1. Introduction and Scope

Correct detailing of LYSAGHT roof and wall flashing has more than cosmetic importance - it is essential in ensuring the wet weather performance of the cladding. Correct flashing and detailing will improve the overall appearance of the finished job. The advice given in this manual is consistent with the requirements of the Building Code of Australia and is aimed at ensuring that correct practice is specified into building contruction. In many instances, alternative methods are examined to provide a clear understanding of the implications arising from these alteratives. And finally, the examples shown are typical of the work to be carried out and may not apply to specific situations or specific LYSAGHT cladding products. In all cases, a qualified tradesman should be engaged to ensure the advice given here is applicable to your intended use. We hope that the information supplied provides clear, concise direction in the correct design and detailing of roof and wall flashing for architects and draghtsmen. The manual is set out in two parts, design and flashing. For overall roof and wall design, refer to the LYSAGHT Roofing & Walling Installation Manual. If these products are to be used in cyclonic areas as defined in AS 1170.2; 2011, you must also refer to the Lysaght Cyclonic Area Design Manual. Both these publications are availble at: www.lysaght.com
2 Design preliminaries
2.1 Product selection
When you incorporate steel cladding into your building Lysaght offers a wide range of profiles from which to choose. Whilst roofing and walling obviously have to keep out the weather, they also have significant effects on the looks, cost and durability of a building. If you are unsure about any product feature, visit www.lysaght.com, call our information line or seek advice from the relevant specialists.
BlueScope Lysaght has been supplying the Australian building industry with premium products for over 150 years, and our technical literature provides the engineering data to design buildings using our products.
2.2 Purpose of flashing

The purpose of a flashing is to divert water away from any point of entry, and to make any building weatherproof. Flashings and cappings are strips of metal formed to weatherproof the edges of roofing and walling. For the purposes of this chapter, only the term flashing is used. The following sections should be considered as a guide only. For a comprehensive account of flashing guidelines, refer to HB39-1997. Similar methods of flashing are used for different claddingprofiles. You can adapt the principles to suit your application. In all cases it is important to have ample cover provided by the flashing and proper turn-up of the cladding underneath. Be careful when moving between supports. Do not walk in the pan immediately adjacent to flashings or translucent sheeting. Walk at least one pan away. Lysaght has a range of standard flashings. We can also supply custom flashings to your requirements ask your local service centre for details. Flashings are not only required to provide weather-resistance the many junctions on a roof or wall structure, but are also a very visible part of the roof and wall cladding design, and perform an important role in the aesthetic appearance of the building. Experience is required to design, cut and fasten flashings that will last the lifetime of the roof or wall cladding, and specialist assistance should be sought where this experience is not available. All flashings must be designed to prevent ponding of water or build-up of debris. Flashings must be designed to provide weather-resistance for the roof or wall cladding without reliance on sealant as the prime means of providing weatherresistance. Unpainted galvanised steel is incompatible with most inert materials and is subject to inert catchment corrosion.
In particular, architects and builders should consult chapters 2 to 6 of the LYSAGHT Roofing & Walling Installation Manual. We urge the reader to consult this document for overall design and fixing advice, although selected parts of that information are repeated here. The appropriate design will depend on your particular needs and circumstances. You should get advice from the relevant qualified specialists where required.
2.3 Materials and finishes

