(after all the glass is installed)
Caulking is used for
sealing aluminum to
the wood/concrete
base and against the
wall
(see picture on
page 12)
.
For most people,
silicone is easier to
use for sealing glass
to aluminum . The areas that need to be sealed with
silicone include:
• on the front and the
back of the endbars *
• around the
ventframe
• Below the gutter
• along the ridge where the
glass slides under the flange
• around the
doorframe
• doorframe beside the
base / sill
