Sloped Window sill flashing tape

#1 Post by muellerm123 »

Please see attached drawing. I shrunk the old window rough in down and am reinstalling a small hopper window in my bathroom. In the attached, should I add flashing tape to the 2x4 rough in sill or the 2x8 sloped sill? Any suggestions on how I am planning on finishing up this window install? Thanks!

Relatively cheap insurance to keep water out of the wall in most cases.

Sloped window sill flashing tape is essential for preventing water infiltration around windows. Its angled design ensures efficient drainage, protecting the building's interior from moisture damage. Easy to install, it enhances the durability and energy efficiency of windows.
