Masonry walls are some of the most durable and long lasting, but they have one weak point: water penetration. Moisture generated from rain, humidity, snow and frost can wreak havoc on stone walls. In addition to the obvious sources, our climate’s freeze-thaw cycles put a great amount of stress on brick veneer structures. Without proper flashing, moisture and the structural stress it causes can migrate to the building’s interior, which can lead to costly repairs. Even with the best building practices, some water penetration can occur when not protected properly. This is where flashing helps. The function of flashing is to collect and divert any moisture from penetrating the wall or sill.
Complete Custom Metals uses only the best sheet metal products and installation practices to ensure that water from any source is diverted properly and your home or commercial property is protected from moisture.
