Jim Baird 24 Report post Posted February 19, 2017 How big or how tall? I like the vertical distance to the window sill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Katen 112 Report post Posted February 19, 2017 Are there any written standards as to how big a header flashing should be at a wall to roof detail? I think that the correct term is apron flashing or base flashing. Certainteed requires a minimum 2" vertical leg and a 3" or 4" horizontal leg, depending on the location.