To ensure equal durability, flashings, ridge cappings, and accessories should be manufactured from the same material, and have the same coating system, as the material used for the roof and wall cladding. When this is not possible, or if different materials are intended or specified, the alternative materials should be compatible for both contact and runoff. Our most widely used cladding profiles are listed in Tables 2.10.1 and 2.11.1. They are available in colorbond prepainted steel, or in unpainted zincalume aluminium/zinc alloy-coated steel. colorbond pre-painted steel has either a aluminium/ zinc alloy-coated steel or stainless steel base metal, with a range of organic coatings to cope with exposure to a range of environments.
2.4 Compatibility
When two dissimilar metals are in contact and moisture is present, one metal is relatively protected while the other suffers accelerated corrosion. Galvanic or bimetallic corrosion can also occur when water flows over dissimilar metals. The design of flashings has a direct relationship to corrosion, as the underlying design principle is to keep the metal dry, to avoid any retention of moisture by debris, and to provide all flashings with a minimum fall of 11 or 12 to avoid ponding. The designer and roofing contractor should be aware of compatibility issues when combining materials in a roof system or placing assemblies such as air-conditioning units, solar collectors and walkways on top of roof cladding. If materials are combined incorrectly, severe localised corrosion may occur. It is very important that flashings be made from materials that are compatible with the cladding (Section 2.10, LYSAGHT Roofing & Walling Installation Manual). Lead flashing is not recommended, however it will usually be retained when re-roofing, because it is usually cemented into the structure. In these cases: the top surface of the lead flashing must be painted with a good quality exterior paint system (to limit contamination with lead compounds in water running off the flashing); and there must be a barrier between the lead flashing and the cladding: either a plastic strip (such as polythene dampcourse), or paint. Flashings should conform to AS/NZS 2179.1:1994, and be compatible with the cladding (Section 2.10, LYSAGHT Roofing & Walling Installation Manual). Materials for flashings are available in zincalume or colorbond finishes.
colorbond is prepainted steel for exterior roofing and walling. It is the most widely used. colorbond METALLIC is prepainted steel for superior aesthetic qualities displaying a metallic sheen. colorbond ULTRA is prepainted steel for severe coastal or industrial environments (generally within about 100 to 200 metres of the source). colorbond stainless is prepainted stainless steel for very severe coastal or industrial environments (generally within about 100 metres of the source). It is subject to availability and long lead times. Check with your local BlueScope Lysaght office for availability of profiles, materials, finishes, colours, accessories; and for suitability of the product. Tables 2.10.1 and 2.11.1 list general information for profile selection. Refer to our publications on specific products for detailed specifications. There are also publications on zincalume steel and colorbond prepainted steel from our information line (Page 1).

2.5 Support spacings

The maximum recommended support spacings are shown in Tables 2.13.1 and 2.14.1 of the LYSAGHT Roofing and Walling Installation Manual. They are based on data in accordance with AS 1562.1:1992 Design and installation of sheet roof and wall cladding: Metal, and AS 4040.1:1992 Methods of testing sheet roof and wall claddingResistance to concentrated loads. The spacings in the tables are recommended to produce adequate performance of claddings under concentrated loading (incidental for maintenance). For support spacings in wind conditions, refer to our publications on specific products for wind pressure data. In all cases, cladding is fixed to a support of 1.0mm minimum base metal thickness (BMT) and minimum yield stress of 550MPa. If you want to use metal battens thinner than 1.0mm, seek advice from our information line.
2.7 Low roof pitches

Unless there is adequate positive fall in a roof, there is danger of ponding, which can lead to a reduced service life, particularly in coastal areas. At low slopes, say around 1 in 50 (1) slope, all roof supports must be in the one plane because slight variations can result in zero or negative fall. This may occur even after completion of the building as the result of settlement, timber warping or shrinking, or extra loadings (like air conditioners). Minimum recommended roof slopes are listed in Table 2.12.1 of the LYSAGHT Roofing and Walling Installation Manual. As a guide, wherever possible, you should design for a minimum slope of 1 in 30 (2). Roof slopes lower than the recommended minimum may be available subject to enquiry and will be dependent upon the roof application and building details.
2.8 Wind forces on roofs 2.6 Maximum lengths of roofing

