ATTACHING THE FLASHINGS
Now it is time to fi nish the corners by fi tting the Corner Flashings.
PLEASE NOTE: Do NOT screw tek screws too tightly into the corner
and door side fl ashings as they will pull in and leave a dent.
We will screw the corner fl ashings onto each corner using six 55mm tek
screws per corner, 3 x into each face of the fl ashing, 2 x at the top, 2 x at
the bottom and 2 x in the middle. The top screws should be approx 250mm
down from top of top plate.
•
Starting with the front RH fl ashing, hold it in place fl ush with the top of the
front wall
timber frame. Pre-drill a 3.5mm hole 250mm down, in the
front face. Ensure that the fl ashing is square and parallel with the wall
and fasten with a Tek screw. Repeat the process at the bottom of the
fl ashing, taking care to keep the fl ashing vertically plumb.
• Back at the top, adjust the fl ashing so that it is perpendicular (vertically
level) from the side, pre-drill the hole at the top parallel with the fi rst
screw and attach. Repeat at the bottom. Now fi nd the centre of the
fl ashing vertically, pre-drill and fi x the 2 middle screws.
• Repeat with all corners
DOOR JAMB FLASHINGS
• Position the door jamb fl ashing so top is level with underside of lintel.
• Attach using three 30mm clouts, nailed to inside of stud (top, bottom and
middle) and three 55mm tek screws on the outer face screwed through the
front wall cladding into the stud.
• Repeat with the Left Door Jamb fl ashing
OVER DOOR FLASHING
• Position the door top fl ashing onto the top of the door jambs and centred on
the door.(Note fl ashing length will protrude approx 10mm past outside edge of
each door jamb fl ashing to allow any water runoff to be away from the door).
• Using three 55mm tek screws,(one each end and one in middle) screw the
fl ashing through the front 90mm wide face into the timber lintel.
