Installation steps: 2. Window already installed
1. Window in masonry structure
CONTEGA SOLIDO EXO 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. Guide the tape into the corners precisely and also run it to a height of 20 cm (8") on the reveals on each side.
3. Cut the CONTEGA SOLIDO EXO window-sealing tape
Add approx. 4 cm (1 5/8") to the height of the frame and cut this length of tape.
4. Stick to the frame
Remove the narrow release film strip. Apply the CONTEGA SOLIDO EXO to the corner of the frame along the full width of the adhesive strip, allowing for an excess of 2 cm (3/4"). Stick the excess tape to the adjacent reveal surfaces.
5. Stick to the sub-sill flashing
Put the tape in position on the sub-sill flashing and stick it in place.
6. Stick to the reveal, allowing for slack
Remove the release film strip and gradually stick the tape in place on the reveal. Leave slack for expansion so as to allow for relative motion between components. Stick the tape to the sub-sill flashing.
7. Stick the corners and all around the window
Continue sticking the rest of the window (window frame and reveals) in the same manner. Ensure that the corners are stuck over.
8. Rub to secure the adhesive bond
Rub the tape firmly to secure the adhesive bond. This step can be carried out more efficiently and in a manner that is kinder to your hands by using the pro clima PRESSFIX application tool.
9. You’re finished!
The windtight joint is now complete, and the tape can be plastered over.
