frame to bow and hinder operation.

A.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.

B.Check window operation (vent units only) by opening and closing the window.

Interior

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.

5 SEALING THE WINDOW TO THE EXTERIOR WALL CLADDING
