Looking for an EIFS JPEG with a Replacement Window

[Scottpat]

I'm looking for a JPG that shows a vinyl replacement window installed in a wall that is clad in EIFS. Or even better would be the JPG and the proper requirements.

Thanks?...

Lots of window detail diagrams on the Sto site. Dozens popped up when I googled "sto window detail".

Window installation detail has always been a troublesome topic for me. The detail depends on type of wall finish, type of wall construction and type of window.

I've yet to find a source that details every permutation. The JLC Guide to Moisture Control is the closest I've gotten.

Is it installed as a replacement inside the original window? If yes then the original details should still be in place. They could be fouled with a crappy wrap job, but they would still be there.

If they pulled the whole window out I don't see how the detailing could be present at all unless they cut into the finish and patched back in.

The original windows were cutout. The replacement windows (Marvin) were then placed in the openings and sealed just with backer rod and sealant. I'm just trying to find any details that show this being done. I don't have anything that shows a replacement window install in EIFS or how it could even be done.

I do have details that show the EIFS being cut away and the old window being removed and new windows(not replacement type) with nailing fins being installed and then the EIFS being replaced and properly sealed. This is the proper way to replaces windows in EIFS. But, this is not what was done on the home I'm consulting on. []

The kicker is that the manufacturer does not warranty any window installed in EIFS...

Marvin has a pretty good engineering department. I would contact them and ask if they have a detail for that application. I'd be very surprised if they didn't.

They are on the list to call tomorrow.

...if Marvin won't warranty the replacement install for EIFS I doubt they would recommend on it beyond a fare thee well.

Well, Marvin said they have no details on installing their windows in EIFS! Pretty darn simple......

Here's a pic of how we set windows in stucco.....it's a sheet metal sill pan and jamb fabrication, and the window sans any molding or nailing flange is slid in from the interior. The 2nd pic shows the window in place, with a small wick that drains the pan.

That's sexy!

I have seen similar details before like that and its about the only way to install a window in my opinion?.

Yes. God Bless CNC sheet metal fabricators. The longer I do this thing, the more I think in terms of sheet metal solutions.
