Sill Treatment and Jamb Liners
|
These components work together to stabilize any deteriorating fabric in the sill as well as protect it from further degradation. In addition, they work together to create a smooth and flat surface to which the bottom rail can seal when the window is closed. |
Applying the Sill Wrap

Using Flashing to Make a Perfect JointBy laying down some caulk on the sill, then embedding the flashing (thin aluminum bent at 90 degrees) into the caulk, we've created a good joint. By putting more caulk atop the flashing, then embedding the sill wrap into that, we've made a good joint better. Then by caulking and fastening the bottom of the Jamb Liner to the vertical portion of the flashing, we've made the joint impregnable. |
