CONTEGA SOLIDO IQ
Installation steps: Window already mounted
1. The window is already mounted
The window joint on an already mounted window is to be sealed with CONTEGA SOLIDO IQ in combination with EXTOSEAL ENCORS on the exterior, or to a suitable substrate, e.g. a smooth plaster finish, on the interior.

2. Create a sub-sill
Use the EXTOSEAL ENCORS sub-sill tape to create a sub-sill as a second waterproof layer. Guide the tape into the corners precisely and also run it to a height of approx. 6-15 cm (2 3/8” - 6”) on the reveals on each side depending on the type of facade used.
Close off any open profile ends and groove ends using a suitable sealant.

3. Cut the CONTEGA SOLIDO IQ tape to length
Add approx. 8 cm (3 1/8”) to the length of each side of the frame and cut this length of tape.

4. Remove the first release film strip
Remove approx. 5-10 cm (2” - 4”) of the narrow release film strip.

5. Start applying tape at the top of the frame
Allowing CONTEGA SOLIDO IQ to extend about 4 cm (1 5/8”) onto the lintel surface from the corner, start applying the narrow adhesive strip of the tape onto the lintel and the reveal. Guide the tape along the vertical window frame as far as the sub-sill for exterior application or as far as a suitable sill surface for interior application. Remove the remaining release film strips and stick the tapes to the reveal, allowing slack to accommodate relative motion between components. Apply tape in an analogous manner to the lintel area and the area under the window. Close off any open groove ends using a suitable sealant.

6. Carry out installation work carefully
Careful taping all around the window with no gaps is a prerequisite for airtightness, windtightness and resistance to driving rain. Rub using the PRESSFIX application tool to secure the adhesive bond.
