Detailing Roof-Wall Transitions for Weather and Air Barrier Continuity
Roof-to-wall transitions are a common failure point for air leakage and water infiltration. This article explains how to detail these junctions for long-term durability, energy efficiency, and moisture control in sloped and low-slope roof systems. Challenges at Roof-Wall Transitions Control Layer Continuity Ensure the air, vapor, and water barriers are lapped and sealed in a […]
Air Sealing and Flashing at Garage-to-House Transitions
Garage-to-house transitions are often overlooked in air sealing and moisture control plans. These critical interfaces can allow vehicle exhaust, moisture, and unconditioned air into living spaces. This article outlines how to properly flash and seal the shared walls, floors, and ceilings at attached garages. Typical Air Leakage Risks Sealing and Flashing Strategies Code and Health […]
