Part 2 – Selecting and Flashing Window, Storefront, Window Wall, and Curtain Wall Systems through the Exterior Enclosure
Properly detailing and flashing glazed assemblies is critical to the long-term performance of the building enclosure. These systems must not only support architectural intent and daylighting goals but also effectively manage water at transitions and interfaces to help prevent leakage and durability issues. Because detailing conditions vary widely from project to project, design teams must understand how to apply core flashing principles to specific enclosure conditions.
In the second session of our two-part webinar series, we will share a brief recap of key selection and flashing concepts for glazing systems before exploring case study examples that demonstrate how these principles are applied in practice. Through project-specific examples, we will examine how glazing system selection influences flashing continuity, waterproofing strategies, and constructability across different wall conditions and design constraints.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Recall key differences between window, storefront, window wall, and curtain wall systems as they relate to flashing design.
- Apply general flashing principles to project-specific enclosure conditions.
- Identify common detailing challenges that can contribute to water leakage and durability concerns.
- Use case study examples to develop project-specific flashing details.
