GREAT STUFF PRO ™ Window & Door
Insulating Foam Sealant
R E S I D E N T I A L
The instructions outlined
here describe how to use
GREAT STUFF PRO
™ Window &
Door Insulating Foam Sealant
to air seal the gap around an
installed window or door frame
and the rough opening. GREAT
STUFF PRO Window & Door is
designed to form a durable,
airtight, water-resistant bond to
vinyl, wood, composite and
metal surfaces. It reduces the
amount of moisture intrusion
through fenestration openings,
which can help prevent moisture
damage and wood rot. This
one-component, minimal
expanding, low-pressure flexible
polyurethane foam expands
only enough to generate an
effective seal, and is formulated
to not distort or bow window
and door frames when properly
applied.
General
Information
• GREAT STUFF PRO ™ Window
& Door Insulating Foam
Sealant is available in 20 oz
(567 g) and 24.5 oz (695 g)
reusable gun- and straw-applied
versions. See Table 1 for
estimated yields.
• Using one of the PRO Series
foam dispensing guns (shown
in Figure 1) simplifies the
application of GREAT STUFF
PRO Window & Door. In addi-
tion to enabling pinpoint
application control, an airtight
and moisture-tight seal
between the gun and the can
prevents the foam from curing
and blocking the dispensing
valve, allowing a can to be
reused.
Conditions
of Use
• GREAT STUFF PRO ™ Window
& Door is flammable during
dispensing. Shut off all gas
pilot lights, electrical igniters
and other sources of ignition
(e.g., candles, space heaters
and halogen lamps) before
and during use. Do not smoke
or use matches/lighters while
dispensing foam.
• Use GREAT STUFF PRO
Window & Door in a well-
ventilated area or with proper
respiratory protection. The

contact. Read the Material

• Contents of the can are under
pressure. Do not place in hot
water. Do not puncture, incin-
erate or store at temperatures
above 120°F (49°C). Can may
burst if left in areas susceptible
to high temperatures, such
as motor vehicles or near
radiators, stoves or other
sources of heat.
• Foam is extremely sticky. Take
appropriate measures to
protect skin, eyes and surfaces.
Wear gloves and safety glasses
or goggles.
• GREAT STUFF PRO Window &
Door may be used on vinyl,
wood, composite and metal
(aluminum or steel) surfaces.
The product adheres best
when surfaces are clean and
free of oil or chemicals.
• GREAT STUFF PRO Window &
Door should be applied at
temperatures between 40°F
and 100°F (4°C and 38°C) at
relative humidity ≥20%.
• Extremely cold temperatures
can affect dispensing
performance.
• Skin of cured foam can dis-
color if exposed to direct and
continuous sunlight for 24
hours or more. Foam should
be painted or coated if pro-
longed exposure to sunlight is
expected.
