Installation steps for window-sealing

1. Window to be mounted into a timber, masonry or timber structure

CONTEGA SOLIDO sl-D is to be pre-installed before the window is mounted.
The frame is laid out flat. The open ends of the window profile have been filled and the filling/sealing profiles have been attached.
The exterior side of the frame is facing up.

2. Start applying tape at the top of the frame

Remove the single release film strip on the printed side, position the tape on the side of the frame and then gradually stick in place. The printed side of the tape will face the window and extends upwards. Rub using the PRESSFIX application tool to secure the adhesive bond. If tape application is started at the side of the window frame, ensure that the tape overlap is executed in a waterproof manner.

3. Create corner folds

Create corner folds as shown here to make it easier to create a reliable seal to the window reveal at the corners later on.
The size of the corner folds should correspond to around 1.5 times the joint width.

4. Stick the tape all around the window frame

Stick the tape all around the side of the frame. At the end, cut off any excess length. Remove the release films from the end of the tape that is already in place in the overlap area, and stick the ends of the tape to create the overlap. Ensure that an uninterrupted rainproof seal is created when installing the tape. Rub using the PRESSFIX application tool to secure the adhesive bond.

5. Install the window and insulate the joint

Fold in the CONTEGA SOLIDO EXO-D tape so that it is not in the way, and then mount the window using a suitable fastening system.
Fill in the joint with a suitable insulation material, leaving no cavities.

6. Stick the tape to the reveal all around the frame and rub to secure

Remove the release film and gradually stick the tape to the reveal all around the window frame, allowing slack to accommodate relative motion between components. Ensure that there is an uninterrupted rainproof seal when applying the tape. Rub using the PRESSFIX application tool to secure the adhesive bond.

Tip

For the joint at bottom of the window, application of CONTEGA SOLIDO EXO-D can be continued onto the front face of the sill connection profile. This makes it easier to mount the window and apply the tape to the sub-sill later. In this case, a length of tape must be applied over the corner fold. This can also be done with all other corner folds. Tape should only be applied onto surfaces that will not be visible in the long term.
