Cover flashing

[Farstatjej90]

Even if the person says strange things to you, you don't have to "call" him anything, do you? Stop work and ask him to leave so you don't have to waste energy on such a person.

Strange things? It's called sexual harassment.

He interrupted the work himself and no more renovations with him.

How do you want the flashing to be installed?
How is it installed now?
It should definitely not be installed only under the covers if it is a standing panel with cover and baseboard.

What do you base that on?

Basically everything you write...

It definitely should not be installed only under the caps if it's a vertical panel with caps and bottom board.

Why? Do you have training in this?

As an emergency solution, it can be placed on the panel board under the cover batten/cover board during renovation, window replacement, etc.
But it cannot be answered without knowing how the construction looks and the reason for making that choice.

I have a discussion with my carpenter about how the flashing should be installed. We don't completely agree. Is there anyone here who is a metalworker who can show pictures of how it should look? Wood panel

Hi, I am a stick builder and have built over 50 houses using stick construction.

In new construction, the flashing should be installed inside the wind barrier/fabric, or alternatively exterior gypsum or asfaboard, to prevent condensation and driven water from damaging the frame.
When renovating, replacing windows, etc., there are established methods that suggest it’s not possible to get the flashing behind the wind barrier without removing all the paneling above; therefore, the flashing can be placed against the wind barrier or against the nailing strip, depending on the construction.

Best regards, Janne

I see many who have mounted only under the lids. Is that wrong?

Yes, it is wrong.

Hello, I am a site-built home builder and have built over 50 site-built houses.

In new construction, the flashing should be installed inside the windbreaker/membrane or alternatively, outer gypsum board or asfaboard, so that condensation and driven water do not damage the frame.
In renovations involving window replacements, etc., there are established methods indicating that it is not possible to fit the flashing behind the windbreaker without dismantling all the paneling above. Therefore, you can place the flashing against the windbreaker or alternatively against the battens, depending on the construction.

Best regards, Janne

Thanks
Is asfaboard still used?

Yes, Hm-hus in Gothenburg builds with it; I know several carpenters who use it.

Talk to your carpenter about this; a tip is not to clash with a craftsman as they are often not very socially skilled in discussions about their craft, often due to pride, which is unfortunate in itself.

Yes, it is wrong.

Doesn't have to be wrong in certain renovation situations. If the only option is to place on top of a panel board, then you do it.
But it requires then a flashing made with a slight indentation at the top edge of the sheet, e.g. 10 mm from the edge. Where the edge is pressed against the panel board during installation. Then painting should be done so the paint goes out a bit over the sheet.

It may not be wrong in certain renovation situations. If the only option is to place it on top of the panel board, then go ahead.
But it requires a flashing that is made with a slight inward bend on the top edge of the metal, e.g., 10 mm from the edge. Where the edge is pressed against the panel board during installation. Then painting should be done so that the paint goes a little over the metal.

I know that many people do it this way, but that doesn't mean it's done correctly; there are many DIY enthusiasts in our long country.
And it can work depending on how weather-exposed the facade is. But if a construction company does it and the panel rots or, even worse, water seeps into the structure, it will be tough for the construction company in a dispute to argue that they've seen others do it.

Oh well, I see, good luck!
