We’re installing the windows in our new house- let me show you how it’s done.
First, I use flex tape to make a waterproof pan at the bottom of the opening.
Next, I cut and fold up a section of house wrap at the top.
Then I run a bead of silicone around the perimeter.
These windows come with a nailing flange that needs to be folded out at a 90-degree angle.
I put shims underneath so I can adjust the window if it’s not sitting level.
Once I check that the bottom is level- I fasten it with screws.
I make sure the sides are plumb and then screw everything in place.
I like to use screws because there’s less chance of damaging the window with a hammer.
These flanges leave a small hole in the corners, so I cover it with a piece of metal.
I put the metal behind the flange at the bottom and in front of the flange at the top; then I hit it with some sealant.
Next, I install flashing tape on the right and left side and then a piece across the top.
Finally, I pull down the house wrap and seal it off with house wrap tape.

Narrator: “And finally, I made sure I bought an expensive, high quality window rather than those worthless contractor grade windows.”
You dont cault the inner flange? Here in oregon you tape the wall, caulk inner flange then re tape outside of the window.. i like to use screws too
Nice garden shed😂😂😂😂😂
Wow American houses really are made of nothing but wood and glue 😂
A little bit of tape, and some plastic wrap, and voila you're house is done, for only $ 500.000
Where is the new guy
Wish those people did this for all new construction.
That's not a house, that's a schack made of cheap sticks and cardboard.
Thanks men of God
OSI would be better than silicone imo
Wow everything about this wrong.
Give me a real brick house!
So, it's a fancy shed.. Basically
I am always amazed by house construction in the USA
Love the work and the new guy
