Nail Fin Booklet HPD NFHD – 17 Revised 11/06/2014 © 2014 Pella Corporation Interior Sealant Instructions CAUTION: Use low pressure polyurethane door insulating foams. Follow the directions on the can. Do not use high pressure or latex foams. A. Insert the nozzle or straw between the rough opening and door frame from the interior. Use a pliers (if necessary) to compress the end of a straw tube to allow it to ﬁt in tight openings. B. Place a 1" deep bead of foam approximately 1" from the interior of the frame to allow for expansion. DO NOT ﬁll the entire depth of the rough opening cavity. Note: Apply foam between the frame and rough opening, NOT between jamb extensions and the rough opening. C. To ensure a continuous interior seal, apply sealant over the interior surface of any shims or clips interrupting the foam seal. Backer rod (as necessary) and sealant can be used in place of the low expansion foam to create the interior seal. However, foam has greater insulating properties. Fiberglass batt or similar insulation is not recommended as it can absorb water and does not act as an air seal. D. Place a continuous bead of sealant across the inner sill at the intersection of the door sill and subﬂoor. Continue the sealant 6" up each jamb. Note: Use a low odor, paintable sealant such as Pella Window and Door Installation Sealant. Re-check door operation after foam installation. Excess foam may be removed with a serrated knife after it cures. Exterior Sealant Instructions CAUTION: Use a high quality, multi-purpose exterior sealant such as Pella Window and Door Installation Sealant. Follow the directions on the cartridge. When applying siding, brick veneer, ﬂashing, or other exterior ﬁnish materials, leave adequate space between the door frame and the material for sealant application of sealant. A. Insert backer rod 3/8" deep in the space around the door. Backer rod adds shape and controls the depth of the sealant line. B. Apply a continuous bead of sealant to the entire perimeter of the door. C. Shape, tool and clean excess sealant. When ﬁnished, the sealant should be the shape of an hourglass.

TROUBLESHOOTING - ADJUSTABLE STRIKE LATCHING ISSUES CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS GLASS: Remove any protective ﬁlm and labels and clean the glass, using a soft, clean, grit-free cloth and mild soap or detergent. Be sure to remove all liquid by wiping dry or use a clean squeegee. FACTORY FINISHED PANELS: A door panel that has been preﬁnished with stain or paint from the factory requires no additional ﬁnishing. Clean the surface with mild soap and water. DO NOT use abrasives. DO NOT scrape or use tools that might damage the surface. PELLA ALUMINUM CLAD FRAMES: The exterior frame is protected by aluminum cladding with our tough EnduraClad® baked-on-factory ﬁnish that needs no painting. Clean this surface with mild soap and water. DO NOT use abrasives. DO NOT scrape or use tools that might damage the surface. FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS Paint or ﬁnish immediately after installation. Note: To maintain proper product performance do not paint, ﬁnish or remove the weatherstripping, mohair dust pads, gaskets or vinyl parts. Air and water leakage will result if these parts are removed. After ﬁnishing, allow venting Doors and doors to dry completely before closing them. If paint, stain or ﬁnish gets on the weather stripping, wipe it off immediately with a damp cloth Pella Corporation is not responsible for interior paint and stain ﬁnish imperfections for any product that is not factory-applied by Pella Corporation. PANEL CLEANING AND PREP INSTRUCTIONS FOR UNFINISHED OR PRIMED PANELS: Dry wipe dust from doors gently. Examine door for possible smudges or ﬁngerprints made from normal handling or construction. To remove smudges, lightly wipe surface with warm water. DO NOT sand surface of ﬁberglass panel. Scuff sand with light grade sand paper or abrasive pad (220 grit or higher). Rinse surface with mineral spirits for ﬁberglass panels and warm water for steel panels. Let door and sidelight surfaces dry completely before applying ﬁnish. Finish the door panels as soon as possible after installation. STAINING FIBERGLASS PANELS OR UNFINISHED INTERIOR FRAME MEMBERS: Fiberglass door and sidelight panels may be stained with a gel stain if a wood look is desired. Pella offers stain kits in a variety of colors. Apply and ﬁnish per the stain kit manufacturer’s instruction. Ensure that all exposed panel edges are ﬁnished to minimize the chance of damage. Unprimed interior frame parts may be stained with wood stains and should be ﬁnished with a minimum of two coats of a clear polyurethane ﬁnish. DO NOT bridge the top coat between the outer edge of the glazing frame and the door panel. Note: The ﬁberglass base color tone will vary. This variance is normal and will not impact the stain color of the door. PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS: Wood door frame exteriors, premium steel door panels and sidelights are factory primed. Wood doors require painting immediately after installation. The factory applied primer is not intended for long term exterior exposure. Sand all un-primed interior wood surfaces lightly with 180 grit or ﬁner sandpaper before priming and painting. Fiberglass door and sidelight panels do not require priming. Use two coats of a 100% latex paint that has a good blocking resistance. On units with glass, do not bridge paint between the outer edges of the glazing frame and the door panel. On ﬁberglass products, brush the paint in the same direction as the simulated wood grain. For entry doors, ensure that all exposed panel edges are ﬁnished to minimize the chance of panel damage. Finishing panel edges is optional for Patio Doors. For additional information on ﬁnishing see the Pella Owner’s Manual or go to www.pella.com. The use of unapproved ﬁnishes, solvents or cleaning chemicals may cause adverse reactions with door materials. Pella will not be responsible for problems caused by the use of unapproved materials. If in doubt, contact your local retailer or representative. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Care and maintenance information is available by contacting your local Pella retailer. This information is also available at www.pella.com.
