Answers: How do you mill up and install window frames with flashing and a rain screen?
- Window frame milling
- Flashing installation
- Rain screen installation
- Miter joint construction
- Siding integration
What it concludes
- Cutting a half inch off the flashing front and pushing it over five eighths of an inch helps create a clean fit.
- Using Wigluv tape allows for a negative lap while still keeping water out.
- Building miter joints with a tight miter rather than a flat miter creates a more durable joint that won't fail easily.
- Gluing wood to painted parts and adding screws provides a secure connection for exterior trim.
- Using more screws is better for warped trim on exterior installations.
