Custom Exterior Flashings & Sheet Metal

Custom flashing and architectural sheet metal are critical components of a complete exterior wall system. They help manage water at windows, doors, roof-to-wall intersections, cladding transitions, parapets, penetrations, horizontal joints and other areas where exterior materials change direction or meet another building component.

Diamond Exteriors provides and coordinates custom exterior flashing and sheet-metal details as part of siding replacement, custom cladding, exterior renovations, building-envelope upgrades, multi-family projects and new construction throughout Kelowna and the Central Okanagan.

Exterior renovations frequently require more than standard off-the-shelf flashing profiles. Existing buildings can have unique dimensions, unusual wall transitions, multiple cladding materials and architectural details that require project-specific metal fabrication. Custom-bent sheet metal allows these areas to be finished cleanly while supporting the water-management strategy of the exterior assembly.

Diamond Exteriors uses custom flashing throughout projects involving fibre-cement siding, James Hardie products, metal cladding, architectural panels, wood and wood-look siding, stucco, masonry, soffit, fascia and rainscreen systems. Typical applications can include head flashings, sill details, horizontal transitions, inside and outside corners, cladding terminations, foundation transitions and connections between different exterior products.

Good flashing work should also coordinate with the weather-resistive barrier behind the cladding. Water needs a continuous path outward rather than being trapped behind siding or directed into the wall assembly. For that reason, Diamond Exteriors treats sheet metal, WRB membranes, rainscreen, sealants and finished cladding as interconnected parts of the exterior system.

Custom sheet-metal details are especially important on modern exterior designs using multiple materials. Metal can create sharp architectural lines while also providing practical transitions between panel cladding, siding, masonry, windows and other facade elements.

Diamond Exteriors provides complete exterior renovation and construction services for homeowners, builders, developers, strata and multi-family properties in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Lake Country, Peachland, Summerland and Vernon.

For projects requiring custom exterior flashing, architectural sheet metal, cladding transitions or complete siding replacement, Diamond Exteriors can coordinate the detailing with the surrounding building-envelope and exterior systems rather than treating the flashing as an isolated component.
