Product details
Installation steps
Installation steps: 1. Before the window is installed
1. Window to be installed in timber, masonry or timber structure
CONTEGA SOLIDO IQ is to be applied before the window is installed.
The frame is laid out flat. The open ends of the window profile have been filled and the filling/sealing profiles have been attached. The interior side of the frame is facing up.
2. Start applying tape at the top of the frame
Remove the narrow release film strip, position the tape on the side of the frame flush with the frame edge and then stick in place all around the window frame. The printed side of the tape is extends downwards.
Rub using the PRESSFIX application tool to secure the adhesive bond.
If tape application is started at the side of the window frame, ensure that the tape overlap is executed in a waterproof manner!
3. Create corner folds
To ensure that the tape can be simply and securely stuck to the window reveal later on, create corner folds as shown here.
The size of the corner folds should correspond to around 1.5 times the joint width.
4. Apply tape all around frame and rub to secure
Stick the tape all around the side of the frame. At the end, cut off any excess length and stick the overlap.
Ensure that there is uninterrupted airtightness/windtightness when applying the tape.
Rub using the PRESSFIX application tool to secure the adhesive bond.
5. Install the window and insulate the joint
Fold in the CONTEGA SOLIDO IQ tape and install the window properly.
Use a suitable fastening system.
Fill in the joint with a suitable insulation material, leaving no cavities.
6. Stick to the reveal all around and rub to secure
Remove the release film and gradually stick the tape to the reveal all around the window frame, allowing slack.
Ensure that there is uninterrupted airtightness/windtightness when applying the tape.
Rub using the PRESSFIX application tool to secure the adhesive bond.
9. Sealing the window joint on the opposite side
CONTEGA SOLIDO IQ should be applied in an analogous manner to seal the window joint on the opposite (exterior or interior) side. Repeat the taping steps to achieve a seal that is airtight or windtight/watertight against driving rain.
Installation steps: 2. Window already installed
1. The window is already installed
CONTEGA SOLIDO IQ is to be applied subsequently to an already mounted window.
NOTE: Ensure that the overlap is waterproof when applying tape on the exterior!
2. Cut tape to length
Add approx. 6-8 cm to the length of each side of the frame and cut this length of CONTEGA SOLIDO IQ.
3. Remove the first release film strip
Remove approx. 5-10 cm of the narrow release film strip.
4. Stick to the frame
Start applying the tape in the corner area. First position approx. 2 cm of the tape on the vertical part of the frame and stick the adhesive strip to the frame. Guide the tape around the frame corner and stick the tape to the horizontal part of the frame. Gradually remove the release film while doing so.
5. Stick to the reveal
Gradually remove the second (wide) release film strip. Start sticking to the reveal in the corner area. Stick the excess tape to the adjacent reveal side. Stick the tape as far as the next corner area. Stick the excess tape to the adjacent reveal side.
Other application situations
A - Transition between membranes and masonry wall
Guide the vapour control membrane into position. Leave slack for expansion so as to allow for relative motion between components. Remove the release films from CONTEGA SOLIDO IQ. Centre the tape on the transition point and gradually stick it in place. Rub firmly using the PRESSFIX application tool to secure the adhesive bond.
B - Rectangular penetrations in masonry / concrete
Remove the narrow release film and stick the tape to the first side of the beam. Remove the wide release film and stick the tape to the wall. Cut into the tape at the beam corners so that the tape can be applied to the adjacent beam sides. Seal the other sides in an airtight manner analogously. Rub firmly using the PRESSFIX application tool to secure the adhesive bond.
Sub-sill on timber projects
1. Prepare the window opening
Preparatory step for window installation on timber construction projects
Tape and seal the structure surface, window reveals and all joints so that they are airtight and watertight against driving rain.
2. Side details
In the case of reveal plates or a rear-ventilated structure, allow EXTOSEAL ENCORS to run approx. 10 to 15 cm up each reveal side.
If the reveal surfaces are to be plastered, run the sill tape up approx. 6 cm or else to the upper edge of the window sill profile.
3. Apply tape to the sill surface
Apply EXTOSEAL ENCORS to the sill surface, extending it at least as far as the inner edge of the window profile or – if necessary – across the entire depth of the structure. Allow an excess of at least 2 cm on the outside, or else as far as a suitable drip profile.
A sloped wall surface under the window will drain off water.
4. Extend the sub-sill to the outside
In the case of a rear-ventilated facade, stretch the tape in the corners (without damaging it) and stick it to a suitable subsurface, e.g. SOLITEX FRONTA WA.
Rub EXTOSEAL ENCORS using the PRESSFIX tool to secure the adhesive bond.
Sub-sill on masonry and concrete projects
1. Apply a smooth plaster finish to the window opening
Preparatory step for window installation on masonry and concrete construction projects
Apply a smooth plaster finish to the side and bottom areas where seals are to be installed.
If a plaster finish or sealing filler is applied to the wall area under the window, the transition to the side reveals can be sealed with EXTOSEAL ENCORS to cover any possible cracks (capillary gaps).
A sloped wall surface under the window will drain off water.
2. Side details
If the reveal surfaces are to be plastered, allow EXTOSEAL ENCORS to run approx. 6 cm up each reveal side or else to the upper edge of the window sill profile.
In the case of reveal plates or a rear-ventilated structure, allow approx. 10 to 15 cm here.
3. Apply tape to the sill surface
Apply EXTOSEAL ENCORS to the sill surface, extending it at least as far as the inner edge of the window profile or – if necessary – across the entire depth of the structure.
Stick the excess tape on the outside to a suitable drip profile.
General conditions
The bonds should not be subjected to tensile strain.
Rub the adhesive tapes firmly to secure the adhesive bonds. Ensure that there is sufficient resistance pressure.
Windproof, airtight or rainproof sealing can only be achieved if this sealing tape is installed without folds, creases or joints. Ventilate continuously and systematically to prevent build-up of excessive humidity; use a dryer if necessary.
When plastering, please observe the recommendations of the plaster manufacturer for non-absorbent subsurfaces. A bonding course may be necessary.