The valleys (or pans) of roofing have to carry water to the gutters. If the valleys overfill in heavy rain, water can flow into the roof through the side-laps and flashings. Factors affecting waterproof and drainage capacity of the laps of a profile include: the width and depth of the valleys or pans; the pitch of the roofrain flows faster on a steeper pitch; rainfall intensity for the geographical area; the length of the roof from ridge to gutter; and penetrations that cause nearby valleys to carry extra rain diverted from valleys obstructed by the penetration (Figure 2.14.1). The maximum recommended roof lengths for drainage for each profile are given in Table 2.14.1 of the LYSAGHT Roofing and Walling Installation Manual. Winds create considerable forces on both the topside and the underside of roof cladding, and you must consider these forces in the design and fixing of any roof. The forces are: inward forces tending to collapse the roof cladding inwards, caused by wind acting directly on the windward side; and outward forces tending to lift the roof cladding from its framing, and the entire roof structure from the rest of the building. Outward forces can be caused both by uplift from negative wind pressures, outside the building; and by positive wind pressure inside the building. Generally the greatest wind forces imposed on roofs are due to the outward forces. Because the dead weight of roofing materials is relatively small, the outward forces must be resisted by the roof fasteners. It is very important that the battens and roof framing are adequately fixed to the rafters and walls, and that claddings and flashings also be fixed to withstand these pressures.
2.9 Codes and performance tests

AS 1562.1:1992 specifies the design and installation of sheet metal roof and wall cladding. Our roofing profiles satisfy all the requirements of this standard, including the ability of the roof to resist outward forces and concentrated loads. The testing is performed according to AS 4040.1:1992 and AS 4040.2:1992. Flashings and cappings, although not tested separately, must comply to the fixing requirements of the cladding to deliver equal performance.

3. Roof Flashing
3.1 Design
All roof cladding edges located other than at the gutter, must have a cover flashing fastened on both faces. Flashings at the periphery of roof or wall cladding are subject to high suction or negative wind loads that often exceed all other positive imposed loads. As a result the wind design load can be up to twice that of the main roof area and extra fixings are required to fix flashings. The design wind load specific to any particular building, will determine the number and the spacing of flashing fasteners. There is however a minimum number of fastenings that should be provided to avoid flexing, oil canning or fatigue cracking of metal cladding under fluctuating loads and also to prevent noise or flutter. Screws are preferred to rivets for fastening flashings because the larger diameter shank gives a greater shear capacity, and as they have a bigger head a washer can be used to increase the pull over resistance per fastener. The ingress of rain into the roof or wall cavity via the flashings is predominantly caused by the pressure differential between the outside air and that inside the roof or wall cavity. This pressure differential caused by wind gusting is a dynamic one and fluctuates greatly, which means that a cyclic or pumping action can occur when water is sucked into the joint or cavity that a flashing is covering. An anti-capillary offset fold, a clearance gap of up to 5mm or a sealant should be provided on all flashing edges to avoid capillary action where flashings are in close contact with the roof or wall cladding. Flashings, other than standard ridging, are produced to specific order and are designed and manufactured from flat sheet or coil. If these flashings are required to match the colour of the profiled cladding sheets it is necessary for the pre-painted flat sheet or coil to be made by the same manufacturer using the same process in order to avoid differential colour matching or fading. Preferred maximum length of flashing is 6m, with expansion joints provided after a maximum of two lengths of flashing (12m) have been fixed together, as any lap secured by rivets or screws effectively becomes one length. Flashings are restricted in length in the same manner as are roof and wall cladding sheets and are subject to the same requirements and expansion provisions. The edges of all flashings must be spaced at a minimum distance of 2mm - 5mm away from an adjacent horizontal surface to avoid moisture retention and deterioration at the cut edge of coated steel flashings. This clearance applies particularly when a cut edge is very close to concrete or plaster or butyl rubber. The end of wall cladding should not extend down to any apron flashing, but should have minimum clearance (CL) of 25mm and a maximum clearance of 50mm.

