2. Start applying tape at the top of the frame
Remove the narrow release film strip, position the tape on the side of the frame flush with the frame edge and then stick in place. The fleece side of the tape should extend downwards here.
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 water-resistant 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. Apply tape all around frame and rub to secure
Stick the tape all around the side of the frame. At the end, cut the tape, allowing approx. 5 cm (2”) of an overlap, and create the overlap.
Ensure that an uninterrupted rainproof seal is created when installing the tape.

7. Sealing the window joint on the opposite side
CONTEGA SOLIDO IQ should be applied in an analogous manner to seal the window joint on the opposite (exterior or interior) side. Repeat the taping steps to achieve a seal that is airtight or windtight/watertight against driving rain.
