Flashings: Your Building’s Waterproof Bodyguards
New Zealand’s Building Code, clause E2, defines flashings as “components formed from a rigid or flexible waterproof material that drains or deflects water back outside the cladding system.” In essence, these essential elements play a critical role in maintaining the integrity of a building’s envelope by preventing external moisture penetration.
Strategically positioned throughout the structure, flashings act as dedicated sentinels, safeguarding key architectural junctures:
- Roof Junctions and Edges: Guarding gutters, junctions, and edges, flashings deflect precipitation away from vulnerable points, ensuring seamless water drainage.
- Roof Pitch Transitions: Where roof angles change, flashings bridge the gap, preserving a continuous waterproof barrier, crucial for optimal weathertightness.
- Penetrations: Flashings form watertight seals around roof and wall penetrations like pipes, doors, and windows, preventing moisture infiltration.
- Cladding Junctions: Both vertical and horizontal junctions between cladding materials are secured by flashings, eliminating potential entry points for water and maintaining cladding system integrity.
- Roof and Wall Intersections: From soffits and parapets to skylights and balustrades, flashings seamlessly integrate these elements with the roof, ensuring a unified and impenetrable barrier against the elements.
- Intersecting Building Elements: Wherever disparate building components meet, flashings act as meticulous negotiators, guaranteeing a watertight and robust connection.
