ABSTRACT:
There is described an improved flashing system for exterior doors and windows. The system comprises a header, right and left hand vertical drainage channels and right and left hand corner sections which join the header to the vertical channels on either side of the door or window. The header is designed to provide normal protection for the top of the door or window from water infiltration and also provides at the rear thereof a dam and weep holes for removal of any rainwater which may infiltrate between the flashing and applied siding. The system design provides a continuous channel to conduct any infiltrating water from the header via the corner sections to the vertical channels wherefrom it drains downward and is harmlessly removed at the base of the window or door.
