INTEGRATING THE WINDOW TO THE WATER RESISTIVE

bARRIER (continued)

C. Fold down top flap of water resistive barrier (3C).

D. Apply flashing tape to diagonal cuts. Cut pieces of

flashing tape at least 1" longer than the diagonal cuts in the

water resistive barrier. Apply the tape covering the entire

diagonal cut in the water resistive barrier at both upper

corners of the window.
Note: Be sure to overlap the top corners (3D).

Curve Top and Angle Top Units Only:

A. Units that do not have pre-applied fin corners:

Cut four pieces of flashing tape 1-1/2" long. Apply

one piece of flashing tape to each end of the sill fin

so that it extends 1-1/2" past the end of the sill fin.

Apply one piece of flashing tape to the bottom end

of each flexible fin, beginning 1-1/2" from the end

of the fin and lapping over the flashing tape that

extends from the end of the sill fin.

B. For Curve Top Windows: Several pieces of flashing tape will

be needed to cover the top fin. Start taping from the sides

of the window working toward the peak. To determine the

length of cuts, hold the tape along the radius, and cut the

tape just past where it leaves the top

fixed extruded fin or for the flexible

fin, just past the flexible weather

strip. The top tape must overlap the

one beneath it in order to divert

water properly. The sharper the arc

of the window, the shorter the pieces

of tape will be.

C. Apply top flashing tape to an angle top

window 1/2" up onto the frame cladding,

over the top fin onto the sheathing. On

the short side of a trapezoid window, do not

allow the side flashing tape to extend higher

than what the top tape will cover. Fold the

overlapping tape down, and press all tape

down firmly.
