be found on our website: www.jeld-wen.com. Note that alternative
installation methods and flashing systems may be utilized at the
installer’s or owner’s discretion and, in such situations the installation
should be done in accordance with the flashing manufacturer’s
instructions. Follow all material manufacturer’s instructions for
proper use and compatibility. When using flashing, spray adhesive/
primer, sealant and foam products, we recommend using the
same manufacturer and verifying compatibility. It is the End User’s
responsibility to determine if dissimilar materials are compatible to the
substrates in the application.
