6INTERIOR SEAL (CONTINUED)
B.On the interior, seal the door sill to the floor with a corner bead of sealant. Connect this bead of sealant to the insulating foam at both door jambs.
C.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 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.
7SEALING THE DOOR TO THE EXTERIOR WALL CLADDING
Note: When applying siding, brick veneer or other exterior finish materials, leave adequate space between the door frame and the material for sealant. Refer to the illustration that corresponds to your finish material. Not allowing adequate space or not using backer rod may cause the sealant to break down prematurely and allow water to infiltrate.
