B-10 Seal Interior Opening
Install DuPont
™
Residential Sealant or recommended sealant (and backer rod as
necessary) around the window opening at the interior. It is also acceptable to use
DuPont
™
Window & Door Foam or recommended foam at the interior cavity of the
jambs and head. If foam is used at the sill, recommended sealant should be used at the
sill area behind the foam to ensure a proper water seal. The seal created by the sealant
(and backer rod as necessary) will also serve as a back dam. DuPont
™
Residential
Sealant should be tooled flat to allow the natural curing process to create a concave
shape. Be sure that the sealant penetrates the grooves of the DuPont
