Every building on the record

Soffit and fascia detail
Soffit and fascia at the eave corner — one of the four junctions below.

The barrier, the cavity, the flashing and the cladding are one package.

A rainscreen wall is a stack of layers, and every layer has an edge that has to be closed against the next. Four of those edges decide whether the wall stays dry.

  1. 01

    The roof-to-wall

    The roof sheds onto the wall, so the barrier comes down over the flashing’s upstand instead of stopping beside it. Wall and roof move differently, and a lap that opens a few millimetres is a way in.

  2. 02

    The opening head

    The head flashing falls to the outside and turns up at its back edge, with the barrier above lapping over that upturn. Flat, it holds water; laid the wrong way, it takes water behind the barrier.

  3. 03

    The penetration

    Every pipe, vent and fixture is a hole in the barrier. The patch goes on in the order of the layers, upper over lower, and it seals to the barrier — the water is already behind the cladding.

  4. 04

    The cavity base

    The cavity drains only if it is open at the bottom. Weeps blocked with mortar, offcuts in the cavity, or cladding run past the base flashing turn the drainage plane into a reservoir.

One trade owns all four edges, so nothing stops at the joint between two scopes.

Barrier, cavity, flashing and cladding come from one crew, so a call-back has one address. On a building with water in the wall, that is the first question to put to an envelope sub.
