Installation steps: 3. Masonry/concrete structures
Schematic diagram
If the window is already installed, CONTEGA SL is stuck to the frame.
3a. Stick to frame
Remove one of the release film strips on the smooth membrane side. Place the full width of the adhesive strip of the tape onto the frame and stick the first reveal side. Rub firmly using the pro clima PRESSFIX application tool to secure the adhesive bond.
3b. Remove the inner release film
Remove the inner strip of release film on the first reveal side as far as the first corner.
3c. Preparation of corners
Fold the tape in the corner area. Ensure that there is uninterrupted airtight adhesion at the window. Then continue sticking around the rest of the frame. When finished, cut the tape, allowing approx. 5 cm of an overlap.
3d. Apply adhesive to surface
Apply an approx. 5 mm thick line (more in the case of very rough subsurfaces, if necessary) of ORCON F joint adhesive to the soffit in a zig-zag pattern.
3e. Place the tape onto the adhesive
Remove the inner release film all the way around. Note: ORCON F will not stick to the release paper. Place the tape onto the adhesive. Do not press the adhesive completely flat so as to allow for relative motion between components.
3f. Stick the ends
Remove the outer release film from the lower tape. Apply a line (approx. 5 mm thick) of ORCON F joint adhesive between the overlapping ends of the tape. Place the tape onto the adhesive. Do not press the adhesive completely flat so as to allow for relative motion between components.
3g. Remove the outer release film
Remove the outer strip of release film (on the fleece side) all the way around. Note: plaster will not adhere to the release film. You’re now ready for plastering!
