What winter does to window installation around Lincoln Park
This is higher and colder than the river towns, so snow sits longer and the freeze-thaw cycle is harder. Water that gets behind a window frame or under siding and then freezes does more damage up here than it would lower down.
- Sills and flashing detailed so meltwater runs out of the wall, not into it
- Weather barrier lapped correctly behind the siding, so nothing tracks in at the seams
- Materials rated for the freeze-thaw cycle at this elevation
- Winter work scheduled with real weather margin rather than optimism
