Windows Lentil Flashing
Installation of window lintel flashing was completed to protect masonry walls from water penetration around window openings. The project improved moisture control and helped extend the lifespan of the brick facade.
Project Details
Areas around windows are particularly vulnerable to moisture infiltration because rainwater can accumulate above openings and seep into masonry walls. Without proper protection, this moisture can weaken mortar joints, damage bricks, and lead to long-term structural issues.
This project focused on installing flashing above the window lintels to create a protective barrier that directs water away from the masonry structure. Flashing systems are designed to prevent moisture from entering the wall while allowing proper drainage from the brick facade.
During the work process, the masonry around the window opening was prepared to ensure that the flashing could be properly integrated with the existing brick structure. Careful installation was necessary to maintain the structural stability of the lintel while ensuring the flashing system functioned correctly.
By adding proper lintel flashing, the project helped protect the building from moisture damage and improved the long-term durability of the masonry wall.
