Hi all,
I have just had some new windows and weatherboards installed and they used Sikaflex Pro to seal around the window instead of flashing. Is this sufficient, and allowed?
A couple of people have told me they have to have flashing, the builder insists they always just use Sikaflex instead. I'm reading this from the NCC which seems to indicate that flashing is required: https://awa.associationonline.com.au/do ... /item/1987
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
