barrier product is installed. The new
construction window is then installed
with the nailing fin creating a water
tight seal. New Tyvek house wrap
is installed overlapping the nailing fin
around the perimeter of the opening.
The existing exterior building compo-
nent is then re installed.
To protect against this situation, the
association through their Buildings
& Grounds Committee and/or
Architectural Control Committee
should consider the following:
1) Creating a resolution to define
the type – “New Construction
Windows” the scope of work and
the specification means and meth-
od for window installation.
2) Consider having a third party entity
work on behalf of the association
to inspect the window installation
to ensure scope and specification
compliance that was defined in the
resolution
3) Consider having a set of approved
contractors that the owners can call
to install the windows within the
association.
Before the association implements
any resolution of policy, it should first
be approved by legal counsel. To
the extent possible, parameters and
guidelines should be implemented to
ensure proper installation and the pro-
tection of the building components.
Remember, a $99.00 cost for a
replacement windows is not always a
good idea.n
