Personally, I would add a bead of sealant between the window frame and the wood sill, to push the metal into. This will look nice for now, but wind-driven rail will get behind that metal and rot the exterior wood sill out. I have replaced many sills due to no sealant at that point. Also, I fold the metal down parallel to the sheathing, underneath the sill, so that you can kick water out on top of the siding, in the event that water is driven into that area. On the end folds, I fold the underside up instead of cutting it off, as that is another vulnerable area.

I have been looking for a video showing this for months. Thank you

This was an great video. Clear. Concise. Good audio level as well. Thank you!

Thank so much; stumbling on this video saved me $$$ I hunted high and low trying to find a contractor who would install my retrofit window and coil wrap it at a reasonable price. Thanks to these guys I was able find some regular contractor to install my window and install the trim with the custom trim.

I wouldn’t cut off the bottom on the ends. Fold it up, fold back the front, and fold down the top. Otherwise, you have a crack where water can get into on the bottom corners of the sill.

Thank you! This is so much better than what I was going to do to my wooden sills...

a 13 years old video and still rocking.

Very concise and clear video. Thank you

very nice, great job very simple and to the point

Hey thanks excellent video

Good video, simple and to the point.

I agree fully. Hand-bent returns are the way to go.

Thank you for the video

Thanks for the video. Very well done and informative.

So? No caulking the top of the sill where it meets the window? Wouldn't the water get under the aluminum?

Nice vid👍

Do you suggest caulking? I understand caulking underneath does not make sense because rain flows down not up and condensation can escape from the bottom but what about the top edges of the aluminum trim?

Very helpful video thank you!

Where to buy the material with the right shape? Or I should try to get a brake to fold by myself?

Thank you!

i had new siding put on my house and they did not put any flashing on top of my window only the plastic paper with that silk tape next to my windows 🙈🙈🙈🙈

I wouldn't cut so much! I can just cut 1/4 of n inch or tops 3/8 ,slide it in there and seal it up I dont wanna weaken anything but good trim tho

great tutorial....

Should the aluminum not fit UNDER the storm window?

Can you paint the flashing? Does it come in colors?

Is that caping?

i am looking for an internal window sill the wall is brick painted inside and the window has no thingy round it i wanted to make a nice sill to put things on a make it look better it in a laundry so im not too worry about being fancy how would i attach it to the brick and concrete

Is this inside or outside?

What if the sill is multi-level? What I mean is, the sill has what appears the blind stop goes along the sill as well. Should the blind stop on the sill be cut out, or should the aluminum be bent to follow the profile?

@mikesandytoes damn right the level of sarcasm was high...who the hell would put screens on the inside. i prefer drugs over manly hugs. but hey, thats just me.

If I have a slight bit of rot on a few of my window sills can I just cover it, paint and caulk?

Nice tool belt looks like same tool belt setup my hillbilly worker uses

Why not pvc

Why wud you need to sheath the sill of a window? Isn't the stock sill adequate? You could just as easy prime/paint the wood sill.

exterior or interior?

@mikesandytoes i dunno about you, but my screens are on the inside ;)

Hand bent meaning hand bent with TONGS. Not tongues.

rot spreads like wildfire. If you want to do it only once cut out the rot and replace

if yor gonna post a vid like this you should be explaining what a brick mold is etc etc etc

jake leg...

if they know all construction terms maybe they dont need this fucking video

Absolutely Not!!! Or ur house is going to collapse!
