6INTERIOR SEAL
Caution: Ensure use of low expansion polyurethane window and door installation foams and strictly follow the foam manufacturer’s recommendations for application. Use of high expansive foams or improper application of the foam may cause the door 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 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. |
| |
Apply sealant across interior surface of shims to create |
| |
a continuous seal. For windows with jamb extensions |
| |
installed, ensure the foam is placed between the | 6A" | |
window frame and the rough opening, not between the | ||
| ||
jamb extension and the rough opening. Follow foam |
| |
manufacturer's instructions. |
|
Note: It may be necessary to squeeze the end of the tube with pliers to be able to insert into the space between the window frame and the rough opening. 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.
