I am hearing different opinions about how to install new vinyl windows. Some say to wrap the wrap the house wrap in through the rough opening and then to nail window flange to house wrap and then to tape flange and others are saying to nail flange to wood sheathing and then to house wrap over flange and tape and others are talking about using a sticky flashing membrane similar to eave shield. Could someone tell me which is best. Also what about insulation, stuffed in fiberglass vs. spray in foam? What about using shims, are they needed when nailing flange? Thanks
