Example Replacement Procedure: Single Hinged Door - Stucco Clad Wall
Remove existing interior trim, exterior trim and door. Prepare the rough opening as needed.
Install foil-faced self-adhered membrane on all four sides of the opening covering the rough opening framing, exterior sheathing and sheathing membrane, if present. The membrane placed on the sill should extend over existing waterproof deck membrane or cladding. Install all membranes in a "shingle lapped" fashion, and ensure all four corners are air- and water-tight by using prefabricated corner pieces or membrane gussets. Place sealant beads where the self-adhered membrane meets the stucco cladding on either side of the door.
Install the door. A metal drip edge flashing should be placed between the door sill and the shims to allow for incidental water to drain onto the deck membrane/cladding.
Install backer rod and a continuous bead of sealant between the interior edges of the door and the self-adhered membrane. This provides air and water tightness.
Fur out the exterior trim with intermittent shims to allow incidental water to drain out.
A metal drip edge flashing should be installed to protect the edge of the head trim and sealed to the stucco cladding.
Seal the exterior face of the door box frame to the inside of the trim, with intermittent weep holes at the head to allow drainage.
Place backer rod and sealant between the vertical window trim and the stucco cladding.
