Should the plastic be taped at the windows?

Hello!
The carpenter is coming next week to finish the windows. Does he want to tape the plastic or is it just for me to cut it off?
Maybe a dumb question. 😩

Yes, the plastic should be stapled to the frame, then tape the corners tightly, and against the window, it's usually sealed with a flexible sealant because it's easier and cheaper, but if you can tape it tightly, it will be good.

Yes, the plastic should be stapled to the frame, then tape the corners tightly and against the window, it's common to use soft sealing because it's easier and cheaper, but if you can tape it tightly, that's good..

Thank you so much for the answer!👍

No question is silly. The simplest thing is to ask the carpenter how he plans to proceed.

But meddling with something a professional is working on is generally a bad idea unless you have agreed beforehand on how you can help.

You're absolutely right to suspect it might be a bad idea to cut away what the carpenter has put up. So it's actually a smart question!😁
