About this detail

A wood window head is anchored below a structural steel beam and a four-by wood header, with a steel L-angle welded to the beam providing secondary support. A two-by wood nailer and gypsum wall board finished with a J-bead frame the interior head condition alongside a recessed roller shade and guide assembly. The exterior transition features a three-coat stucco soffit over sheathing and a weather barrier, terminated with metal stucco J-molds and a soffit vent. A welded threaded stud with countersunk fasteners secures components near the window head, and the joint between the window frame and the stucco is sealed with sealant, a backer rod, and typical shims.
