About this detail

An overhead steel beam and structural column beyond provide the primary anchorage for a window head jamb assembly. A welded threaded stud with countersunk fasteners secures wood framing including a two-by wood nailer and a four-by wood header. An EFCO window frame attaches below using typical EF, F, or M clips and is sealed with typical sealant and backer rod. Interior finishes feature five-eighths inch gypsum wallboard, while the exterior layers comprise a metal soffit vent, one-half inch sheathing, a vapor retarder, and a three-coat stucco finish. A roller shade and guide assembly is integrated into the head framing adjacent to the window.
