recommendations for application. Use of high pressure foams or improper application of the foam may cause the door to bow and
hinder operation. DO NOT use fiberglass insulation.

A.
Apply insulating foam.
From the interior, insert the nozzle of the applicator approximately 1" deep
into the space between the door 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. If using foam other than Great
Stuff
™
Window and Door Insulating Foam Sealant by the Dow Chemical Company, allow the foam
to cure completely (usually 8 to 24 hours) before proceeding to the next step.
Note: DO NOT completely fill the space from the back of the fin to the interior face of the opening.
B.
Check the door operation
by opening and closing the door.
Note: If the door 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.