3.3 Flashing laps

A lap is that part of a flashing that overlaps or covers any portion of the same shaped component, and is variously described as an end lap, overlap or underlap. Laps should comply with the following criteria: an overlap must run in the same direction as the water i.e. downhill; an overlap must run over not under; an overlap must be across the fall or at a shallow angle; water must flow over a lap not into it; a lap must be self-draining and not rely solely on sealant; a lap must be mechanically fixed; a sealed lap must have a minimum of width of 25mm;
3.4 Apron Flashing

Cladding should not fit tightly down onto the horizontal surface of any apron flashing as it will retain moisture and collect dirt and debris and should have minimum clearance of 25mm.
3.5 Longitudinal flashings

Longitudinal flashings run parallel to the pans or valleys, and are made to suit the cladding profile (Figure 11.2.1). They should have an edge turned-down to dip into the pan or valley.
Flashing Cover
The minimum recommended cover of longitudinal flashings over cladding should be as follows: (as taken from HB39-1997)
Pierce fixed roof sheet Concealed fixed roof sheet 150mm min. Into full pan (2/3 pan covered)
Figure 3.5.1
Typical longitudinal flashings
11
3.6 Transverse flashings

Transverse flashings run across the pans or valleys (Figure 3.6.1). They usually have a stiffening lip, along the lower edge, which is turned-down to dip into the pan or valley. To maximise weatherproofing, the bent lip is profiled to fit. The turn-down for transverse flashings for custom orb and custom blue orb can be fashioned to fit the profile by either notching or scribing to match the corrugations, or lightly dressed into the valleys. The type of fashioning (if any) depends upon profile shape and the type of material used to flash. Fashioning is preferred for low-slope roofs. The turn-down for transverse flashings for wide panned cladding is always notched or scribed to fit over the ribs.

Flashing Cover
BlueScope Lysaght produces a range of standard flashings (hip, barge, apron). To increase weather-resistance, Lysaght recommends you maximise the overlap between flashings and claddings. Refer to Table 8.1.2 in HB-39 for greater detail.
Fixing of Flashings
Longitudinal flashings shall be fastened at maximum 500mm centres. Transverse flashings shall be fastened in accordance with HB39-1997, as detailed below.

3.7 Using notching tools

After the cladding is fixed and the turn-ups finished, proceed as follows. Place a flashing with the notch-edge resting on the ribs. Locate your notching tool over a rib with the notching head against the flashing.
vertical tool:
The body locates along the rib. the lugs on the underside locates on top
horizontal tool:
of the rib. Raise the handle to open the tool and:

vertical tool:
lift the flashing into the mouth of the tool;
horizontal tool: slide the mouth of the tool over the edge of the flashing as far as it will go.
Push down on the handle to perform the notching. Repeat for all ribs, checking in each case that the flashing is correctly positioned. If you are using a horizontal tool, bend down the tongues between the notches over a suitable straight edge (such as a piece of timber).
Figure 3.7.1
Using notching tools
Notching with tinsnips

If notching tools are not available, flashings can be notched to the rib profile with tinsnips (Figure 3.7.2). The procedure is sometimes known as scribing. After the cladding is fixed and the turn-ups finished, proceed as follows. Place the flashing with the turned-down edge resting on the ribs. Mark out the notching using a template positioned over each rib. Cut the notches with tinsnips. This procedure is also used for hip cappings.
Fasteners for transverse flashings

You must properly fix both flashings and the ends of all sheets. Where the cladding is pierce-fixed through crests, and the position of the purlin allows it, the fasteners used to fix the sheets, may also fix the flashings. On all other installations, pierce-fix your flashing to the ribs or crests of the sheets.
Joining flashings
The overlaps of transverse flashings should be sealed with a recommended sealant and fastened. Before finally positioning and fixing the lap, turn over the top piece and apply a 3mm bead of sealant across the flashing, about 12mm from the end.

3.9 Capped bent ribbed roofs

Tray cladding can be used in continuous lengths from eave to eave by cutting the ribs and bending the pans at the ridgeline. The same process is used on Mansard roofs. Caps are fitted over the cut ribs, which open up when the pans are bent. Fitting the rib caps can be time-consuming and care must be taken with sealing to avoid any possibility of leakage. The ribs must be cut squarely, with a metal cutting blade in a power saw, set to the depth of the rib minus 2mm. In some states pressed steel caps may be available to suit klip-lok ribs, though the range of angles is limited. Caps can be handmade to suit any angle from flat sheet. klip-lok is most frequently used for capped bent ribbed roofs, but longline 305, trimdek or even spandek can be used. For these four profiles the rib caps can be made from pieces of rib profile cut from a short length of cladding. A neutral-cure silicon sealant should be used.

