Best Practice Installation
All overlaps must be a minimum of 3" (8 cm) on vertical and horizontal seams. Inside and outside vertical corner overlaps should be a minimum 6" (15 cm) in both directions, staggered a minimum of 24" (61 cm), and should not occur directly above or below windows or doors. Use a roller to activate pressure-sensitive adhesive.
