Kick-out Flashings: Diversion Ahead

To obtain a copy of a specific publication, users should contact the publication's publisher directly.

Abstract
Wood-framed residential buildings rely on the continuity of weather barrier and roofing assemblies to protect structural materials from decay. Three-­dimensional, complex intersections can pose design and construction challenges. An important but often overlooked detail is where roof gutters meet rising walls, requiring a kick-out flashing to divert water traveling down the edge of the roof into the gutter, especially when using materials such as wood, stucco, cement board, or vinyl siding.
