Also, seal the gaps around the window - between it and the frame to prevent air ingress (e.g. with foam rod, low expansion foam, bits of batts, newspaper...)
How do I weatherproof a windows in a brick veneer house basically I know how to change windows but I need to know how to further seal it from the elements may be felt and house wrap around the frame or tape and give it a nice finish with trims beads . The Windows are Upvc material.
Thanks

Thanks Joynz I must say overseas are more advanced especially Canada and Europe there they know how to seal a window.Originally Posted by joynz
Can you give some examples?
yeah check out Risinger videos on youtube about weatherproofing windows
Here he shows the use of foam rod pushed into the gap and caulking over.

Thanks mate
Did exactly that last year with great results with the foam though it is good to see the introduction of flexible tubing around the window.
What material would it be looks like flexible updm.
Bunnings seems to have something similar from 6mm to 15mm called cap rod made out of type of rubber in hardware store section
