About this detail

Head condition of a wood window integrated with structural steel outriggers, hollow structural section beams, and a living wall assembly. A five-inch diameter steel outrigger and horizontal two-by-six-inch hollow structural section support the overhead framing. The window head features a finished plywood lining, a recessed roller shade assembly, and a recessed light pocket, with two-by-four nailers and flexible flashing providing weatherproofing. The exterior incorporates an insulated metal panel system attached via half-inch hat channels, alongside a living wall drainage channel supported by welded one-by-one-inch steel L-angles, Unistrut framing, and L-brackets. Sealant with backer rods and shims is applied at the window head interface to ensure weather tightness.
