ALUMINUM CLAD TRIM APPLICATION
Note to Installer:
• After-market aluminum capping and/or trim wrap is to be completed prior to the installation of any JELD-WEN
aluminum trim.
• Aluminum trim serves as an aesthetic component only and SHOULD NOT be considered a water-tightsystem.
• A drainage path beneath or around the trim is required at bottom of each windowopening. Any sealant
applied to the bottom trim must be intermittent to allow for drainage.
• Many of the trim pieces are striated and can be trimmed to t as needed. A butt or mitered corner joint can be
achieved at the discretion of the installer.
• Trim is offered for aluminum clad window products only.
