Could you explain how the drip edge flashing is installed/ works exactly? is it weld in just the top of the frame before installing the frame or after. Does a bent up metal flat piece go inside the container from the outside like a Z? Is it just sealant that stops the water from the top edge going inside for the top edge?
Great video! Thanks for adding. My only concern would be if you ever had to swap the windows out. Assuming your framing is going to butt up with the vinyl trim of the window, you'd have to take the framing out to get to the nailing flange. Am I wrong? Maybe not to worry about if the life of the windows can last the life of a shipping container house
@@colinsills2905 Hi! That’s a great question. It is true they removing the window will be more difficult. It is still possible to have them removed. It would require the use of a multi-tool or sawzaw to cut the perimeter flange off. This would be a more difficult process! However, given the advantages of water protection we feel it’s worth it. Thankfully, windows last a long time so this may only need to be done 25+ years after you’ve built your home.
@@alternativelivingspaces Fair enough, the benefits would outweigh the extra work. Again, appreciate the video. I think this is the best way to install a window I've seen yet. Cheers!
