INTERIOR FINISHING

If products cannot be finished immediately, cover with clear plastic to protect from dirt, damage and moisture. Remove any construction residue before finishing. Sand all wood surfaces lightly with 180 grit or finer sandpaper. DO NOT use steel wool. BE CAREFUL NOT TO SCRATCH THE GLASS. Remove sanding dust.

Pella products must be finished per the below instructions; failure to follow these instructions voids the Limited Warranty.

•On casement and awnings, it is optional to paint, stain or finish the vertical and horizontal sash edges.

•On single-hung and double-hung, do not paint, stain or finish the vertical sash edges, any finish on the vertical sash edges may cause the sash to stick; it is optional to paint, stain or finish the horizontal sash edges.

Clean this surface with mild soap and water. Stubborn stains and deposits may be removed with mineral spirits. DO NOT use abrasives. DO NOT scrape or use tools that might damage the surface.

Use of inappropriate finishes, solvents, brickwash or cleaning chemicals will cause adverse reactions with window and door materials and voids the Limited Warranty.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Because all construction must anticipate some water infiltration, it is important that the wall system be designed and constructed to properly manage moisture. Pella Corporation is not responsible for claims or damages caused by anticipated and unanticipated water infiltration; deficiencies in building design, construction and maintenance; failure to install Pella® products in accordance with Pella installation instructions; or the use of Pella products in wall systems which do not allow for proper management of moisture within the wall systems. The determination of the suitability of flashing and sealing systems are the responsibility of the Buyer or User, the architect, contractor, installer, or other construction professional and are not the responsibility of Pella.

Pella products should not be used in barrier wall systems which do not allow for proper management of moisture within the wall systems, such as barrier Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems, (EIFS) (also known as synthetic stucco) or other non-water managed systems. Except in the states of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado, Pella makes no warranty of any kind on and assumes no responsibility for Pella windows and doors installed in barrier wall systems. In the states listed above, the installation of Pella Products in barrier wall or similar systems must be in accordance with Pella’s installation instructions.
