That is putting a vapor barrier on the inside and outside which will trap moisture laden air in between which condenses from meeting the cold and causes mold, mildew, and a host of other problems. We are American Window & Door Institute researching, instructing and certifying proper window installation since 1989, and the basis of ASTM 2112 which forms substance platform for AAMA. We have a federally registered Certification Mark for installation - something no one else has for window and door installation. Be careful when caulking inside and outside of window installations.
