About this detail

This storefront louver head detail transitions from a concrete slab overhead to a metal stud framed soffit and an exterior louver assembly. The concrete slab supports the overhead cold-formed metal stud framing, which is insulated and finished with gypsum wallboard by the tenant on the interior and exterior sheathing on the exterior face. A twenty-four gauge mechanically fastened sheet metal flashing is set in a full bed of weather barrier sealant above the louver head. High-temperature self-adhering membrane laps three inches minimum and laps over the sheet metal flashing four inches minimum. Backer rod and a minimum one-half inch silicone sealant joint seals the interface between the louver head and the adjacent construction.
