FIELD PREPARATION OF RECESSED WINDOW CORNER USING DUPONT™ FLEXWRAP™
The method illustrated in this installation guideline uses 6” wide FlexWrap™ to fabricate a Recessed Window Corner for a recess that is up to 2” deep with double stud framing. The same method can be used for recesses greater than 2”, and up to 4” deep, which requires the use of 9” FlexWrap™.
This installation guideline also applies to single stud framing which is limited to the use of 6” FlexWrap ™ for fabrication of Recessed Window Corners.
WATER PENETRATION RESISTANCE
- ASTM E331 : No leakage at 300 Pa
- ASTM E331 after thermal aging (0-120°F) : No leakage at 300 Pa
COMPLETE SYSTEM
DuPont™ Flashing Tape is compatible with all DuPont™ Tyvek® air and water barriers and other building envelope products.
TEMPERATURE

DETAIL
-DuPont™ Flashing Tape is a self-adhered flashing tape with improved workability made from polypropylene film with a butyl rubber adhesive backing.Engineered to withstand the rigors of the job site, DuPont™ Flashing Tape helps create a durable seal against water intrusion around heads and jambs of rectangular windows and doors. -In addition to bulk water holdout, DuPont™ Flashing Tape helps control air leakage. Where windows and doors interface with sheathing or the weather barrier, DuPont™ Flashing Tape can help keep heated and cooled air in – and exterior air out – more effectively. -As part of a complete building envelope system, DuPont™ Flashing Tape will help reduce the risk of water damage, increase building comfort, and improve energy efficiency.
