F-4500 Fiberglass Folding Wall System (JII-90076)
TITLE 1
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 wall system frame and the 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 wall systems from damage from plaster,
paint, etc.
• Please reference JMC004, Finishing and Renishing Instructions for
Interior and Exterior Door Slab and Systems located on our website
at jeld-wen.com.
• If installing a retractable screen, please reference JII-90043,
Installation Instructions for F-4500 Retractable Screen System
located on our website at jeld-wen.com.
Continuous “Interior” Air Seal
NOTE: Shims may need to be cut back, so the interior air seal is
"continuous" between the wall system frame and the rough opening.
Create a required continuous air seal on the interior by integrating
the rough opening and the wall system frame with low-expansion
polyurethane foam or backer rod and sealant. NOTE: If foam is used, 1/2"
- 1" depth is prescribed. Backer rod can be used to control the depth.

Interior Trim
• Due to the depth of the wall system (5 5/8"), a ller between the
drywall and the interior trim will be needed. The width of the ller will
depend on the interior wall conditions.
