Through-Wall Flashing for Masonry Cavity Walls
This course is no longer active. AEC Daily will not report completion information for this course.
Water leaks and damage are some of the biggest problems encountered with masonry construction and cavity walls. The proper choice and installation of flexible through-wall flashing, however, can ensure that moisture is directed out of the wall cavity and the risk of potential damage is minimized.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Define the term through-wall flashing and state its importance to masonry construction and its role in maintaining a healthy indoor living environment.
- Describe four situations leading to water penetration of a brick cavity wall and water being blocked from exiting it.
- Identify all locations where flashing is required in a brick cavity wall, noting other system components and connection to the water-resistive barrier.
- Recall flashing selection considerations including water resistance, durability, compatibility, movement capability, material type, and cost.
