The revised 3rd printing 2016 guidebook (www.flashingdetails.com) follows the 1995 edition which formed the basis and reused many illustrations for the development of the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM International) Standard in 2004 (and revised 2007, 2012, 2019), "ASTM E 2112 - Standard Practice for Installation of Exterior Windows, Doors and Skylights". Most window, door, weather barrier and flashing manufacturers follow the installation or the step-by-step format of instructions as E2112.
Nail-On Windows recognized that framed residential and light commercial buildings with weather exposed exterior walls drain by a surface barrier or by a concealed drainage medium underneath the wall cladding. The guide illustrates that window and sliding glass door openings can be flashed with the same techniques regardless of the exterior wall cladding types. This Nail-On Windows reference relies on many line drawing details and 3d sequence illustrations including the original 1995 CAWM 400-95 Standard.
