Siliconized acrylic caulk is added to framing. Top is caulked to sheathing, sides are caulked to housewrap, and bottom is left un-caulked

"I've used your system for installing many new windows in my house & was surprised to see the $10 million house I'm working on simply caulked the nail flange to the sheathing on 3 sides & used a rectangular piece of peel&stick only on the very bottom of the opening... The site sup says this is much better because it's impossible for water to get into the window opening this way... I couldn't think of a good argument against this, any ideas?" --Owen, 09/28/09
