1 Weather Shield Telescoping Sliding Patio Door Installation Instructions The Telescoping Sliding Patio Door is shipped K.D. (Knocked Down) as shown above. IMPORTANT: Please read before you begin installation.

2 Weather Shield Telescoping Sliding Patio Door Installation Instructions IMPORTANT: 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 installed before installation to insure proper compliance. The installation instructions that follow are based on typical frame construction. Specific applications may differ. Weather Shield Mfg., Inc. recommends that you consult a qualified installation professional. Weather Shield Mfg., Inc. is not responsible for installation. IMPORTANT: A number of jurisdictions have adopted building code design pressure requirements that require door products be installed in the same way they were installed for laboratory testing. To comply with these requirements, we are pleased to supplement the installation instructions with the following: Apply a generous bead of silicone sealant on the back side of the nailing fin. When sealant is applied to the rough opening it must be applied directly to the building s sheathing and not the building wrap. Exterior house wrap must be cut and temporarily taped back away from rough openings. The nailing fin must contact the sealant continuously along the entire perimeter of the unit and must fully contact exterior face of the wall around the door s entire perimeter. Exterior housewrap must be trimmed and reapplied over the nailing fin. It must be sealed to the fin along the entire perimeter with silicone sealant. Refer to the chart on the following page for the fastening method that meets test specifications. Definition: Throughout these instructions DPR equals For Design Pressure Rating. Any procedure so titled must be completed to maintain the rating validity. Non-DPR is for installations not requiring maintenance of design pressure ratings. In this case you can follow procedures for either DPR or non-dpr. Weather Shield Mfg., Inc. reserves the right, as necessary, to change product specifications, installation procedures, materials, prices and terms of purchase without notice. ii

3 Design Pressure Performance Fastening Method Aluminum Doors With Pre-Punched Fastener Holes Unit Description Fastener How to Fasten Aluminum Nailing Fin with Pre-Punched Fastener Holes / No Brick Mould #8 Steel screws long enough to penetrate framing material by at least 1-1/2". Place a screw in a prepunched nailing fin hole and fasten securely into framing members. Distance between screw centerlines is to be 8" to 10". Do not use holes which are within 4" of each other. INSTALL NOTES: A shim space, not to exceed 1/4", is required. If a shim space greater than 1/4" exists on the interior or exterior of the unit, use solid material to fill this space until the maximum 1/4" shim allowance is achieved. ADDITIONAL NOTES: Doors do not require a 1/4" shim space at the sill. For installation that has exposed fasteners, it is recommended to use fasteners made of 300 series stainless steel. Follow your local codes if they specify a different series of stainless steel. Certain options, accessories and warranty considerations require the unit be installed using installation clips. The clip install method has not been tested for design pressure ratings and should not be used where design pressure ratings must be maintained.

29 Recommended Finishing Instructions Always follow chemical manufacturers safety instructions when using chemicals to avoid injury or illness For Aluminum Surfaces The aluminum surfaces may be cleaned with mild soap and water. Hard to remove stains and 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 Surfaces For best results, the interior wood should be sealed immediately upon installation or upon receipt especially if unit is being stored for ANY length of time. Remove all construction residue before finishing. 1. Lightly sand surfaces being finished with 180 grit or finer sandpaper. Be careful not to scratch the glass. 2. After sanding, clean-off sanding dust from the surface using lacquer thinner applied 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 tack cloth. 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. 25

30 Weather Shield Products With Synthetic Stucco Serious concerns have been raised about excessive moisture problems in homes and other buildings that have 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 that penetrates the wall system to weep to the exterior. This can cause excessive moisture to accumulate within the wall system, which can cause serious damage to wall and other building components. It has been 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 with appropriate moisture control considerations, taking into account prevailing climate conditions. Examples of moisture control considerations include flashing and/or sealing of all building exterior penetration points, 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, including allowances 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 with these professionals. Weather Shield Mfg., Inc. is not responsible for problems or damages caused by deficiencies in building design, construction or maintenance, failure to install our products properly, or use of our products in systems that do not allow for proper management of moisture within the wall system.