3.10 Gutter apron

Where the ends of roof cladding are exposed to contaminants such as sea salt or industrial pollutants it is better practice to provide an over flashing which discharges into the gutter or spouting for the following reasons. (see Figure 3.10.1 & 3.10.2) It provides a measure of protection to the underside of the roof cladding and the underlay. It provides support for the roofing underlay which is subject to damage from wind and UV. Where PVC spouting is used, there is an air gap between the spouting and the fascia because of the thickness of the brackets. In coastal locations where the ends of roof cladding are exposed this unwashed area becomes susceptible to corrosion and a gutter apron can minimise this risk. If there is no spouting or it has a low front. It provides protection against wind-borne embers. Where the ends of roof cladding are exposed in a severe environment, contaminants can be driven up the ribs of the cladding. Metal scriber flashings or filler blocks can be used to prevent or inhibit ventilation. The over-flashing should extend 50mm into the gutter and the underlay finishes on the down-slope of the flashing. If there is no over-flashing to the gutter the underlay should be extended into the gutter by a minimum of 20mm..

3.11 Types of penetration flashing design

Penetration flashings can be divided into four different types. Type A Underflashings are those that drain at the plane of the roof pan. Soaker (under) flashings Suitable for all pitches; The preferred detail; Make the side curb in line with the rib; Leave minimum all around clearance of 10mm; All upstands minimum of 100mm; Drill for rivets before sealing; Sealed laps must be minimum 25mm; Order cladding sheets longer for lapping; Type B Overflashings are those that drain at the plane of the rib of the roof.

3.12 Flashing large roof penetrations

Penetrations through ribbed cladding block the valleys (or pans), and thus affect the free flow of rainwater down a roof. All flashings have to weatherproof the cladding but on the uphill side of large penetrations, they also have to channel rainwater sideways into valleys that run unobstructed to the eaves. Four methods are described here. In all methods the ends of cut ribs may be closed off with caps on the outside of the rib, or with plugs inside the ribs. Plugs must be used on side-laps to allow the anti-capillary cavity to drain. Note: For masonry construction, Building Code Australia (BCA) requires the use of Damp Proof Course (DPC) to ensure weather-proofing. For acceptable methods see BCA section on weather-proofing masonry.
Support framing
Wherever one or more of the sheet ribs are cut, you must provide framing to support the cut ends of the roof cladding each side of the penetration.
Figure 3.12.1
Existing flashing
If you have to re-use lead flashings that are built into the structure, special protection is needed.
Flashing method 1: Head gutter
Method 1: Head gutter and apron flashings

This is often the simplest method, and commonly used for existing protrusions (Figure 3.12.1).
Method 2: Flat tray and sleeve

To avoid fitting and sealing end caps to all the sheet ribs on the low side of the penetration, an apron flashing can be fitted to the sleeve and sealed to the tray each side.
Figure 3.12.2
Flashing method 2: Flat tray and sleeve
17
Method 3: Tray gutter for steeper roofs

If the roof pitch is more than, say 1 in 12 (5), you cut the roof cladding sufficiently high above the penetration to allow a tray gutter to raise rainwater over the top of the sheet ribs and divert it around the penetration (Figure 3.12.3).
Figure 3.12.3
Flashing method 3: Tray gutter for steeper roofs
Method 4: Penetration close to ridge capping

If a roof penetration is close to a ridge capping (or flashing above the penetration), you can fit a simple flat tray, on top of the roofing, so that it extends from under the capping down to a sleeve around the penetration.
Figure 3.12.4
Flashing method 4: Penetrations close to ridge capping
18
3.13 Flashing small roof penetrations

