There were VERY good threads about flashing new construction vinyl windows,specially the guy(wish I hadnt forgotten his name) of the guy that did the special metal flashing
he had a whole series of pics to go with.
I cant seem to find the proper steps for wrapping tyvek,flashing openings with peel and stick rubber flashing??
Do I still need metal flashing then??
I watch the shows on TV and see them wrap openings first with p and s and then tyvek,then place window and more p and s butyl rubber
So when siding is placed over you dont nail within this 8" of the window so it compromises the butyl p and s??
Anybody remember the guys name or can find the thread he posted it in?? Hopefully i can follow them. I didnt understand it 100% the first time I read it. guess I am too mentally challenged.
BUT channeling the water away from windows makes great sense
Anybody wanna take a stab to educate me quick before i screw it up??
I realize wrap from bottom up,shingle style.
bottom of sill gets tyvek,then butyl peel and stick then silicones window then more butyl, then head UP on sides OVER nail fins??Tyvek inside or outside nail fins on sides??
Top--- seems like window siliconed,,,,tyvek OVER nail fins,,, butyl rubber over fins also. anything UNDER all of it??
IF metal flashing is used instead,,, it is siliconed on(the edge of the windows)??and NO nails in it to dimple and make water run inside it??
AND how do you get the water to transfer out from the metal flashing to the outside of the siding??Doesnt the vinyl siding have to snap on the hold down part of the siding??
This is ALL SOOOOOOO complicated!! I NEED to learn to do this right the first time.(saw those pics of water running down the bare wood,,,,NOT good)thx-d-
