International Flashing Awareness Day
Gain New Flashing Insights
International Flashing Awareness Day is dedicated to spreading knowledge about the essential role of proper flashing installation in building construction. Flashing helps prevent water damage, mold growth, structural damage, and more.
Our series will feature 4 expert-led webinars, each focusing on different aspects of flashing. Whether you’re a builder, contractor, architect, or simply interested in building integrity, this event is for you!
Register now individually for your preferred courses or join us for all four webinars and make it a Flashing Day to remember!

Through Wall Flashings & Transition Membranes: Selection & Installation
10:00-11:00 ET
Meagan Elfert, CDT, MBA, CBS, Vice President of York Flashings
Properly designed and installed through-wall flashings and transition membranes are critical components of a durable and effective building enclosure. This presentation provides a detailed overview of the challenges and solutions associated with flashing and transition membrane systems, including material selection, performance requirements, compatibility considerations, and installation best practices.

The Interface: Roof-to-Wall Edition
11:15-12:15 ET
Adam Ugliuzza, PE CPHC, SBP, Partner, Building Enclosures Group
Today’s buildings are more complex than ever, incorporating multiple layers of materials, numerous trades, tighter schedules, higher performance expectations, and greater cost sensitivity. While material and assembly performance is often based on published product data, that performance can be significantly reduced, or lost entirely, without effective transitions, terminations, and flashing details at critical interfaces. This presentation examines the evolution of building enclosure design and materials, with a focus on roof-to-wall transitions.

Project Experiences With (or Without) Flashings
12:30-1:30 ET
Melissa Payne, BECxP, CxA+BE, CDT, Building Enclosure Consulting
Today’s construction projects incorporate hundreds of materials and products within the building enclosure. Among the most critical, yet often overlooked, components is flashing. When improperly designed, detailed, or installed, the results can include water intrusion, material deterioration, costly repairs, and project delays. This presentation examines real-world project experiences highlighting the consequences of missing, misplaced, or improperly installed flashings.

The Humble Drip Edge: Details that Quietly Complete High-Performance Envelopes
1:45-2:45 ET
Chris Bubser, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, Senior Technical Architect, LHB Corp.
Drip edges have been in use for centuries, but we often take their quiet contribution to building performance for granted. While some designers resist using them due to their aesthetic impact, some critical components of the building enclosure will not function properly without them. This presentation will focus on the connection between drip edges and air tightness, and how external elements like flashing can improve the function of internal components.
