Sill/Head brake metal at various wall assemblies. #57

Hi @tfodden Can you help me spec the following (circled in red) brake metal locations?.... https://www.dropbox.com/s/0n13a4y80f94epa/20150707%20-%20flashing.pdf?dl=0

Would be ideal if the brake metal at the head was relatively thick (10 gauge?) without a hemmed edge. Was thinking the same profile would run continuous along the length of the building for all wall assemblies (polycarbonate/resin/storefront)

What would your recommend for the brake metal at the sill? Something that's tough enough to hold a straight edge at the brake and hold up to a little abuse. As well as something that won't corrode since it's touching grade as it covers the exterior foundation insulation.

Let me know if you'd like to have a phone chat for a more nuanced discussion.

Thanks.

Hi Ryan,

Yep, I see what you are talking about. .090 inch thick aluminum is a fairly standard thickness, takes a brake very nicely, and is very sturdy. It’s roughly equivalent to what used to be called 11 gage. And thanks for spelling “brake” correctly! J

That piece at the base probably wants to be stainless steel. And yes, people are going to accidently kick it or it will get hit with snow shovels, lawnmowers, etc. 1/8” thick sounds massive. I’m thinking 1/16” thick (16 gage).
