Footnote 1

Air leakage rate measured at 75 Pa.

Return to footnote 1 referrer

Footnote 2

"FlashSealR® Foam Flashing Tape" was installed in accordance to the manufacturer's instructions, with the following modifications: corner pieces of 75 mm wide were used at the base of the corner sill and a metal head flashing was extended 50 mm beyond the rough opening of the window.

Return to footnote 2 referrer

Footnote 3

The benchmark flashing is based on the installation requirements of the NBC 2015 and CAN/CSA-A440.4-07 (R2012), "Window, Door, and Skylight Installation." A breather-type sheathing membrane was wrapped around the header, with a second piece of breather-type sheathing membrane covering the rough opening. The membrane was cut using the "I-cut" method. The window sill was covered with an impermeable adhesive flashing that continued up the sides of the rough opening for a distance of 200 mm.

Footnote 4

The flanged window was fastened using cap-nail fasteners through the nailing fins located on top of the "Foamular®" XPS insulation and into the studs.

Footnote 5

The boxed window was installed using clips and fasteners through the shims into the sides of the stud frame.
