Installation steps: Window already mounted


1. The window is already mounted
The window joint is to be sealed with CONTEGA SOLIDO SL in an airtight manner

2. Start applying tape at the top of the frame
Add approx. 8 cm (3 1/4”) to the height of the frame and cut this length of tape. Allowing CONTEGA SOLIDO SL to extend about 4 cm (1 5/8”) onto the lintel surface from the corners, start applying the wide adhesive strip of the tape onto the reveal. Extend the tape from the vertical reveal surfaces onto the sill surface for about 4 cm (1 5/8”). Remove the remaining release film strips and stick the tapes to the window frame, allowing slack to accommodate relative motion between components. Apply tape in an analogous manner to the lintel area and the area under the window. Close off any open groove ends using a suitable sealant.

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