openings measure the width and height in several places
to ensure the header or studs are not bowed.
Note: 1-1/2" or more of solid wood blocking is
required around the perimeter of the opening. Fix any
problems with the rough opening before proceeding.
C. Cut the water resistive barrier.

in the water resistive barrier. Apply the tape covering
the entire diagonal cut in the water resistive barrier at
both upper corners of the window.
Note: Be sure to overlap the top corners.
Caution: Ensure use of low pressure polyurethane window and door insulating 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 window
frame to bow and hinder operation.

B. Check window operationYHQWXQLWVRQO\E\RSHQLQJDQGFORVLQJWKHZLQGRZ
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.
