About this detail

Vertical transition at a structural column intersecting an exterior wall assembly with a window head. The exterior wall consists of an EIFS finish applied over six inches of rigid insulation, an air barrier, and exterior glass fiber reinforced gypsum sheathing supported by metal studs with R-19 batt insulation. A slip track head integrates with the window system, incorporating backer rod and sealant joints, a metal top flashing, and a metal stud kicker braced back to the structure above a ceiling grid system. Lower down, a structural wind girt is tied back with a bent metal plate, and a metal trim edge finishes the transition alongside a weep hole through the insulation. The structural column sits adjacent to the wall assembly, maintaining a clear separation dimensioned at 1'-11 3/4" and 1'-3 39/64" from reference grid lines.
