C.Begin the sill sealant bead 1/2" from one jamb, running it across the sill and stopping
1/2" from the opposite jamb. This 1/2" sealant gap on each side of the sill allows for incidental water drainage.
D.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
Any exposed wood and flashing tape on the exterior 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.
Note: The contractor/installer will determine how to finish the exterior.
