@ligyro Call it an ad for flexwrap if you will, but it shows the proper way to flash a window.

Excellent video Carl! This is a perfect install and I'm guessing that a lot of people have used this to train their guys in the field. I'm a big believer in the Tyvek Weatherization system and I'm annoyed by how many windows I see getting installed improperly & without sill pan flashing. Nice work buddy. Matt Risinger

I needed this thx

what size flashing is this, 6" or 9"?

[twjonesDDS51]

Thanks. Very informative. Especially like how you raised the flexwrap before placing the flashing at the top, then applied tape in SEGMENTS to allow potential trapped water to run out. I had not been doing either of those two thing.

Now that's what my builders carpenters should have done! Time for me to re-do it correctly. I guess the old saying holds true, "If you want something done right, your going to have to do it yourself!".
