Constructions. 

These instructions were developed and tested for use with typical wood frame wall and concrete 

block constructions in a wall system designed to manage water. Installation details specific to 

replacement of Aluminum Sliding Doors in Hard Coat Stucco applications can be found at the end 

of this instruction. These instructions are not to be used with any other construction method. 

Installation instructions for use with other construction methods or multiple units may be obtained 

from Pella Corporation or local Pella retailer. Building designs, construction methods, building

responsibility of you, your architect, or construction professional.

to each project. The determination of the suitability of all building components for each project, 

as well as the design and installation of flashing and sealing systems, are the responsibility of the 

building owner, architect, contractor, installer and/or consumer
