
required. Use low-expansion window/door foam or backer rod
and sealant between the window/door frame and the rough
opening. Jamb extensions are not considered part of the frame.
An air space should remain between the nail n/exterior sealant
joint and the interior air seal. NOTE: You may need to cut shims,
so the interior air seal is “continuous” between the window/door
frame and rough opening.
8. Remove Protective Film: Remove protective lm immediately
from all surfaces of the frame/sash and within six months
from any glass.
JELD-WEN recommends the use of a registered design professional when
these installation guidelines DO NOT match your specic installation
conditions. It is the responsibility of the Owner, Architect or General
Contractor to select products in compliance with applicable laws and
building codes. Weatherproong of the rough opening, along with
the ashing and proper integration of the fenestration product
with the weather-resistant barrier, is the responsibility of the
installer. JELD-WEN recommends strict adherence to the current
version of ASTM E-2112.
NOTE: Altering the product or failing to follow installation instructions
could lead to the denial of future warranty claims.
JELD-WEN does not recommend the installation of our products
into a barrier-type exterior envelope system. Any barrier-
type system installation should include properly engineered
accommodations for sill pan and weep system drainage outboard
of the barrier system or cladding.
