NEW CONSTRUCTION • WINDOWS & DOORS
THE DETAILS YOU DON'T SEE
MATTER.
New-construction window and door installations documented from rough-opening preparation through setting, sealing, flashing and weather-barrier integration.
THE PROJECT
OPENINGS PREPARED FOR LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE.
Good window and door installation starts before the unit goes into the wall. This project documents the preparation and water-management details around multiple new-construction exterior openings.
PROJECT SCOPE
- New-construction window installation
- Exterior entry door installation
- Sliding patio door installation
- Opening and sill preparation
- Flashing, sealing & WRB integration
OPENING PREPARATION
THE INSTALLATION STARTS BEFORE THE UNIT ARRIVES.
Prepared sills, sealed corners and integration with the weather-resistive barrier help manage water at vulnerable exterior openings before the finished materials cover the work.
NEW CONSTRUCTION WINDOW
SET, SEALED & INTEGRATED.
The installed window is incorporated into the surrounding weather barrier and flashing system before exterior finishes conceal the installation details.
ENTRY DOOR
FROM OPENING PREP TO A SET EXTERIOR DOOR.
The entry-door installation documents the setting process and exterior weather-management work surrounding the new unit.
SLIDING PATIO DOOR
A LARGE OPENING DESERVES THE SAME ATTENTION TO DETAIL.
The patio-door opening received preparation and sealing before the unit was set, followed by integration with the surrounding weather barrier.
WHY THE DETAILS MATTER
WHAT GETS COVERED UP STILL COUNTS.
Once siding, trim and interior finishes are installed, much of an opening's water-management work disappears from view. Documenting these steps shows the preparation behind the finished installation.
Do it once. Do it right.Proper opening preparation, sealing, flashing and weather-barrier integration are treated as part of the installation—not as afterthoughts.
