Installation steps: Window already mounted
1. The window is already mounted
The window joint on an already mounted window is to be sealed with CONTEGA SOLIDO EXO, in combination with EXTOSEAL ENCORS.

2. Create a sub-sill
Use the EXTOSEAL ENCORS sub-sill tape to create a sub-sill as a second waterproof layer. Guide the tape into the corners precisely and also run it to a height of approx. 6-15 cm (2 1/2” - 6”) on the reveals on each side depending on the type of facade used. Close off any open profile ends and groove ends using a suitable sealant.

3. Cut the CONTEGA SOLIDO EXO window sealing tape to length
Add approx. 8 cm (3 1/4”) to the height of the frame and cut this length of tape.

4. Start applying tape at the top of the frame
Allowing CONTEGA SOLIDO EXO to extend about 4 cm (1 5/8”) onto the lintel surface from the corner, start applying the narrow adhesive strip of the tape onto the lintel and the reveal. Guide the tape along the vertical window frame as far as the sub-sill. Remove the remaining release film strips and stick the tapes to the reveal, allowing slack to accommodate relative motion between components. Apply tape in an analogous manner in the lintel area. Close off any open groove ends using a suitable sealant.

5. Carry out installation work carefully
Careful taping with no gaps is a prerequisite for windtightness and resistance to driving rain. Rub using the PRESSFIX application tool to secure the adhesive bond.
