What happens here

Apply flashing tape to the vertical sides of the window, starting from the bottom and working upwards. The tape should adhere to the house wrap, the OSB sheathing, and the vinyl window flange. To ensure a comprehensive seal that prevents air and water penetration behind the window, the house wrap around the window's sides should be cut back, allowing the side flashing tape to adhere directly to the OSB and the window flange.

Goal: Seal the vertical sides of the window opening from bottom to top.

Tools and materials

  • Flashing Tape Vycor Plus — Sealing the vertical sides of the window
  • Utility Knife N/A — Cutting back the house wrap
  • Water Sprayer N/A — Demonstrating water penetration

What they say

Hide

flat-headed fastener. When you adhere your tape, it only sticks to the house wrap and the vinyl on the window. This can allow more air and water penetration into the window. If the house wrap gets cut back, this gives you a seal on the house wrap, the OSB, and the window. This prevents more air and water from sneaking behind this window. Now, cut two pieces that go from the top cut and extend down well past the bottom of the window. This will cover your flange and extend below your window. Now, install your top piece
