Installation Instructions for Replacement of Aluminum Windows in Hard Coat Stucco Applications
in arid climates.
These instructions are designed for typical California hard coat stucco exterior applications. The
installation must leave the existing aluminum window frame and weep system in place. These
instructions are not to be used with any other construction method and rely on the integrity of the
existing aluminum window frame and flashing system. Building designs, construction methods,
building materials, and site conditions unique to your project may require an installation method
different from these instructions and additional care. Determining the appropriate installation
method is the responsibility of you, your architect, or construction professional. If you have
questions, please contact your local Pella retailer.
REMEMBER TO USE APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.

Note: The depth of the shim should be equal to the
window frame depth minus 1/2". Cut the shim to this
dimension. Place the exterior edge of the shim flush
with the exterior of the existing window. Improper
placement of shims may result in bowing the bottom
of the window.

INTERIOR SEAL
Caution: Ensure use of low pressure polyurethane window and door insulating foams
and strictly follow the foam manufacturer’s recommendations for application. Use of
high pressure foams or improper application of the foam may cause the window frame
to bow and hinder operation.

Note: It may be necessary to squeeze the end of the
tube with pliers to be able to insert into the space
between the window frame and the rough opening.
DO NOT completely fill the space from the back of the
flange to the interior face of the window.

B. Check window operation by opening and closing the window.
Note: If the window does not operate correctly, check to make sure it is still plumb,
level, square and that the sides are not bowed. If adjustments are required, remove the
foam with a serrated knife. Adjust the shims, and reapply the insulating foam sealant.
