Aluminum wrap / capping?

#1 Post by pokeysmom1024 »

Should aluminum wrap / capping be caulked to siding? If so, should just the top and sides be caulked to allow for any possible water to run out? What about the joints? We recently had vinyl windows put in with the brickmold aluminum wrapped. We love the windows and are happy with the installation but are concerned about the wrap job. It looks OK for the most part except for the edge along the siding. The aluminum wrap isn't tight to the wood and is move easily in some areas, it is only attached by a few nails and caulked where the aluminum meets the window.
