Does anyone have some details on flashing for an operable Octagon window, we are replacing the old lap siding.
I am in Zone 3 warm humid.
Updated Wall assembly from inside to out:
1/2″ sheetrock, R23 fiberglass insulation in 2×6 studs at 24″ on center, 7/16″ Zip sheathing w zip taped, 1″ polyiso, 1×4 rain screen, Lap cement siding.
What are the head flashing details, I will use Zip stretch tap and flashing tape for rough opening & 5 degree sill for drainage.
