JOB SITE PREPARATION REMINDERS
- The attachment Channel may need to be counter flashed to the house wall for a water tight seal.
- If attachment is made to the facia of the house, make sure that the back side of the fascia and existing eaves do not leak. This can be seen by looking for water stains on the bottom of the eaves and back of the facia.
- Add a gutter to the existing house if possible to reduce the amount of water on added room.
WOOD FOUNDATIONS OR DECKS
When securing Bottom tracts to an existing deck or wood foundation, make sure the counter flashing goes under the entire Bottom Track and overlaps down on to the outside of the deck. There are no sealants that will bond aluminum to wood, so make sure the flashing is sealed to the bottom of the Bottom Track with Silicone.

When the materials have been delivered to the job site, the first step is to lay out all like materials together.This is done to inventory all the material for the installation and to be able to select only the material needed for each step. The layout sheet and the cut list will help in the inventory process.
