The performance of any building is dependent upon the design, installation, and workmanship of the entire building system. Pella Corporation strongly recommends consulting an experienced architect, contractor, or structural engineer prior to installation of Pella products.

The individual (building owner, architect, contractor, installer and/or consumer) responsible for the project must take into account local conditions, building codes, inherent component limitations, the effects of aging and weathering on building components, and other design issues relevant to each project.

The determination of the suitability of all building components for each project, as well as the design and installation of flashing and sealing systems, are the responsibility of the building owner, architect, contractor, installer and/or consumer.
