As with the Tilt n Turn window, a Fold n Slide or Tilt ‘n Slide Door needs to be
installed into a wood rough opening or an opening lined with a wood buck.
A full sill pan is required for the door as shown. Capture Blocks need to be 
placed under the door for support, and behind the any side that has a hinge, 
for support.
It is equally important to make the opening Plumb, Level, Square and check Planar
condition. Because they are large doors, it becomes more important to check for
Crown, Bow or uneven sill. 
Slow expansion foam sealing tape works well with Door units because it offers
insulation and blocks water intrusion while allowing drainage.
If expansion foam sealing tape is not used, then conventional flashing with a func-
tioning sill pan will work. The bottom line is to prevent water from getting in, allow
the water that condenses to drain out,
and any remaining moisture to dry.
