Modern Siding on Abandoned House. INCREDIBLE TRANSFORMATION! (EP.11)
What happens here
To ensure proper waterproofing around windows and doors, apply flashing tape. First, apply a continuous strip of flashing tape to the bottom sill of the window/door frame, ensuring it overlaps the house wrap below. Then, apply vertical strips of flashing tape to the side jambs, overlapping the horizontal sill tape. Finally, apply a horizontal strip of flashing tape to the top header, overlapping the vertical side strips. This layering technique allows any water that gets behind the siding to drain downwards and outwards, preventing moisture intrusion. Ensure all tape is pressed firmly to prevent gaps.
Goal: Seal window and door openings to prevent water intrusion.
