Instructions / Assembly

● Place the window or door into the opening, ensuring it is level and plumb
● Use shims between the frame and the opening to adjust and level the window or
door. Place shims at multiple points around the frame as needed
● Secure the window or door frame to the CFS structure. Screws can be placed
through the shims if used, ensuring the window or door is securely anchored to the
structure
3. Flashing Installation:
● Apply flashing tape over the flanges of the windows and doors on the exterior side.
The flashing tape should overlap the house wrap to create a watertight seal.
Properly integrate and seal the flashing tape at the corners and joints to prevent
water infiltration
4. Siding Installation:
● Install the siding around the windows and doors. Cut the siding to fit around the
frames and ensure it overlaps the flashing tape. Properly seal the gaps between the
siding and the frame with caulk
5. Installing Sliding Doors:
● Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installing sliding doors, ensuring they are
level, plumb, and properly sealed
● Apply flashing tape around the sliding door frame on the exterior side, overlapping
the house wrap
6. Spray Foam Application (If required):
● Use spray foam insulation around the gaps between the window or door frame and
the rough opening. This helps in sealing gaps, providing thermal insulation, and
preventing drafts. Follow the foam manufacturer's instructions for proper
application
7. Trim Installation:
● Install exterior trim around windows and doors after the siding is in place. The trim
should overlap the flashing tape and be properly sealed with caulk to prevent
water penetration
8. Final Checks:
● Inspect all seams, joints, and penetrations to ensure they are properly sealed and
weather-resistant
