Window Detailing Considerations for Leakage Prevention

Source

The focus of this paper is on the design development considerations for window detailing to prevent water leakage. Architectural design and detailing considerations discussed include: performance criteria; secondary flashing systems; integration with facade waterproofing; air seals; sealant selection and joint geometry; mullion and stack joint options; fastener locations and selection; and effects of product non-performance. Each of the design considerations are discussed with their effects and role on the waterproof integrity of the building facade. Examples of conceptual details to address waterproofing issues are provided.
