5 INTERIOR 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. Insulate between new frame and the existing frame with low

EXTERIOR

 

expansion insulating foam. FROM THE EXTERIOR insert the

 

nozzle of the applicator approximately 1" from the interior stop

 

and apply a 1" deep bead of foam. This will allow room for the

 

expansion of the foam and will minimize squeeze out. Follow

 

foam manufacturer's instructions.

 

Note: Masking between the window and the existing

 

interior stop will help alleviate possible squeeze out

 

of the expandable foam to the interior.

B. Check the window operation by opening and closing

 

the window. If bowed, remove foam with a serrated

 

knife, then check operation. If still bowed, adjust shims as

 

needed, then insulate as instructed in previous step.

 

C.Inspect the interior and carefully trim all excess foam sealant if needed.

6 EXTERIOR SEAL

A.Insert backer rod into the space around the window at the head and jambs. This should provide at least

3/8" clearance between the backer rod and the exterior face of the window.

Note: Backer rod adds shape and depth for the sealant line.

B.Place a bead of sealant at the jambs and head between the existing window frame and the replacement window frame.

Caution: DO NOT seal the bottom exterior to allow for incidental water to weep.

C. Shape, tool, and clean excess sealant. When finished, the sealant should be the shape of an hourglass.

Note: This method creates a more flexible sealant line capable of expanding and contracting.

EXTERIOR FINISH OF EXISTING FRAME

The exposed wood on the exterior stop needs to be covered/ protected. There are many ways to accomplish this, and each case can be unique.

A few possibilities include:

a)Covering the existing trim with aluminum coil wrap/ frame expander.

b)Sanding, priming and painting to match existing trim.

c)Covering the exposed wood with a high quality exterior grade sealant.
