JELD-WEN does not endorse the installation of our products
into a barrier-type install system unless a sill pan is present,
incorporated with through-wall ashing and can drain to the
exterior (along with other “required” components). Failure to
do so may result in the denial of any warranty claims.
JELD-WEN advises against product installation in
high interior water exposure environments such as
showers, steam rooms and enclosed pool areas. These
areas are beyond the tested/certied design intent if
the window and any related warranty claims could be
denied on that basis.
Glossary
Backer Rod (backing material)
A material (foam rod) placed into a joint primarily to control the depth and
shape of the sealant. Also serves as a bond breaker.
Buck
A code-compliant framework built into a door or window opening in a
concrete or masonry wall to which the door or window frame is secured.
Continuous Air Seal
A continuous seal put into the air gap area around the interior side of the
fenestration perimeter to restrict inltration or ex-ltration of air past the
fenestration product.
Pilot Hole
A pre-drilled hole that is no larger than the body of the screw (minus
thethreads).
Rough Opening (R.O.)
The opening in a wall into which a window or door is to be installed.
Self-Adhered Flashing
Flexible-facing materials coated completely or partially on at least one
side with an adhesive material and which do not depend on mechanical
fasteners for attachment. They are used to bridge the joint (gap) between
fenestration framing members and the adjacent water-resistive barriers or
sealed drainage plane material. The purpose of ashing is to drain water
away from the fenestration product to the exterior.
Please allow sufcient time to properly prepare the rough opening,
install the door, and ensure its proper operation.
