What type? Vinyl? Wood? Clad? Don't know Champion....But I do know Anderson and IMO...one of the best. Not the all vinyl...they were pretty crappy even before Anderson bought the company that makes them. Marvin also gets good comments. Pella...not so much

Is there a way to bend metal z flashing a little bit without messing it up?

T

tonic on Jan 17, 2014

I am finally going to install some metal z flashing above my window. I need to bend the upper part of the z flashing so that instead of a 90 degree bend it has maybe a 60 degree bend to better fit the contour of the siding I have. I have tried to use some pliers to gently bend this, but the results were terrible. The sheet metal of the z flashing kept getting mangled. Is there some method or a simple tool that will help change the bend of the metal flashing?

Hello. I just had Wasco install a new bay window at my home. It's on the North side of the home. Does it look like cold air is leaking in at the corners? And do you think the trim should be replaced around the glass? It's cardinal lowE 180 glass. Thanks for your input
