6. Cut two pieces
of self-adhesive
flashing 6" wide by
the sill pan width +
3" long.
a. For continuous
slab landings
only, cut out the
inside corner.
b. Adhere the
pieces of
flashing to the
inside corners.
Stretch flashing
as needed to
cover corners
and lay flat.
7. Smooth gaps or
bubbles beneath
self-adhesive
flashing with a
J-roller (remove
and replace if
necessary).
8. Seal back corners of
sill pan with sealant.
9. For step-down
landings only, cut
plastic drain screen
to length of sill +
2" and staple 1/2"
below sill edge.
The drain screen
provides a path for
air to dry any incidental moisture in the rough opening.
End of Stud-Framed Wall Instructions, continue with section 6,
“INSTALL DOOR.”
FOR RETROFIT INSTALLATIONS
After removing the old door, remove sufficient siding to expose at least
9" of intact building wrap. If damaged, apply new building wrap in a
shiplap manner. Verify header and trimmer studs are structurally sound.
PREPARE BUILDING WRAP
Verify these steps are allowed by the building wrap manufacturer.
1. Trim building wrap
flush with the
edges of the rough
opening.
2. If installing a drip
cap, (recommended
because this
integrates the
building wrap and
drip cap to protect
the structure and
the product from
incidental water)
at the head, slit
building wrap 6"
at 45°. Tape up as
shown.
3. Trim the sides
sufficiently to allow
the nailing fin to be
mounted against
the sheathing.
4. Apply spray
adhesive/primer
to the sill pan and
surrounding area.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for application methods.
5. Cut a piece of self-adhesive flashing the length of the sill and apply
over the sill pan as shown. The bottom of the sill pan should be
completely covered by the self-adhesive flashing. For step down
landings, fold flashing down as shown. For continuous slabs, trim
flush with rough opening.

and the concrete/masonry with sealant.
2. Cover the buck and the surrounding concrete/masonry at the head
and jambs and sill with liquid applied flashing as shown.
