COMPONENT MAINTENANCE AVOID
Exterior Sealants
All sealants used in construc-
tion can deteriorate from U.V.
exposure, air pollution, freez-
ing temperatures and other
exposure to weather elements.
Tape sealants used around
doors, sidewall mounted fix-
tures and extrusions are sub-
ject to dry-out conditions by
sunlight and will allow water
seepage when they deterio-
rate.
Inspect at least two times each
year and look for dried-out,
cracking or peeling condi-
tions. Reseal as necessary or
at least one time each year.
Contact your dealer for the
appropriate sealant to use.
Using poor quality sealing
material.
