Installation Guide

Water damage is one of the most common causes of
building repairs. Not only are such repairs costly, but
in many cases damage is impossible to correct.
Further, water intrusion in building structures creates
a favorable environment for the development of other
serious problems – such as mold, dry rot and decay.
Proper water management is the essential first step in
controlling mold, dry rot and decay.
The easiest way for water to get into structures is
through windows, doors and other detail areas where
no water protective building components are installed.
To minimize the possibility of water entry, all critical
detail areas should be flashed using the appropriate
flashing materials and following the proper installation
techniques.
