2. The foam wedges
included with
French and Patio
doors are used
to complete the
weatherstrip seal at
each bottom corner
of the operating
door panel(s). Doors
will be provided
with one of two
types of wedges.
One has an up-
turned l-shaped
leg (shown) and the
other is a simple
wedge. For both
types, gently pull
the weatherstrip flap away from the frame and position the wedge
behind the weatherstrip and against the sill so that the thin edge
faces the edge of the door as it swings closed. Remove the backing
paper and stick the wedge to the frame. Apply a bead of sealant at
the intersection of the jambs, brickmoulds, thresholds and floor as
shown.

4. Apply sealant around the outside of the door unit between the
siding and brickmould and between the brickmould and the jamb.
Also apply sealant between the jamb sides and the threshold. Run a
bead of sealant, leaving 1" gaps every 2', along the front side of the
threshold where it meets the slab/rough opening.
5. Create a continuous air seal on the interior between the rough
opening and the frame with low expansion foam.

landings, also seal under the door sill with a discontinuous joint. Do
not apply sealant on top of the drip cap.
