6INTERIOR SEAL
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.
A. Apply insulating foam sealant. From the interior, insert |
|
the nozzle of the applicator into the space between the |
|
window and the rough opening approximately 1" past |
|
the edge of the frame (and past the jamb extensions) |
|
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 the interior surface of the |
|
shims to create a continuous seal. Follow foam |
|
manufacturer's instructions. |

Note: DO NOT place any foam between jamb | { |

extensions and the rough opening. |

Note: DO NOT completely fill the space from the back of the fin to the interior face of the opening.
