I do it a little different idk I was looking for other ways! Lol...the tab you cut off I leave I bend that down first then the bigger side! Slide it on top the window mark the other side bend both flaps starting with the front one and folding the bigger one over then calk where it goes and nail her off then I put another piece of window tape over it without staples and continue siding!
When installed with wood siding I thought the back flashing was supposed to be under the siding. You're showing this on top of the siding or whatever that house has on the exterior, no? What to do with siding when installing a drip cap over windows and doors?
Yes, it goes behind the siding. Here is my video showing it going behind the vinyl siding. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nO1K5FN6_Ic.html
I would, and actually anchor it in place by smearing some thinly over the back plate part of it...then seal the top edge with silicon calk too. From a painting contractor.
And caulk the underside of it before installing? Cuz we get rain that comes at us sideways and I'm trying to make sure my window is sealed up the right way.
@@rlolo777 yeah even tho his directions were fairly good, is like his installation is only for looks whereas the rest of us are actually trying to keep water out lol.
A bunch of these other videos were talking about making end dams and yesterday and today I was on a crew that did it the way you are doing it instead - wonder what the trade off is?
Im so confused about the construction/design of a window.. I dont understand why there would be a need for a drip cap if your window sits inside of the wall... My windows dont stick out of the wall like this? Nobody's does. It sits well with in the siding of the house.. I wish someone could explain to me what I am getting wrong.
"Not on the exterior"? Huh? Then Why a Drip Cap? your silly [window could be n your shower] =\ Sticking in or out, The Wind Blows water on window - Think where it goes from there. = Flooded Room - i know.
This is installed prior to siding. Siding is installed on the wall, covering the vertical portion of the flashing. Prevents water getting behind window trim.
@@jakeharper6557 we already have trim installed OVER our siding and we need to install one of these edges over the trim, right? Water is coming in from under the trim because it it outboard of our siding. 🤦🏻♀️
This video needs to be removed- this method does not meet current building codes. If someone does this the inspector will fail it and it is a lot of work to go back and correct!
