Caution: Ensure use of low pressure polyurethane window and door insulating foams and

strictly follow the foam manufacturer’s recommendations for application. Use of high pressure

foams or improper application of the foam may cause the window

frame to bow and hinder operation.

Apply insulating foam sealant

. From the interior, insert the nozzle

of the applicator approximately 1" deep into the space between the

window and the rough opening and apply a 1" deep bead of foam.

This will allow room for expansion of the foam and will minimize

squeeze out. Apply sealant across interior surface of shims to create a

continuous seal. Follow foam manufacturer's instructions.

Note: DO NOT completely fill the space from the back of the fin to

the interior face of the opening.

Check window operation

(vent units only) by opening and closing

the window.

Note: If the window does not operate correctly, check to make sure it is still plumb, level,

square and that the sides are not bowed. If adjustments are required, remove the foam with

a serrated knife. Adjust the shims, and reapply the insulating foam sealant.

Interior

When applying siding, brick veneer or other exterior finish material, leave adequate space

between the window frame and the material for sealant. Refer to the illustration that

corresponds to your finish material.

Note: The sealant details shown are standard recommendations from the sealant industry.

Contact your sealant supplier for recommendations and instructions for these and any other

applications.
