New construction windows come complete with new frames and a nailing flange. These features, which are unique to new construction windows, allow the window to be fully-integrated into the building envelope system using proper flashing materials and techniques
Installing new construction windows during your siding replacement project is the best way to assure quality and cost-savings. Here’s why:
The siding has already been stripped, which makes it possible to identify and repair any water
damage caused by failed window frames and flashing details. This step is essential to preventing future water damage.
New construction windows are fully-integrated with adjacent framing, siding, and trim. Waterproof barriers, house wrap, flashing materials, and sealants are applied in a specified sequence for the highest- quality weatherproofing.
Replacing the windows and siding at the same time is cost-efficient because the crews are already onsite. Replacing the same window after the siding project is done can easily cost 30% more.
