3 INTEGRATING THE DOOR TO THE BUILDING FELT
Note: The flashing tape must be applied approximately 1/2" onto the frame cladding at the jambs and
head. Pre-folding the tape at 1/2" before removing the paper backing will make it easier to apply the
tape correctly. If the siding is less than 1/2" thick, adjust the dimension of the fold so the exterior sealant
line will cover the exterior edge of the tape.
A. Apply side flashing tape.#UTPIECESOFmASHING

width of the rough opening. Position the bottom edge of the flashing paper flush with the
frame of the door and center the flashing paper with the door. Staple the flashing paper to
the header.
Note: When applying the first layer of building felt, ensure the sill flashing paper
overlaps the building felt. This will tie the door system into the building water
management system.

Caution: Ensure use of low pressure polyurethane window and door installation foams and strictly follow the foam manufacturer’s
recommendations for application. Use of high pressure foams or improper application of the foam may cause the door to bow and
hinder operation. DO NOT use fiberglass insulation.

B. 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
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.
