Panel Siding Flashing

The flashing can be used over window trim band boards panel intersections and other vertical.

Panel siding flashing.

Galvanized steel z flashing is made from 28 gauge galvanized steel. My specific project specifies lp smartside reverse board and batten siding in 4x8 sheets. It is used to protect the horizontal joints between sheets of siding from water infiltration. 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.

Using metal window head flashing directs the water away from the wall and eliminates that problem. The large leg of the metal goes against the wall leaving the seat and face covering the top edge of the siding.

I am wondering if anyone has any advice on properly flashing window and door penetrations when using a panel type siding. Corrugated metals incorporated proudly introduces metal flashings as the latest addition to its product line for metal roofing and siding. I am mainly concerned about the detail at the head where it should be flashed.
