Dependable window flashing. Essential for blocking moisture.
The US has just experienced the 12 wettest months in its recorded history,1 a statistic that’s not good news for homes and buildings with structural vulnerabilities that let moisture in. A window that’s improperly flashed can quickly become one of the most vulnerable points in the structure, allowing mold and rot to enter and do their dirty work.
Moisture can breach the window’s exterior from virtually any angle or direction, so durable, dependable flashing is considered an essential barrier between windows and siding. Flexible flashing is a popular choice, as it supports effective shaping of critical corners and is more likely to remain reliably flat and protective.
Some questions to ask when considering corner flashing solutions:
- Does the corner flashing integrate with the wall system itself to create a seamless drainage plane?
- Can it correct for framing irregularities?
- Is it flexible, durable and abuse-resistant, for consistent, dependable moisture protection?
- Can it be applied without large mechanical fasteners?
- Can it be easily trimmed and cut without pre-measuring?
- Is it easy to install?
