Got all my windows the other day and I want to start installing them tomorrow. I know you usually use nails for windows with flanges but they come out real easy in the MGO board. I'm boxing out the rough openings with 2x6 so I could hope that I hit that with longer nails but thought maybe I should use screws, any ideas??? Also does the MGO break down plated roofing nails??? Thanks, Sean

I've emailed him and waiting for a reply, thought someone here might know. I was thinking the same screws we used for the panels, they look like a coated drywall screw. Sean
