Installation steps: 4. Masonry/concrete structures
Schematic diagram
CONTEGA EXO has already been stuck to the side of the window frame – for example, by the window installation technician.
1. Remove the inner release film
Remove the release film from the non-printed side of the membrane and place the tape onto the adhesive. Note: ORCON F will not stick to the release film. Do not press the adhesive completely flat so as to allow for relative motion between components.
2. Apply adhesive to surface
Apply an approx. 5 mm (3/16") thick line (more in the case of very rough subsurfaces, if necessary) of ORCON F joint adhesive to the reveal in a compact zig-zag pattern.
3. Preparation of corners
Fold the tape in the corner area. Remove the release film in the corner area and stick the tapes to one another. Ensure that there is uninterrupted windtightness at the joint between the tapes.
4. Place the tape onto the adhesive
Place the tape onto the adhesive.
5. Stick the ends
Apply an approx. 5 mm (3/16") thick line of ORCON F joint adhesive between the overlapping ends of the tape. Place the tape onto the adhesive. Do not press the adhesive completely flat so as to allow for relative motion between components.
6. Stick the corners
Stick the folded corners together using ORCON F. The tape can then be plastered over more easily later on.
7. You’re finished!
You now have a finished joint that is open to diffusion, resistant to driving rain and windtight! The tape can now be plastered over.
