CREATE “INTERIOR” AIR SEAL

Continuous “Interior” Air Seal
NOTE: Shims may need to be cut back, so the interior air seal is
“continuous” between the patio door frame and the rough opening.
Create a required continuous air seal on the interior by integrating the
rough opening and the patio door frame with low-expansion polyurethane
foam or backer rod and sealant. NOTE: If foam is used, a 1/2" - 1" depth
is prescribed. Backer rod can be used to control the depth.
The use of a drip cap on all window/door products is recommended,
regardless if supplied. A drip cap is required on any vertical mulled/
joined products, regardless if supplied. NOTE: A drip cap may not be
suitable for some product lines (e.g. brickmould vinyl, ush n, vinyl at
casing, various wall systems), regardless these product lines need to be
incorporated into the wall in a weather-shedding manner.
REMOVE PROTECTIVE FILM
8
If applicable, remove any protective lm immediately
from all surfaces of the frame/panel and within six
months from any glass.
After Installation
• Ensure weep holes/channels are clear of debris for proper water
drainage. DO NOT seal weep holes/channels.
• Leave an expansion/contraction gap of approximately 3/8" between the
patio door 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.
• Protect recently installed units from damage from plaster, paint, etc.
