Sealing window joints

To minimise heat losses in window connections, the joints between the window frame and wall must be sealed with a construction foam. For window installation, it is important to choose a PU foam that has an elastic structure and is therefore able to move with the building’s deformations and has excellent thermal- and sound-insulation values. Before applying the PU foam, the window must be mechanically fixed and supported according to the window manufacturer’s instructions. When applying the PU foam, the surfaces must be pre-moistened to ensure a uniform foam structure.
