#WINDOW INSTALL ON T1 11 SIDING WINDOWS#

Would it be best to install windows first then cut the siding around them later or just install the siding and cut to fit the window opening then slap the windows over the top? Or some other way? I would love to just get the siding up then worry about the windows later but don't know if that's just asking for trouble leakwise.

I am going to be using T1-11 siding directly over the studs, no sheathing. I'm looking for opinions on when to install my windows. I'm working on a cabin (pics will follow when I get them). Small Cabin Forum / Cabin Construction / Question on when to install windows

caulking will crack down the road and unless you have a two foot overhang you are asking for trouble.- Forums - Register/Sign Up - Reply - Search - Statistics. this is your only sure fix against a leak. make sure the bent edge is out past the trim. buy this accordingly to whether you are using 2x2 or 1x4 trim.

if you do this then fir out what you need on top of the new flange to become flush with the t-one-eleven. you might fur out the difference to the studs to make the new flange work while saving a ton of work and materials to not re-trim the inside. if your leaving the old interior trim in then see how the new window works and where the new flange is once the window is pushed tight to the old 1x4 jamb. you don't want to cut the old window t-one-eleven out and remove the old windows just to find out you need to cut more to get the new ones in.

the new window flange needs to be considered too. as suggested i would cut the area around the old flanges off about three eights of an inch wider than needed. if not, the new window flange may not fit tight on the stud. if you are planning on doing new trim inside then you are ok. are the old windows wood? metal? what i'm saying is if the new vinyl windows interior depth from the flange is greater or less than the old windows then your flanges will not fit correctly to be nailed. Maybe just run a bead of caulk under the top and sides of the window flange, on top of the existing felt, and then install the trim on top of that?Įven though we're planning on selling next year, I don't want to do a half-assed job on this.Īre you planning on replacing all interior jambs and casing? if not then one of your most important things to consider is the depth of the new window compared to the old. Maybe just remove the whole t1-11 panel, install the window, and reinstall the t1-11? Still have the issue of what does the window flashing stick to if there is no sheathing. Is there a better way? Maybe installing the nail flange over the t1-11? I can't envision a way to properly flash that. Also, the edge of the t1-11 panel would no longer be supported, as it would have been cut back away from the stud. My concern with that approch is how can you properly flash the window? If the nail flange covers the stud, the flashing tape would just have to be stuck to the unsupported felt adjacent to it. Some people have said to cut back the t1-11 enough to expose the nail fin on the old windows, take them out, install the new ones, flash with tape, and install new trim over the window flange. I have read as much as I can on the proper way to install and flash windows, and I was comfortable with my previous plan to install them over the t1-11 and new felt, prior to installing hardiplank, but nothing seems to apply to my situation of installing flanged windows into existing t1-11 that has no sheathing underneath. These are vinyl replacement windows with integral nailing flanges, and my plan is to install them in a 'new construction' fashion. With that in mind, I still need to install the replacement windows that I had made for the house, and that are currently filling up my workshop.

His advice was to patch the t1-11 anywhere it looked bad, replace the trim, and paint it. Our neighborhood is a mix of t1-11 and lap-sided houses, and he said neither one really brings a premium. he said the return just wouldn't be there. I have a friend who's a realtor, and he recommended against putting hardiplank on right before selling. It looks like our longer term plans have been condensed substantially, and our plan now is to get the house into shape so we can put it on the market in the spring. Well, as much as I tried to plan every last detail of my upcoming hardiplank over t1-11 install, you can never plan for the curveballs that life throws at you.
