A Window Flashing can help avoid costly water damage by directing moisture away from the window from the

top down. Window Flashing, also known as Drip Cap is required by most building codes.

WINDOW FLASHING #FLGAWF

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

1. Cut the Window Flashing to allow 1/2 inch overhang on each side of the window you are protecting. Position the Window

Flashing and apply flashing tape to the top edge

2. Secure the Window Flashing using 3 galvanized nails. The Window Flashing will form an awning over the window. Apply a dab

of caulking to the nail heads.

3. Building paper should overlap the flashing tape and the Window Flashing and then be covered by the siding.

4. Cut and bend the overhanging Window Flashing to make flaps on each end. The resulting flaps should be sealed with exterior

grade sealant to create wind-resistant sides.
