INSTALLATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR WINDOWS AND DOOR ASSEMBLIES

摘要

A system for installing a window assembly with a nailing fin in an opening with a sill. A sill drain mat includes a barrier wedge with a front edge, a rear edge, a bottom surface and a top surface. A fiber layer includes a top surface, a bottom surface and an adhesive layer. A first portion of the fiber layer includes a sealing strip and is adhered to the top surface of the barrier wedge and extends inwardly. A second portion of the fiber layer extends outwardly from the front edge and forms a mating surface with the sill. A gasket includes a first surface attached to an inner surface of the nailing fin, a second surface received adjacent an outer surface of the wall, and an outer edge comprising a protruding end configured to receive an outer edge of the nailing fin extending along a length of the gasket.
