Panel Siding Flashing

The seat dimension 3 8 in corresponds to the siding thickness.

Panel siding flashing.

Flush the end of the flashing length with the wall corner and secure the flashing to the framing with an 8d nail at each wall stud. Galvanized steel z flashing is made from 28 gauge galvanized steel. The flashing can be used over window trim band boards panel intersections and other vertical. My specific project specifies lp smartside reverse board and batten siding in 4x8 sheets.

The windows and doors are aluminum clad with a 1x4 picture frame trim detail. Siding panels strips of felt staples board and flashing for the water table stainless steel or galvanized siding nails primer or sealer. It is used to protect the horizontal joints between sheets of siding from water infiltration. Using metal window head flashing directs the water away from the wall and eliminates that problem.

Begin at either end of the wall and set the level middle section of the z flashing onto the top edge of the siding panel with the wider flange upward and against the wall framing. I am mainly concerned about the detail at the head where it should be flashed. I am wondering if anyone has any advice on properly flashing window and door penetrations when using a panel type siding.
