Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a flashing system configured to reduce moisture intrusion at an opening extending through an exterior treatment of a building structure. The flashing system includes at least one flashing piece having a main flashing portion and a scaling flange. The main flashing portion is configured to extend outward a distance from a periphery of the opening of the building structure to provide an effective moisture barrier and configured to be positioned against a wall having the opening defined therein. The sealing flange is formed and configured to extend outward from the main flashing portion and configured to be positioned adjacent a peripheral-opening-structure at the periphery of the opening. The flashing system also includes a drip flange extending downwardly outward from a portion of the sealing flange.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a flashing system for a chimney-bonnet positioned on a chimney of a building structure. The flashing system includes at least one flashing member including at least an abutting portion and a flange portion. The abutting portion is formed to extend from the flange portion and is formed and configured to be positioned between a bottom portion of the chimney-bonnet and a surface of the chimney. The flange portion is formed to extend outwardly downward from the abutting portion and is formed and configured to direct moisture away from the surface of the chimney.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a flashing configured to reduce moisture intrusion in a building structure between two exterior treatments. The flashing includes a lower portion, a upper portion and a middle portion intermediate the front and upper portions. The upper portion includes a back surface and a front surface and is configured to be positioned between a wall structure of the building structure and a second exterior treatment. The middle portion includes a bottom surface and a top surface and is configured to be intermediate the first exterior treatment and the second exterior treatment. The lower portion includes a back surface and a front surface and is configured to be positioned against a face surface of a first exterior treatment a distance so as to reduce moisture intrusion from entering behind the lower portion of the flashing.

Abstract: A method and apparatus that provides a flashing member configured to reduce moisture intrusion in an upper portion of a wall proximate a vent in an eave portion of a building structure. The flashing member includes a upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion extending to the lower portion. The upper portion is formed and configured to be positioned adjacent a portion of a roof structure above the eave portion so as maintain air circulation through the vent into the roof structure. The lower portion is formed and configured to be positioned against the wall of the building structure and configured to extend below the vent. In this manner, the lower portion and the upper portion act in conjunction to facilitate reduction of moisture intrusion into the upper portion of the wall in the building structure.

Abstract: A method for flashing a building structure having openings therein and portions of discontinuity in one or more exterior treatments of the building structure. The method incorporates flashing materials for flashing a building structure during construction thereof. In the method, the flashing for the openings in the building structure and the portions of discontinuity in one or more exterior treatments of the building structure are provided. In addition, a flashing crew is provided, wherein the flashing crew includes one or more individuals skilled in installing the flashing to the building structure. Such a flashing crew is organized to install the flashing to the openings in the building structure and the portions of discontinuity of the one or more exterior treatments of the building structure.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a flashing configured to reduce moisture intrusion in a building structure at a foundation and exterior treatment interface. The flashing includes an upper portion, a middle portion and a lower portion. The upper portion includes a back surface and a front surface and is formed and configured to be positioned against a wall positioned on the foundation. The middle portion includes a bottom surface and a top surface extending from the upper portion and is formed and configured to be positioned against a top surface of the foundation. The lower portion includes a back surface and a front surface extending downward from the middle portion, wherein the lower portion is formed and configured to be positioned against a face surface of the foundation a distance to reduce moisture intrusion from entering behind the lower portion.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a flashing member configured to reduce moisture intrusion into a building structure at a foundation and exterior treatment interface. The flashing member includes a j-channel portion having a wall flashing portion and a channel portion. The channel portion is configured to receive a bottom portion of the exterior treatment and the wall flashing portion is configured to be positioned against the exterior treatment. The flashing member also includes an extension member having a foundation contacting portion. The extension member extends downward from the channel portion of the j-channel portion so that the foundation contacting portion is configured to be positioned against a face surface of the foundation to reduce moisture intrusion from entering behind the foundation contacting portion.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a flashing-integrated window frame configured to reduce moisture intrusion in a building structure. The flashing-integrated window frame includes a window frame and a drip flange. The window frame includes a front and a periphery and the drip flange is configured to extend from a bottom portion of the window frame. The drip flange includes a downward extension configured to extend from the bottom portion of the window frame and an outward extension extending from the downward extension. With this arrangement, the drip flange is configured to substantially direct moisture away from the building structure.

Abstract: A flashing system configured to reduce moisture intrusion at an opening extending through an exterior treatment of a building structure. The flashing system includes at least one flashing piece having a main flashing portion and a sealing flange. The main flashing portion is configured to extend outward a distance from a periphery of the opening of the building structure to provide an effective moisture barrier and configured to be positioned against a wall having the opening defined therein. The sealing flange of the at least one flashing piece includes a top sealing flange, a bottom sealing flange, a first side sealing flange and a second side sealing flange each configured to extend outward from the main flashing portion and is configured to be positioned adjacent a peripheral-opening-structure at a respective top periphery, bottom periphery, first side periphery and second side periphery of the opening. The flashing system also includes a first top tab and a second top tab.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a flashing system for reducing moisture intrusion at a wall and exterior molding interface of a building structure. The flashing system includes at least one flashing piece and a mold flashing. The at least one flashing piece includes a flashing portion and a sealing portion, wherein the flashing portion extends transversely with respect to the sealing portion. The at least one flashing piece is configured to be positioned against a wall of the building structure and the sealing portion is configured to be positioned adjacently along side an outer surface of the molding. The mold flashing is configured to at least partially cover the molding and overlap the sealing portion. With this arrangement, the flashing system reduces moisture intrusion from contacting the molding and reduces moisture intrusion at the wall and molding interface of the building structure.
