Flashing often a soft metal that can cover the gap and direct water away from wall or roof

used at intersections (and/or with a Drip edge)

*Rain-screen*...Air cavity keeps siding away from wall framing allows moisture to dry

Why are these numbers highest at roof?

energy saving

Types of Insulation Material : Batts or blankets or blown or Rigid (at Header over door) or foam expanding insulation

Header with Rigid Insulation

Insulation location : • Attic ..most critical area (as heat rises)• Exterior walls • Floors - separating unheated from heated areas• [doors & window - insulated & with weather stripping]

CRUSH LESS INSUL.
