About this detail

A storefront door system with a wood soffit integrates into a light gauge metal framed opening at the head and soffit condition. The jamb and head assembly features a head compensation channel. Weatherproofing is achieved using a fluid-applied weather-resistive barrier wrapped around the soffit, Perm-A-Barrier Ultra self-adhered flashing, and a separator sheet beneath stucco with a J-mold. Primary and secondary 3/8-inch continuous sealants with backer rods provide exterior and interior weather seals at the head junction, alongside an interior air seal. An L-angle set in three beads of sealant reinforces the perimeter connection.
