Pella® Window and Door Installation Method1 helps prevent costly water damage.
The method — This total installation solution, including quality Pella® windows and doors, creates a weather barrier so effectively that it greatly minimizes water infiltration and the damage it can cause.
The tape — With our exclusive SmartFlash® installation tape, you eliminate the need to apply messy caulk around the installation fins. And even if the installation allows incidental water infiltration, this new method helps enable water to escape, minimizing water damage.
The foam — Great Stuff™ Pro Window & Door Insulating Foam Sealant by The Dow Chemical Company2 is formulated to air-seal gals around windows and doors. The flexible seal permits expansion and contraction while minimizing drafts. Plus, it helps save energy with an air-resistant and water-resistant bond to vinyl, fiberglass, wood and metal. The low-pressure formulation is designed not to bow window and door frames. And the dispensing tool provides greater control with no mess!
