4 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 door frame to bow and hinder operation.

A. Apply insulating foam sealant. From the interior, insert

4A

the nozzle of the applicator approximately 1" deep into

 

the space between the door 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. If using insulating foam other than Great Stuff ™

 

Window and Door Insulation Foam by the Dow Chemical

 

Company, allow the foam to cure completely (usually 8 to 24 hours)

 

before proceeding to the next step.

 

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

B. Check the door operation by opening and closing the door.

Note: If the door 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 DOOR TO THE EXTERIOR WALL CLADDING

When applying siding, brick veneer or other exterior finish material, leave adequate space between the door frame and the material for sealant. Refer to the illustration that corresponds to your finish material.

Note: The sealant details shown are standard recommendations from the sealant industry. Contact your sealant supplier for recommendations and instructions for these and any other applications.
