Continuous Air Seal
NOTE: Shims may need to be cut back, so the interior air seal is
“continuous" between the window frame and the rough opening.
Create a continuous air seal on the interior by integrating the rough
opening and the window frame with low expansion polyurethane foam or
backer rod and sealant. If needed, apply additional sealant between the sill
pan or rough sill and the window frame.
After Installation
• Ensure weep holes/channels are clear of debris for proper water
drainage. DO NOT seal weep holes/channels.
• Install exterior wall surface per manufacturer’s guidelines.
• Leave an expansion/contraction gap of approximately 3/8" between the
window frame and nal exterior wall surface (siding, stucco, etc.). For a
nished look and additional protection, seal this gap on the sides with
backer rod and sealant. If sealant is applied above the drip cap, ensure
the sealant bead is discontinuous to allow for drainage.
• Remove protective lm (if applicable) on the glass within six months.
• Protect recently installed units from damage from plaster, paint, etc.
• The head and seat board should be protected (e.g. roof, skirt) and
insulated with rigid foam.
