WEATHERPROOF, FINISH AND MAINTAIN

32

• Add insulation to air space between opening and unit.
• Caulk around entire perimeter of unit on exterior side; seal sealing fins to

siding or facing, seal front bottom edge of sill, seal all joints between jamb
and mouldings.

• Seal joints between exterior hardware trim and door face to prevent air and

water infiltration.

• Paint or stain according to Therma-Tru instructions. Do not paint gaskets or

weatherstrip.

• Maintain or replace sealants and finishes as soon as any deterioration is evident.

For semi-gloss or glossy paints or clear coats, do this when surface becomes
dull or rough. More severe exposures require more frequent maintenance.

• All Therma-Tru doors must be finished and maintained in accordance with our

recommendations. Failure to do so may affect the applicable warranty.

• Remove sill tape and labels on glass.
• Use touch-up paint to paint heads of rough opening screws
