At a custom home build in Kansas City, Jake Bruton walks through how his team sizes window rough openings for European-style tilt turn and awning windows. He explains why standard manufacturer rough opening charts often fall short once trim, finishes, and operable sashes come into play, and how adding extra space around the frame protects the air and water control layers. Bruton details the zip sheathing, tape, and sealant work that ties the window into the wall assembly, then moves to a detached garage to show how the same rough opening sizing plays out in drywall returns and finish trim around hardware.
