Weather Shield Telescoping Sliding Patio DoorInstallation Instructions
Thoroughly read and follow these instructions, failure to install as recommended will void any warranty,expressed or implied. Check building codes for the area in which the doors are being installedbefore installation to insure proper compliance. The installation instructions that follow are based ontypical frame construction. Specific applications may differ. Weather Shield Mfg., Inc. recommends thatyou consult a qualified installation professional. Weather Shield Mfg., Inc. is not responsible forinstallation.
IMPORTANT:
IMPORTANT: A number of jurisdictions have adopted building code design pressurerequirements that require door products be installed in the same way they were installed forlaboratory testing. To comply with these requirements, we are pleased to supplement the installationinstructions with the following:
• Apply a generous bead of silicone sealant on the back side of the nailingfin.
• When sealant is applied to the rough opening it must be applied directly tothe building’s sheathing and not the building wrap.
• Exterior house wrap must be cut and temporarily taped back away fromrough openings.
• The nailing fin must contact the sealant continuously along the entireperimeter of the unit and must fully contact exterior face of the wall aroundthe door’s entire perimeter.
• Exterior housewrap must be trimmed and reapplied over the nailing fin. Itmust be sealed to the fin along the entire perimeter with silicone sealant.
• Refer to the chart on the following page for the fastening method thatmeets test specifications.
Throughout these instructions DPR equals “ForDesign Pressure Rating”. Any procedure so titledmust be completed to maintain the rating validity. Non-DPR is for installations not requiring maintenance of design pressure ratings. In thiscase you can follow procedures for either DPR ornon-DPR.

Recommended Finishing Instructions
For Aluminum SurfacesThe aluminum surfaces may be cleaned with mild soap and water. Hard to remove stainsand mineral deposits may be removed with mineral spirits.
• Do NOT use abrasive materials against vinyl or aluminum surfaces.• Do NOT scrape or use tools that might damage the surface.• Do NOT paint vinyl or aluminum surfaces.
For Wood SurfacesFor best results, the interior wood should be sealed immediately upon installation or uponreceipt especially if unit is being stored for ANY length of time. Remove all constructionresidue before finishing.
1. Lightly sand surfaces being finished with 180 grit or finer sandpaper. Be carefulnot to scratch the glass.
2. After sanding, clean-off sanding dust from the surface using lacquer thinnerapplied to a cloth so the cloth is slightly damp. Let surface dry.
-If painted surface is desired:1. Use only oil-based primer coats. Use compatible oil or water-based finish coats.
Refer to the manufacturers’ instructions.2. Prime all exposed wood surfaces. Priming all surfaces helps prevent end splitting,
warping and/or checking.3. Once primed, apply two (2) coats of paint (again on all exposed sides) to each
item.
-If a stained surface is desired:1. Use only oil-based stain and sealer for the first coat. Clear top coat may be oil or
water-based. Apply desired stain to the manufacturers’ instructions and let dry.
2. Apply one (1) coat of sealer to the surface and let dry.
If no sealer is applied over the stain, the wood will weather very rapidly and defects will occur.
3. Lightly sand with 180 grit sandpaper. Clean off sanding dust and wipe with a tackcloth.
4. Apply one (1) coat of desired finish to surface and let dry.
5. For any additional coats of finish, repeat steps 3 and 4.
Always follow chemical manufacturers’ safetyinstructions when using chemicals to avoidinjury or illness

Weather Shield Products With Synthetic Stucco
Part No. 1159296 02/04 Printed in U.S.A. ©2004 Weather Shield Mfg., Inc.

Serious concerns have been raised about excessive moisture problems in homes and other buildings thathave Exterior Insulation Finish Systems, commonly referred to as EIFS or Synthetic Stucco.
Many experts agree that a certain amount of water or moisture can be expected to enter almost any building exterior system. The building system should allow such water and moisture to escape or “weep”to the exterior, so no damage occurs. However, some EIFS systems may not allow water or moisture thatpenetrates the wall system to “weep” to the exterior. This can cause excessive moisture to accumulatewithin the wall system, which can cause serious damage to wall and other building components. It hasbeen reported that so-called “barrier” EIFS systems are particularly prone to this problem.
Moisture problems in any type of building structure can be reduced by proper design and construction withappropriate moisture control considerations, taking into account prevailing climate conditions. Examplesof moisture control considerations include flashing and/or sealing of all building exterior penetrationpoints, use of appropriate materials and construction techniques, adherence to applicable building codes,and general attention to proper design and workmanship of the entire building system, includingallowances for management of moisture within the wall system.
Determination of proper building design, components and construction, including moisture management,are the responsibility of the design architect, the contractors, and the manufacturer of the exterior wall finish products. Questions and concerns about moisture management issues should be taken up withthese professionals. Weather Shield Mfg., Inc. is not responsible for problems or damages caused bydeficiencies in building design, construction or maintenance, failure to install our products properly, or useof our products in systems that do not allow for proper management of moisture within the wall system.
