Cover flashing

[Farstatjej90]

Yes lock is exactly that. Yes, installing behind wind breaking paper is just bullshit and a way for him to get away and say that you don't understand this little girl. I'm actually considering reporting to Arn. Because he has such a lousy attitude.

What I don't understand is that it seems much more difficult to install behind the wind breaking paper and my experience with this kind of thing is that the craftsman wants to take a shortcut. But this seems to involve more and not less work.

There might still be some information missing here.

Calling someone dumb in the head is not particularly constructive.

Swedish wood has two different methods for how overflashings are installed. One way is under the nailing rule and the other is under the wind barrier.

....but option two is only relevant when you don't have a "traditional" window trim. Otherwise, you end up in the middle of a wind barrier surface. Option two is only relevant when you don't have trim and therefore can access the wind barrier adjacent to the window. Or?

Swedish wood has two different variants of how the flashing is mounted. One method is under the nailing batten and the other is under the wind barrier.

In the example I linked, how do you get the flashing through the wind barrier? Do you cut a hole in it or let it end above the flashing?

Look at the wood guide's example, it's for a different construction.

....but option two is only relevant when you don't have a "traditional" window molding. Otherwise, you end up right on a surface of wind barrier. Option two is only relevant when you don't have a molding and thus can access the wind barrier adjacent to the window. Or?

Seems reasonable. At least it's behind the nail batten, not on the nail batten as suggested earlier in the thread.

I didn't find the right one, it was linked to a page with lots of information not related to this.

If I understand the drawings correctly, these options are functionally the same, but if you have already installed wind barrier, one method is more difficult.

His shortcut in this is to belittle me and avoid correcting his own mistake.

Then you have to avoid belittling people and having a crappy attitude, actually.

Is this primarily a technical error or a social error in your view? I just want to understand what the main problem is.

The main problem is that he doesn't want to fix mistakes made in the renovation. He blames it on things like the overbleck being incorrectly positioned, so it can't be fixed. So it's a bit of both. He has a generally bad attitude and, among other things, meddles in my private life and asked, for example, if my male friend is my FWB. I just want facts so I know he's just talking nonsense. Considering reporting him to Arn just because he has such a lousy attitude.

The main problem is that he doesn't want to fix the errors that occurred during the renovation. And he blames it on, among other things, the flashing being incorrectly installed, so it can't be fixed. So it's a bit of both. He has a bad attitude overall and, among other things, interferes in my private life, asking if my male friend is my FWB. I just want facts to know that he's just rambling. Considering reporting him to Arn just because of his lousy attitude.

It sounds like he's completely clueless. What's the name of the idiot and his company? I don't want to accidentally hire that fool.

I think the technical question itself is actually quite secondary. If it's not a very big error, I would have cut contact immediately and posted his name here.

Depending on how the renovation is done, the carpenter's suggestion might be correct based on an older construction and does not necessarily need to be a bad solution. However, in new construction, it is placed over the wind barrier or battens if it is a standing ordinary lock panel.
We do not know how the wall and renovation are constructed/done, so we have to guess since that information is missing.
