    Proper brickmolding on vinyl windows
    Hello, was looking for guides on how to install brickmold, or exterior trim in general, on vinyl windows. I have put a new vinyl window with 1-1/4" nail fins in a stucco wall and am about to reapply the stucco around the window (as on the photo). As far as I understand, it is better to have stucco butted up against wood brickmold rather than relatively soft vinyl. The store brickmolds are not much wider than the nail fin though -- what is the right way to install them then?

    I will apply a layer of flashing tape to the nail fin before brickmolding, of course.


    Would greatly appreciate any feedback and reference. Thanks and best wishes, h.
