I am looking for advice/detail info for using non-flanged wiindows in New Wood Construction with Fiber cement lap siding. All the Details on this site are for flanged windows.
Thanks very much, Peter Hendrickson

Peter,
The first step is to consult the installation instructions provided by the window manufacturer.
For a discussion of unflanged windows mounted with masonry clips, see this article: ‘Innie’ Windows or ‘Outie’ Windows?
There is a further discussion of using masonry clips to mount unflanged windows in this article: Installing Windows In a Foam-Sheathed Wall.
it may be too late now, but here is what I did for my house with vinyl siding. I had to invent a process that I had never seen before.
