6 SEALING THE WINDOW TO THE EXTERIOR WALL CLADDING
When applying siding, brick veneer or other exterior finish material, leave adequate space
between the window frame and the material for sealant. Refer to the illustration that
corresponds to your finish material.
Note: The sealant details shown are standard recommendations from the sealant industry.
Contact your sealant supplier for recommendations and instructions for these and any
other applications.
B. Check window operation (vent units only) by opening and closing the window.
Note: If the window 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.
