New construction – builder installed Marvin windows w/o flashing the sill, although Marvin calls for it. Is this acceptable?

即使它延迟安装，我坚持使用“我的建筑商”闪光灯即使是延迟安装。我们社区中的大多数建筑商只是卷起法兰，继续有快乐的方式。我认为这是一个错误，但毫无疑问，胶带足以让建设者通过他们的一年保修期。
谢谢史蒂文 - 这就是我的感受......加上Marvin保修来电......谢谢！
伊丽莎白，
所有建筑码都需要根据制造商的说明安装材料。未能遵循建筑代码是非法的。您不义务支付承包商违反守则或未能遵循制造商的指示的工作。
计划呼吁的是什么？您的合同是否呼叫以下所有制造安装说明？
你想要做什么应该以书面形式倒下。
Did you do your do diligence and go check a project being built by your builder?
转到Builder解释您的需求，并为您的合同添加增值符，并为增加工作的新成本添加，这可能是您可能需要一个新的构建器。
我有一个感觉更多的问题即将到来.....下次得到建造者建立你想要的东西。获得更详细的计划和工作范围。确保他们告诉你，他们没有打扰你的窗户而不是你告诉他们。费用将更高。
马丁谢谢。我住在VT是有一个网站的建筑
代码？
伊丽莎白，
根据2009年国际住宅守则的第R612.1节，“窗户和门应按照FeneStration制造商的书面安装说明安装和闪烁。”
Most residential construction in Vermont is (unfortunately) not governed by any building codes. Nevertheless, if there is ever a construction dispute that is worth bringing to court, it's reasonable to assume that professional builders who charge money for their work should follow the expected practices of their chosen profession. That means that they shouldn't engage in practices that are illegal in most states.
I don't think that "flashing" adequately describes what should be done at a rough window sill--I like the term "panning" a lot more. In most situations, we use a piece of cedar bevel siding nailed to the sill to create slope, then layer the sill and wall with self-adhesive flashings, using Dupont FlexWrap on the sill. After the window goes in, we seal it to the rough opening with either backer rod or canned foam. Backer rod is easy to use on window installs because you have consistent width gaps to fill. In some cases I have sheet metal pans made, soldered at the seams and with built-in back dam and side dams.
伊丽莎白，I don't know what type of windows you have, but we mostly install wood/clad units. These have corner joints that rely on sealant. In rare cases there will be a joint that leaks on day 1, as soon as the first rain hits it. If you do not have a sloped sill with a membrane or pan, your framing gets wet. I think vinyl units are slightly less worrisome because the corners are "welded", but there is certainly a chance those welds will open over time.
无论如何，我认为没有窗台的窗户是一个严重的错误。当发生泄漏时，它可以保持剪影后面的褶皱，作为框架，护套，干墙和绝缘逐渐弄湿。最终主人意识到问题，一旦它足够大。我的一部分是我的业务正在修复这样的问题，并且在我接到电话时，有很大的伤害可以修复很多，因为几分钟而且几美元没有投入平底锅。
我应该说一个窗台平底锅创造另一个潜在的隐藏状况。我安装的窗口可以开始泄露，我永远不会知道它。如果水滴通过并达到窗台平底锅，它将落到外面。一个窗户可以坐在那里泄漏和腐烂很长一段时间...但至少结构不会弄湿。
潘远......但是有点现实...在我的地区，我从未见过一个使用平移的窗口。99.9％是Nailfin钉在一起并录制到家庭包衣。有些现在使用特殊的窗户材料。没有平底锅没有倾斜的雪松....好的想法....这里围绕窗框区域没有腐烂。
坏好差好,上衣+每part and assembly in home building.
I shoot for A and settle for plus or minus.
Martin, it's wrong to ask a contractor for A level workmanship after a contract is signed for less than such. What is in the contract does indeed matter to me at least.
你想要平底锅，规格和平底锅支付。
She should withhold payment until windows are installed per manufacturer's instructions, unless she signed a contract that calls for less. I'd like the to see the written scope of work and the plans.
