Panel siding flashing.

I am wondering if anyone has any advice on properly flashing window and door penetrations when using a panel type siding. My specific project specifies lp smartside reverse board and batten siding in 4x8 sheets. 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. The large leg of the metal goes against the wall leaving the seat and face covering the top edge of the siding.

It is used to protect the horizontal joints between sheets of siding from water infiltration. Siding panels strips of felt staples board and flashing for the water table stainless steel or galvanized siding nails primer or sealer. To view more details about our metal flashings you can contact a corrugated metals representative at 1 800 621 5617. I am mainly concerned about the detail at the head where it should be flashed.

Using metal window head flashing directs the water away from the wall and eliminates that problem. Flush the end of the flashing length with the wall corner and secure the flashing to the framing with an 8d nail at each wall stud. The windows and doors are aluminum clad with a 1x4 picture frame trim detail.
