Continuous Air Seal
NOTE: Shims may need to be cut back, so the interior air seal is
continuous“ between the window frame and the rough opening.
Create a required 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. NOTE: If foam is used, a 1/2" - 1" depth
is prescribed. Backer rod can be used to control the depth.
Low-expansion foam
If applicable, remove any protective lm immediately
from all surfaces of the frame/sash 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.
Install exterior wall surface per manufacturer’s guidelines.
Leave an expansion/contraction gap of approximately 3/8" between the
window frame and nal exterior wall surface (siding, stucco, etc.).
Protect recently installed units from damage from plaster, paint, etc.
The head and seat board should be protected (e.g., roof, skirt) and
insulated with rigid foam.
