Panel Siding Flashing

Siding panels strips of felt staples board and flashing for the water table stainless steel or galvanized siding nails primer or sealer.

Panel siding flashing. The flashing can be used over window trim band boards panel intersections and other vertical. Flush the end of the flashing length with the wall corner and secure the flashing to the framing with an 8d nail at each wall stud. Begin at either end of the wall and set the level middle section of the z flashing onto the top edge of the siding panel with the wider flange upward and against the wall framing. Using metal window head flashing directs the water away from the wall and eliminates that problem.

The windows and doors are aluminum clad with a 1x4 picture frame trim detail. I am wondering if anyone has any advice on properly flashing window and door penetrations when using a panel type siding. Galvanized steel z flashing is made from 28 gauge galvanized steel. The seat dimension 3 8 in corresponds to the siding thickness.

I am mainly concerned about the detail at the head where it should be flashed. To view more details about our metal flashings you can contact a corrugated metals representative at 1 800 621 5617. It is used to protect the horizontal joints between sheets of siding from water infiltration.
