The perimeter joint between door exterior and the
exterior building material must conform to siding
manufacturers’ recommendations. All masonry,
stucco, or synthetic stucco systems require an
expansion joint around the door perimeter that
must be filled with sealant compatible with the
building material and door components.
Expansion joint space should be no less than 3/8"
and not greater than 1/2" unless stated otherwise
by your siding manufacturer. If there is a conflict,
follow siding manufacturer’s guidelines.
Failure of this joint will cause structural damage
unrelated to door performance.
