GreenGuard® Flashing Installation Guide
General Information
Installation of GreenGuard® Flashing shall be in
accordance with applicable building codes and this
Installation Guide. The Installation Guide shall be
available at the jobsite during installation.
GreenGuard® Flashing is intended to provide protection
against air and moisture intrusion by sealing around
window/door openings, pipe penetrations, electrical
and mounting box penetrations, fastener/wall tie
penetrations. GreenGuard® Flashing can be used with
most common building materials to seal the interface
between the GreenGuard® Flashing and wall sheathing
(plywood, OSB, extruded polystyrene insulation board),
water-resistive barriers (building wraps/housewraps),
concrete, CMU, lumber, PVC (vinyl), berglass and metal.
Damaged substrates or materials shall be replaced
prior to installation of the GreenGuard® Flashing.
Safety Precautions
• Review this Installation Guide prior to
beginning installation. Refer to the Material
Safety Data Sheet for additional information.
Go to www.TrustGreenGuard.com for the most current
product information.
• GreenGuard® Flashing is not compatible with coal tar,
polysulde sealants or plasticized PVC membranes.
Preparation
• All surfaces to be bonded shall be dry, free from dust,
dirt, loose debris and obstructions.
• GreenGuard® Flashings are not intended to be
used in areas intended for permanent exposure
after construction is completed or on areas that will
experience exposure to temperatures in excess of
150°F.
• At the time of installation, the ambient air temperature
shall be above 25°F. For applications at temperatures
below 40°F, store GreenGuard® Flashing in heated
area until use over surfaces prepared with one of the
contact adhesives shown in the chart below. Contact
adhesives improve adhesion to porous substrates
such as CMU, exterior gypsum sheathing, and OSB at
lower temperatures.
• Apply contact adhesives in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions, using a continuous
coating with no puddles. Surfaces are typically ready
for bonding when tacky and adhesive does not
transfer when touched.
• CAUTION: Like most commercially available ashing
membranes, GreenGuard® Flashings are combustible
and may ignite if exposed to re of sufcient heat
and intensity. Protect GreenGuard® Flashing from
exposure to open ame or other ignition sources (such
as sparks or welding) during shipping, storage and
installation.

GreenGuard® Flashing Installation Guide
Installation – General
A. Unroll the GreenGuard® Flashing and cut pieces using
a common utility knife. Be sure to cut pieces to allow
for a minimum of 4 inches of overlap of intersecting
ashing pieces.
B. Begin by peeling back the release paper and pressing
the ashing rmly to the substrate, ensuring that there
are no wrinkles or bubbles. Continue to press and
smooth out the ashing, working along the sealed
area to ensure adequate bonding.
C. If additional pieces are necessary to span a wide
area, several courses can be installed by overlapping
each course a minimum of 2 inches.
D. On wall applications, the edge of the ashing must
be kept at least ½ inch from the nished exterior and
must not come into contact with any visible sealants.
