Installation Instructions

Insulation, Openings and Housewrap

Openings

Seal the flanges around the window with a

self-adhesive waterproof membrane. Start

at the bottom (1), follow the sides (2) and,

finish with the top (3).Make sure to overlap

the waterproof membrane properly. Ensure that adhesive flashing

is adequately bonded to the vapor/air barrier and in full contact with

the perimeter surface opening.

Housewrap

When installing a housewrap, make sure it is properly

layered where necessary. Overlap layers at least 6”

(150mm) and tape the seams with a tape from an

approved manufacturer.

Insulation

If you’re replacing an old siding, this is a perfect time to insulate your house from

the exterior. Use rigid insulation, extruded polystyrene foam type, and fasten the

furring strips through the insulation into the studs using longer screws.

Before going into details regarding the preparation work and installation of

Novabrik, here are a few important notes on insulation, flashing and housewrap

for your home.

Note: For clarity reasons, housewrap and flexible flashing are

not shown on all drawings in this booklet.

Thermal Control

Walls retrofitted with thermal insulation

must meet the requirements for heat trans-

fer, air leakage and condensation control of

your local Building Code.