A flanged cylindrical sleeve is a fairly simple method of flashing around small penetrations (such as pipe penetrations) which fit between the ribs of a roof sheet, or penetrate only a single rib. Two methods are described here. Wherever roofing is cut, you must consider providing extra support for the roofing above and below the penetration. Where one or more of the sheet ribs are cut, you must provide framing to support at the cut ends of the roof cladding each side of the penetration.
Method 1: Tapered metal skirt and sleeve

This method uses parts custom-fabricated from metal. There is no positive seal between inside the building and the outside atmosphere (Figure 3.13.1).
Method 2: Sleeve
This is often the simplest method (Figure 3.13.2). Flexible flanged sleeves can be bought for flashing around penetrations of at least 350mm diameter. They overcome the problem of capping and sealing the open ends of cut ribs. A sleeve is commonly used, though silicone sealant has a wider operating temperature range and is available in a wider range of colours. The flange around the base of the sleeve can be contoured by hand to match the cladding profile before it is sealed and fixed to the cladding. Be careful not to dam any valleys or pans so that rainwater can drain freely from the high side of the roof penetration. Moisture held in such areas can cause deterioration of the sheet coating, reduced life expectancy or poor appearance. Where damming of any valley or tray is unavoidable, due to the size of the pipe penetration, treat the installation as a large penetration.
Figure 3.13.1
Small penetration with metal skirt and sleeve
Copper penetrations
All copper pipe penetrations through zincalume or colorbond steel cladding must be physically and electrically isolated from the cladding. This can be done by using a sleeve of PVC polythene or similar plastic that is also ultra-violet stable.

3.14 Expansion
Background on thermal expansion
All metals expand and contract with changes in temperature. Although steel is by far the least affected of all the metals commonly used for roof and wall cladding, the changes in length experienced in very long runs of roofing are significant. On a clear hot summer day, with no wind, the steel temperature in roof cladding can reach approximately 50C in colorbond surfmist, 60C in plain zincalume and more than 80C in colorbond night sky. Examples of the thermal changes in lengths of steel cladding that would result from various temperature changes in the steel are shown in Table 3.14.1. The actual expansion or contraction between the end of a sheet and the last support would only be a fraction of the figures shown because the movement in the length of fixed cladding would normally take place from the centre towards each end of the sheet. The movement at each end is thus only half the total expansion or contraction. Transverse thermal expansion poses no problems in ribbed cladding because each rib absorbs some transverse movement.
Table 3.14.1
Thermal expansion and contraction of steel cladding
Table 3.14.2
Maximum distance between top & bottom rows of fasteners on a sheet, before expansion joint is needed
Expansion joints
Thermal expansion effects are mitigated by slight bending of fastener shanks, thermal movement of the building structure, and slight flexing of the purlins (where they are not restrained by cleats or bridging). However, for very long runs of roofing, you should include an expansion joint to overcome linear thermal expansion. Table 3.14.2 shows the maximum distance between the top and bottom rows of fasteners on a pierce-fixed sheet. For LONGLINE in distances of greater than 35m, please contact your Service Centre for advice. If the total length of two sheets pierce-fixed through the lap, or a single sheet exceeds this distance, then an expansion joint is needed. There should be no more than one pierce-fixed end-lap between expansion joints. An expansion joint involves overlapping the ends of the upper sheets over the ends of the lower sheetsbut with a clearance between them (about 15mm). A typical overlap is 250mm (this overlap is not the same as the overhang in Table 3.7.1 which does not apply to expansion joints). The clearance is usually created by having all the purlins for the roofing on the high side of the joint, higher than the roofing on the low side of the joint. An extra purlin is needed at the joint. A baffle flashing provides weatherproofing. See Figure 3.14.1. Where there is a risk of high winds, or the ribs result in a large opening, you may need protection, such as extra flashing or the inclusion of closed-cell foam infill strips.

