• Add insulation to air space between opening and unit.
• Caulk around entire perimeter of unit on exterior side; seal sealing fins to
siding or facing, seal front bottom edge of sill, seal all joints between jamb
and mouldings.
• Seal joints between exterior hardware trim and door face to prevent air and
water infiltration.
• Paint or stain according to Therma-Tru instructions. Do not paint gaskets or
weatherstrip.
• Maintain or replace sealants and finishes as soon as any deterioration is evident.
For semi-gloss or glossy paints or clear coats, do this when surface becomes
dull or rough. More severe exposures require more frequent maintenance.
• All Therma-Tru doors must be finished and maintained in accordance with our
recommendations. Failure to do so may affect the applicable warranty.
• Remove sill tape and labels on glass.
• Use touch-up paint to paint heads of rough opening screws
