About this detail

This architectural head detail frames an aluminum-framed storefront system attached below a heavy timber glulam beam. The storefront features a deflection header paired with backer rod and sealant matched to the storefront mullions. Waterproofing consists of WP-10 aluminum-faced self-adhered flashing wrapped fully into the rough opening alongside twenty-two gauge aluminum flashing with a three-part PVDF coating. The assembly includes a metal stud framed header with kickers spaced at four feet on center, five-eighths inch exterior gypsum sheathing, continuous mineral wool insulation, and batt insulation sized per Title 24 energy calculations. An interior aluminum pocket is provided for future tenant installation of a window shade, adjacent to extruded aluminum soffit panels on a suspended ceiling system.
