Cover flashing

[Evalarsson36]

Then you'll have these problems with almost all craftsmen!

Can't craftsmen behave? I've actually met quite a few who can.

If precipitation was the only moisture load...

Buy better quality sheet metal to avoid having to replace it. It will be cheaper and less troublesome than replacing moisture-damaged construction and materials.

If you deviate from the theory, you should at least conduct a risk assessment (probability and consequence) and consider whether it's worth it.

But what if you've bought a house where the sheet metal needs to be replaced for some reason? It could also be that you want to, for example, change the color or material.

The product shall have an underlying windproof construction according to their description (e.g., windboard).
If the insulation board is windproof and part of the windproof construction, drip edges are placed behind the windproof construction.

For example, if you install 100 mm thick boards, the top flashing will become very deep if they need to sit inside the insulation and reach a few mm beyond the window casing. About 250 mm? It also creates a difficult-to-insulate thermal bridge under the flashing.

Clue: The thread's title.

Aha

In 25 years at various house factories, I have not encountered placing the flashing under the wind barrier.

House factories aren't exactly known for always providing the best solution???

Fast, cheap, and good enough tend to be the guiding principles. For me, it's not good enough.

Is there any picture of the work today?

There you go! For those of us who want to help, it is interesting, but apparently not for them as long as they can talk crap about the craftsman and his attitude towards her. Would be fun to hear the craftsman's side, I'm convinced that their stories don't match🙈

I have not considered it to be done incorrectly 😉 read more carefully

It could be that they've been working!

Hope you're joking. You definitely DON'T do it like that.

 

[Evalarsson36]

Hope you're joking. That's definitely NOT how you do it.

About me not considering it incorrectly done? Where do you get that from?

A bit off topic but this image sometimes appears with the text:
"This is the only advertisement this window installer ever needs to use.


My point is to always do things 100% and not take shortcuts on something that will be there for maybe hundreds of years.

What is in the pictures? It doesn't look particularly new. Is this what the craftsman has done, or is it what needs to be fixed?

 

[martinradbo]

Is it that I haven't considered it to be wrongly performed? Where do you get that from?

I just mean that you shouldn't place the metal sheet that way.
I have no idea if it's an old or new image, yours or someone else's house. Just that it is incorrectly installed.

Yes, absolutely right. But now it's not me who replaced the windows and installed the window flashing! I just asked how it should be installed! Btw drove past a carpenter's house and his looked the same.

I have not considered it to be incorrectly executed 😉 read more carefully

But those pictures don't show what someone has done recently; it must be xx years since the panel and flashing were installed!

This must be a troll thread?
