Installation steps: 2. Window already installed
1. Window in masonry or timber structure
CONTEGA SOLIDO EXO-D is to be applied subsequently to an already mounted window.
2. Create a sub-sill flashing
First create a sub-sill flashing as a second waterproof layer using the EXTOSEAL ENCORS sealing adhesive tape.
3. Cut the CONTEGA SOLIDO EXO-D window-sealing tape
Add approx. 4 cm (1 5/8") to the height of the frame and cut this length of CONTEGA SOLIDO EXO-D.
4. Stick to the frame
Remove approx. 5-10 cm (2" - 4") of the narrow release film strip on the membrane side (unprinted side). Continue the tape around the corner and gradually stick it in place all around the window.
5. Stick to the reveal, allowing for slack
Remove the second (wide) release film strip and gradually stick the tape in place on the reveal. Start sticking the reveal in the corner area. Leave slack for expansion so as to allow for relative motion between components.
6. Stick the corners and all around the window
Continue sticking the rest of the window (frame and reveal) in the same manner. Ensure that the corners are stuck over with at least 2 cm (3/4") of an overlap. The adhesive bond must be windtight and resistant to driving rain all around.
7. Stick to the sub-sill flashing
Guide CONTEGA SOLIDO EXO-D from the frame and reveal onto the sub-sill flashing and create a windtight, water-resistant adhesive bond that is resistant to driving rain here too.
8. Rub to secure the adhesive bond
Rub the tape firmly into place on the frame and reveal using the pro clima PRESSFIX application tool.
Tip: The width of the application tool can be adapted as needed.
9. You‘re finished!
The windtight joint is now complete, and CONTEGA SOLIDO EXO-D can be plastered over.
