Because all construction must anticipate some water infiltration, it is important that the
wall system be designed and constructed to properly manage moisture. Pella Corporation
is not responsible for claims or damages caused by anticipated and unanticipated water
infiltration; deficiencies in building design, construction and maintenance; failure to install
Pella ® products in accordance with Pella installation instructions; or the use of Pella products
in wall systems which do not allow for proper management of moisture within the wall
systems. The determination of the suitability of all building components, including the use
of Pella products, as well as the design and installation of flashing and sealing systems are the
responsibility of the Buyer or User, the architect, contractor, installer, or other construction
professional and are not the responsibility of Pella.
Pella products should not be used in barrier wall systems which do not allow for proper
management of moisture within the wall systems, such as barrier Exterior Insulation and
Finish Systems, (EIFS) (also known as synthetic stucco) or other non-water managed systems.
Except in the states of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado, pella
makes no warranty of any kind and assumes no responsibility for pella windows and
doors installed in barrier wall systems. In the states listed above, the installation of pella
products in barrier wall or similar systems must be in accordance with pella installation
instructions.
Product modifications that are not approved by Pella Corporation will void the Limited
Warranty.
