1. Release the building wrap
from above the header
(previously taped up) and
overlap the header ashing.
Seal the ends with self-
adhered ashing or building
wrap tape.
2. Adjust window for
bestoperation.
3. Seal the top corners of the
window with a 1/4" bead of sealant. Tool into a llet shape.
Continuous Air Seal
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.
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 manufactures’ guidelines.
• Leave an expansion/contraction gap of approximately 3/8" between
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.
• Protect recently installed units from damage from plaster, paint, etc. by
covering the unit with plastic.
