Installation steps
Installation steps: 1. Before the window is installed
1. CONTEGA SOLIDO IQ is to be applied before the window is installed
The frame is laid out flat.
2. Stick to the head of the frame
Remove the narrow release film strip, position it on the head of the frame flush with the frame edge and then stick in place.
Install tape around both the interior and exterior sides of the windows.
NOTE: Ensure that the overlap is executed in a waterproof manner when applying tape around the exterior side of the window!
3. Preparation of corners
To ensure that the tape can be applied simply and securely to the window reveal later on, create corner folds as shown here and stick CONTEGA SOLIDO IQ all around the window.
The length of the overlap must be around 1.5 times the width of the gap in order to avoid unnecessary folds.
4. Cut and stick in place
When finished, cut the tape, allowing approx. 5 cm of an overlap. Stick the ends to each other on the frame.
5. Install the window and insulate the joint
Fold in the CONTEGA SOLIDO IQ tape. Depending on requirements, stick EXTOSEAL ENCORS to the wall below the window and to the reveal to create sub-sill flashing. Install the window properly.
Use a suitable fastening system.
Fill in the joint with a suitable approved insulation material, leaving no cavities.
6. Stick onto the reveal and rub into place
Remove the release film strip and stick the tape all around the window.
7. Stick the corners
At the corners of the window, stick the corner folds to the reveal in a manner that is airtight (interior) or resistant to driving rain and watertight (exterior).
8. Rub to secure the adhesive bond
Rub the tape all around the window using the pro clima PRESSFIX application tool to secure the adhesive bond.
9. You’re finished!
The joint – which is either airtight or resistant to driving rain, as applicable – is now complete, and the tape can be plastered over.
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.
6. Rub to secure the adhesive bond
Rub the tape firmly into place on the frame and reveal using the pro clima PRESSFIX application tool.
Tip: The width of the application tool can be adapted as needed.
7. Stick the corners
Apply the tape with an overlap of at least 2 cm in the corner areas. Ensure that there is uninterrupted sealing at the window and at the masonry.
8. Bottom window joint
Cut the PRESSFIX tool as required to facilitate even pressing, and then rub the tape firmly into place on the frame.
9. You’re finished!
The joint – which is either airtight or resistant to driving rain, as applicable – is now complete, and the tape can be plastered over.
Exterior: Add EXTOSEAL ENCORS sub-sill flashing depending on the construction situation.
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 pro clima 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 pro clima PRESSFIX application tool to secure the adhesive bond.
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.
