Z Flashing For T1 11 Siding
What's the best way to install a new construction window in T-111 siding? If
you just place the window against the siding you have all the grooves leading
underneath the window flange on the top and bottom. I don't like the idea of
just a caulk to seal things well, although maybe that is the practice.
I was thinking of trimming the rough opening with a 1 x 4. The T-111 would butt
against this and the window would seal against the face of the 1 x 4. It still
leaves you with lots of butt joints to caulk around the 1 x 4, but at least no
grooves leading underneath anything.
