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.

- 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 against a roof surface following installation on a building envelope;
- a wall portion configured to abut and be secured to a wall following installation on the building envelope;
