Mike Lamb Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Is a flashing required above this stone protrusion above a window. I did see flashing at the lintel directly above the window. Veneer masonry. Edited January 30, 2019 by Mike Lamb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted January 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 I see this but not sure of interpretation. . IRC 1405.4 Flashing. Flashing shall be installed in such a manner so as to prevent moisture from entering the wall or to redirect it to the exterior. Flashing shall be installed at the perimeters of exterior door and window assemblies, penetrations and terminations of exterior wall assemblies… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 I think that flashing at the lintel would be fine. It's a rain screen system. We assume that water will run behind it; we want a way for the water to flow back out at the window opening, not above it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Aren't those details around the window decorative only? Like EIFS trim on each side of a window opening in a wall that's finished in cement board stucco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RK52 Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 I believe this does not require flashing, for two reasons. First, is appears to slope well away from the wall. Second, and I’m guessing here, this is either exterior to the brick face, or aligned with it at the interior surface, like one long brick. But looking at the line above it, I can’t see brick cut so thin as that. Exterior to the wall, sloped, I’m not sure it’s a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
