Aluminum or steel flashing can also be used to extend the window frame out to
give a clean, finished edge.
There are different ways to cap the sides of openings. Two common ways are
shown below. Unless you own a metal brake, you will have to find a place to get
your flashing bent. Take your measurements and make a drawing of what you
need. Do not forget the flashing above openings.
Remember to apply caulk along the window frame and the flashing, and the
flashing and the brick.
