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. e determination of the suitability of all building components, including the use
of Pella products, as well as the design and installation of ashing 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.

management of moisture within the wall systems, such as barrier Exterior Insulation and
