unanticipated water infi ltration; defi ciencies in building design, construction and
maintenance; failure to install 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. The determination of the suitability of
all building components, including the use of Pella products, as well as the design and
installation of fl 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.
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 and assumes no responsibility
for Pella windows and doors installed in barrier wall systems. In the states listed
above, the installation of Pella products in barrier wall or similar systems must be
in accordance with Pella installation instructions.
