Installation Support
DIY-friendly: owners and contractors get 1-on-1 factory technical support.
For successful ProSill™ integration, ensure the floor track is recessed according to the detail drawings to maintain a flush transition while ensuring proper drainage. The bottom track must be set level within 1/16 inch across the entire opening to prevent binding of the rollers and to maintain the integrity of the EPDM weatherstripping seals.
During installation, pay close attention to the vertical plumb of the side jambs. Even minor deviations can impact the multi-point locking alignment. We recommend using high-quality flashing membranes around the rough opening before securing the frame to prevent water ingress behind the thermal break system.
