Vertical Jointing 

The joints should be tightly butted at forty-five degrees downwards towards the outer leaf to stop water penetration.

Corner Jointing 

When jointing horizontal to vertical, ensure you trim both PVC Flanges and allow the vertical to extend below the horizontal to stop water ingress.

The Five Stages of Fitting 

Measure the Windows or Doors Opening.

Cut Profile to your required length.

Measure your Cavity Opening.

Cut insulation to correct width using the pre-cut groove. Do not cut the Outer Shell.

Press the insulation side into the Opening, fixing the plastic flange using Clout, Nails or Grab Adhesive.
