Installation steps

Installation steps: Pre-installation before window mounting

1. Window to be mounted into a timber, masonry or timber structure

CONTEGA SOLIDO IQ-X is to be pre-installed before the window is mounted.
The frame is laid out flat with the interior side of the frame facing up.

The open ends of the window profile have been filled and the filling/sealing profiles have been attached.

Installation steps: Pre-installation before window mounting

2. Start applying tape at the top of the frame

Position the narrow, exposed strip of tape on the side of the frame flush with the frame edge and then gradually stick it in place.

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

Create corner folds as shown here to make it easier to create a reliable seal to the window reveal at the corners later on.

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. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for the opposite (exterior) side of the window, as required.

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-X tape so that it is not in the way, and then mount the window

using 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 remaining release films and gradually stick the tape to the reveal all around the window frame, allowing slack to accommodate relative motion between components.
Ensure that there is uninterrupted airtightness/windtightness when applying the tape.

Rub using the PRESSFIX application tool to secure the adhesive bond.

7. Sealing the window joint on the opposite side

CONTEGA SOLIDO IQ-X 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.

General conditions

Taped joints must not be subjected to tensile forces. Rub the adhesive tapes firmly to secure the adhesive bonds. Ensure that there is sufficient resistance pressure. Joints that are windtight, airtight or resistant to driving rain can only be achieved if the sealing tape is installed free of folds and breaks. Ventilate continuously and systematically to prevent the 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.
