Cover flashing

[AndersS]

I know that many people do it this way, but that doesn't make it correctly executed; there are many DIY enthusiasts in our elongated country.
And it can work depending on how exposed to the weather the facade is. But if a construction company does it and the panel rots or, even worse, the water finds its way into the structure, it will be tough for the construction company in a dispute to claim that they have seen others do it.

Well, when renovating older buildings, it is allowed to use a method that should not be used today, based on the building's construction and to avoid having to demolish/change an unreasonable amount. Of course, this is done in dialogue with the customer.
It doesn't have to be defined as incorrect, but rather as the "best solution" based on the current conditions.

You write allowed by whom, construction companies are not allowed to perform work unless it is professionally executed. I can imagine barns and outbuildings, then it might be okay!

No, I'm not referring to barns/storage where there often lacks flashing, barns rarely have windows. But there are probably many opinions about what is considered professional regarding old houses and renovation. And also depending on location and weather conditions.

But barns have doors and openings, same principle. Enough about that, you can do as you please while a company has regulations to follow. Can you show any document or what are you basing your reasoning on?

Strange things? It's called sexual harassment.

Then you can report it to the police.

Then you can report to the police.

I agree.

It can't be done the way you write.
First, you have to start from a house when it's built in 1920-30 or 1970-80 and then its construction.
Then what needs to be done and the extent. And also cost that is reasonable.
But also the location of the house based on weather impact.
So it is not possible to generalize and "show on documents."
And as I've written a few times, it is only done when better alternatives are not applicable for some reason.

But now we have to stick to this thread and the discussion about constructions that have wind protection. Not about log houses, plank houses without wind and water protection because then it's a completely different discussion.
Cost etc., also has nothing to do with it because a serious company doesn't make incorrect solutions that the customer desires and shouldn't do so.

Oh okay, I understand, good luck!

You're not supposed to lillagumman me

Hi, I'm a custom home builder and have built over 50 stick-built houses.

In new construction, the flashing should be installed behind the wind barrier/cloth or alternatively exterior gypsum or asfaboard so that condensation and driven water do not damage the framework.
In renovation window replacement etc., there are established methods stating that it's not possible to insert the flashing behind the windshelter without removing all the paneling above, therefore, the flashing can be placed against the windshelter or alternatively against the furring strips depending on the construction.

Check out the video I linked earlier in the thread. Your field doesn't agree on how to do it.

One should not belittle me like that

Now I don't understand anything. I helped you and in the last thing I wrote, I wished you good luck?

What are you talking about?

 

[Alexn72]

Is there a picture of the work today?

 

[Aylahund]

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

You can also have the flashing on the facade, according to a tinsmith I know, as long as there is sealing behind the flashing.