3.17 Box gutters

LYSAGHT standard design
Box gutters are designed to suit large water carrying capacity requirements, usualy on commercial buildings. In effect, a box gutter operates like an open drain. Designing for a box gutter requires adequate support for the gutter be provided, both at the sides and below, to provide for the anticipated weight of the water collected. As with all gutters, adequate fall must be provided as well as a rainhead or other large capacity drainage system.

4. Typical wall flashings

4.1 Cladding orientation
Cladding is usually installed with the profile running vertically or horizontally, though sheets have been laid diagonallythe choice is aesthetic. Wind can drive rain hard against wall flashings, so it is important that you pay attention to the detailing of flashings around windows, doors, re-entrant and external corners, to ensure you get a watertight building. You also want a neat appearance. We make wall flashings for some wall claddings (like easyclad and mini orb) which are sometimes called trims. Where these are not suitable, custom-made flashings can be easily produced following the general principles described in this section.
4.2 Walling profile running horizontally

It is usual to lay the first sheet at the bottom of a wall and work upwards towards the eaves. You want the window and door flashings to fit properly into the valleys, so you should locate the first sheet relative to the heads and sills of doors and windows. Thus, you first have to decide where the cladding will eventually be located at the heads of doorways and at the heads and sills of windows before you place the first sheet. Where possible, select the vertical size of windows so that the flashings at both heads and sills will coincide neatly with the pitch of your profile Be sure that the crests of the profile align with each other on adjacent walls, either side of a cornerthis ensures that horizontal flashings fit properly into all valleys. Where valleys create a void at flashings, use closed-cell foam plastic infill Where wind-driven rain can be expected, turn back the edges of flashing to restrict water movement past the flashing.

4.9 Flashing for horizontal corrugate cladding

Designers and contractors using horizontally fixed corrugate sheets as a design feature on industrial developments and commercial buildings, as well as in domestic situations should recognise that a high standard of quality of detailing and fixing of the cladding is required and that there are a number of requirements which differentiate horizontal from vertical profiled cladding. Because horizontal cladding emphasises the defects in the line of the framing to a far greater extent than does vertical cladding, the plane of the supports both horizontally and vertically should be straight within a tolerance of 5mm in 10 metres, and there should be little or no twist between the vertical and horizontal planes of framing members. The cladding contractor should inspect and approve the standard of framing before the commencement of any cladding installation. Horizontal cladding should be fixed in the pan as this provides a stronger, more economical and aesthetic fastening than crest or rib fixing. The number, spacing and the position of the fasteners are determined by the wind design load for the building. A simple and aesthetically acceptable butt detail to join horizontal cladding is to provide a vertical break at structural steel frame centres by the use of a top hat or tee flashing section, but it is necessary to establish the exact sheet length required, and for these sheets to be cut accurately to within 1mm to provide a neat joint. When horizontal metal cladding is directly fixed to a lined and insulated wall, designers should be aware of the likelihood of condensation and it is recommended that horizontal laps should be sealed with lap tape or sealant.
4.10 Flashings for vertical cladding

The flashing detailing for vertical cladding is similar to roof cladding penetrations, as the water from the under has to drain over at the window or door head. The most satisfactory detail is to provide a sheet lap at the head flashing, which enables automatic weathering by profiling the vertical upstand of the head flashing or by flattening the lap. This detail can be used for corrugated, ribbed and trapezoidal cladding. Do not stop end the flashing but turn it down as drawing 4.10.1 and 4.10.2

