Installation steps: 2. Window already installed
1. Window in masonry structure
CONTEGA SOLIDO SL is to be applied subsequently to an already mounted window.
2. Cut tape to length
Add approx. 4 cm (1 5/8") to the height of the frame and cut this length of CONTEGA SOLIDO SL.
3. Remove the first release film strip
Remove approx. 5-10 cm (2" - 4") of the narrow release film strip on the membrane side (smooth side).
4. Stick to the frame
Start applying the tape in the corner area. First position approx. 2 cm (3/4") of the tape on the horizontal part of the frame and stick the adhesive strip to the frame. Guide the tape around the frame corner and stick the tape to the vertical part of the frame. Gradually remove the release film while doing so.
5. Stick to the reveal
Gradually remove the second (wide) release film strip from the smooth membrane side. Start sticking to the reveal in the corner area. Stick the excess tape to the adjacent reveal side. Stick the tape as far as the next corner area. Stick the excess tape to the adjacent reveal side.
6. 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.
7. Stick the corners
Apply the tape with an overlap of at least 2 cm (3/4") in the corner areas. Ensure that there is uninterrupted airtight adhesion to the window and the masonry.
8. Stick the tape all around the window
Continue sticking around the window (frame and reveal) in the same manner. Rub firmly using the pro clima PRESSFIX application tool to secure the adhesive bond.
9. You‘re finished!
The airtight joint is now complete, and the tape can be plastered over.
