Window Inserts for Double Window Walls
. Before installing, dab caulk in channel
on both sides of window opening. This will prevent water from getting in behind window. Position window
in cavity.
Important:
Pre-drill holes in filler strip at top of window with 1/8” drill bit before fastening window
inserts. Secure with 8 - 1 1/4” screws. .Caulk gap between siding and window at top. This requires a
large amount of caulking but is important to fill. Later, Window Trims will be installed to hide caulking.

flange and siding meet. This
additional caulking will also will
reduce the chances of moisture
entering into your shed.
