While they often go unnoticed, custom flashings are one of the most important components of any high-performance exterior system. These thin pieces of metal are strategically installed to direct water away from critical junctions—keeping moisture out and buildings dry.
What Are Flashings?
Flashings are installed where different building materials meet—such as around windows and doors, roof lines, corners, and at transitions between siding types. Custom flashings are fabricated to fit the unique angles, sizes, and materials of your specific building.
Why They Matter
Moisture Control: Direct water away from seams and openings
Air Sealing: Prevent drafts and protect against air infiltration
Durability: Extend the life of siding, windows, and wall sheathing
Code Compliance: Required in most Canadian construction standards
Accent Exteriors fabricates and installs precision-made custom flashings that integrate seamlessly into your building envelope—both functionally and aesthetically.
