Flanged window flashing

Joe Norm| Posted inGeneral Questionson

If I was using Zip System and their liquid applied flashing, how would I make a bank (or a single) of windows air and water tight.

I understand the liquid gets applied to the opening, window gets installed, but then what is the treatment around the flange to seal it from air and water?

I am sure loads have already been written about this. feel for to join me in the direction of those articles.

Thanks

    The instructions are provided by Huber. Here is the link:Installing a flanged window using Liquid Flash.

    Hi Joe -

    If you have not used the ZIP Stretch tape, you might want to consider this approach; pretty amazing product for sill flashing.
