Abstract
Headwall flashing and sloped wall flashing, each having a ledge, where the ledges are designed to meet at an outside corner of a roof protrusion comprising a headwall and a cheek wall, the headwall flashing being configured to abut a face of the roof protrusion and having a downwardly-angled ledge that ties into the ledge of the sloped roof flashing, which is angled such that it forms a consistent ledge for installation of siding up a cheek wall, despite the siding creating a shimming effect that would typically result in a stepped appearance and misalignment thereof.
Claims22
Headwall flashing comprising:
- a base portion configured to rest flatly against a roof surface along substantially an entire bottom surface thereof following installation on a building envelope;
- a wall portion extending directly from said base portion wherein said wall portion is configured to abut and be secured to a wall, prior to the installation of siding thereon, following installation on the building envelope;
- a closed hem integrated into said wall portion and extending away from said wall portion, forming a ledge;
- and
- an upper wall portion extending vertically from said closed hem integrated into said wall portion and configured to abut and be secured to a wall following installation on the building envelope,
- wherein said closed hem integrated into said wall portion is downwardly-angled relative to said wall portion and said upper wall portion and substantially parallel with said base portion, forming an acute angle with said wall portion and an obtuse angle with said upper wall portion, and
- wherein the angle between said base portion and said wall portion is obtuse.
Sloped wall flashing comprising:
- a base portion configured to rest flatly against a roof surface along substantially an entire bottom surface thereof following installation on a building envelope adjacent a cheek wall;
- a wall portion extending directly from said base portion wherein said wall portion is configured to abut and be secured to a cheek wall, prior to the installation of siding thereon, following installation on the building envelope adjacent the cheek wall;
- a closed hem integrated into said wall portion and extending substantially perpendicularly away from said wall portion, forming a ledge;
- and
- an upper wall portion extending vertically from said closed hem integrated into said wall portion and configured to abut and be secured to the cheek wall following installation on the building envelope adjacent the cheek wall,
- wherein said closed hem integrated into said wall portion is downwardly-angled relative to said base portion, in a direction parallel to said wall, resulting in one side thereof being vertically closer to said base portion than the other, and
- wherein, over the length of the closed hem integrated into said wall portion, the downward angle thereof brings said closed hem integrated into said wall portion one shingle thickness closer to said base portion.
