Sealant

NOTE: Figure 16 shows a window with casing but the flashing detail also applies to any clad window product.

For installation in typical wood frame construction or brick veneer (non−recessed masonry openings), figure 16

shows the proper flashing detail in shingle style fashion. Once the exterior finish such as siding or brick veneer is

installed, a bead of sealant should be applied between the finish and the window/window casing along the sides and

approximately 1−2,

(25−51)

in from the ends at the head jamb (see insert). Use a backer rod when necessary.