4.12 Window flashing types

Window flashings have been divided into three types: (a) flush mounted, (b) recessed or reveal and (c) butt. The height of the window should determine the module set-out of horizontal cladding. The sequence of flashing around penetrations such as windows can determine the design, as good weathering details can only be achieved if the windows are installed after the metal cladding and flashings. The installation of a head flashing requires that it is behind the cladding and weathers the window by exiting over the cladding, with the thickness or depth of the cladding determining the offset, which should have a fall to the front of a minimum of 10. When lapping horizontal cladding it is therefore logical to lap the cladding at the window or door head height. Windows and doors can be flush in line with the cladding or recessed to the front of the frame and if the window is within the depth of the wall of the building, the flashings are termed reveal or recessed flashings. Recessed and flush flashings have the same overflashing design, and a recessed design has the advantage of a better weathering detail but can result in areas of unwashed metal, which require maintenance for durability. The butt flashing details commonly used on horizontal cladding of industrial or commercial buildings are not considered suitable for residential closed cavity construction, because they do not overflash the metal cladding. All exposed horizontal metal flashings including the head or sill flashings must have a minimum 10 pitch to avoid ponding and the build up of dirt and debris. All sills should be riveted and sealed to provide a weather-tight joint.
Figure 4.10.2
Flashings for vertical cladding
4.11 Window flashings for metal cladding

Profiled metal cladding has been used for many years as both vertical and horizontal cladding, particularly on garages and farm buildings where the aesthetic requirements and weathering may not have been the prime consideration. As most of these buildings are open and unlined, the cavity is naturally vented and minor water ingress can be tolerated, but if the building is lined then there should be no ingress of moisture. For this reason for lined and insulated buildings in higher risk areas cavity construction is required. Buildings are considered to be higher risk when they are situated in a very high wind design load areas (<1.5.kPa.) and buildings that are two stories or more. The weather-tightness of horizontal cladding is totally dependent on the flashings that surround the sheets and any penetrations and because it is susceptible to the accumulation of condensation a cavity is required for all lined buildings. Metal wall cladding should have some provision to remove condensation, which will occur when the humidity is high or when there is a large diurnal temperature differential. If the wall is insulated and the building is heated, the frequency of occurrence of condensation forming on the metal cladding will increase.

4.13 Flush window flashings

The height of the sill flashing may have to be altered to suit the position of the profile. Flush mounted windows or doors can have picture frame flashings, which means that the window frame is mounted externally to the cladding, or can have timber facings, or a large number of alternative designs.
Both the flush and recess flashings have an under jamb and a front or face jamb. Trim sizes for aluminium windows are usually plus 10mm on the jamb liner size, however in order obtain a vertical upstand the trim size for flush flashing design requires plus 15mm vertically, to allow for a 10mm packer.

4.14 Recessed window flashings

A recessed window flashing design is considered the best option for horizontal cladding but accurate flashing measurement and installation are required to provide weather-tightness. N.B. For lined buildings a cavity is required for horizontal metal cladding.

4.15 Butt window flashings

Alternative details that allow the cladding to terminate up to a flashing without overflashing it, require accurate fitting in order to be weathertight. (see Figure 4.15.2). These details are known as butt flashings and can be used on flush or recess designs, with a one-piece jamb. They are only suitable for areas with low or medium wind design loads or in protected areas and require precise design, precision measurement and manufacture to provide a weather-tight solution. Butt window flashings also require accurate installation to provide an aesthetically acceptable solution, they should allow for drainage of a large catchment, they require extra timber for fixing, and for these reasons they are not a preferred detail. The total amount of water draining from the catchment area above from multi-storey construction can be considerable, and butt flashings should dispose of it as a penetration. The catchment is calculated by multiplying the width of the window opening by half the height.

4.16 Flashings for vertical cladding

Window and door flashings for vertical cladding are similar to those used for horizontal cladding however a cavity is not required for vertical cladding. The main difference is that the module is running horizontally and therefore some flexibility is required if the flashings are to be equal on both sides. To provide for this the trimming size of the window opening should be plus half the module dimension to allow adjustment for equalisation on both sides to occur.

4.17 Alternative Flashing designs

There are other alternative design options to those shown that designers should consider for butt designs which provide a weather-proof window flashing alternative. If the opening is panelised the vertical jamb flashing can be extended from soffit to the ground for single storey buildings or to a module break in a multi-storey building as shown in drawing 4.16.1. This alternative provides the opportunity to use the same or an alternative material at the head and sill areas and a top hat flashing is used to obtain a module break.
