FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Painting Instructions:
Wood door frame exteriors, premium steel door panels, sidelights are factory primed. If a paint finish is desired, finish
the parts with two coats of a 100% latex paint that has a good blocking resistance. On units with glass, do not bridge paint between the outer edges of the glazing frame and the door panel. On fiberglass products, brush the paint in the same direction as the simulated wood grain. Ensure that all exposed panel edges are finished to minimize the chance of panel damage.
Failure to use the correct type of finish may result in a door that sticks shut. Ask a qualified paint professional to specify a product with good blocking resistance.
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’s 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 all building components, including the use of Pella products, as well as the design and installation 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.
