cladding details - help to source examples required 1

[steve101]

i'm looking for examples of cladding and flashing finishes for where cladding , flashing and foundations meet. been searching for examples to confirm / back-up my solution and have started tearing a few hairs out. probably an architectural database or online forum or similar would be useful? i've tried maufacturers web sites but have limited sucess. it's just steel frame industrial building. could you suggest any weblinks / codes of practice ?

What kind of cladding are you using? Is it sheet metal, EIFS, etc?
I think you're on the right track by using the manufacturer's information. If the manufacturer doesn't have adequate information, check their competition. Be very careful. These are the kind of details that can be the difference between a successful project or a litigated disaster.

The CDA (Copper Development Association) has lots of architechural info: online info, a hardcopy Design Handbook, and supplier links.

If you browse through to ‘Building Products Database,’ flashing is in division ’07 Thermal/Moisture Protection.’ Some supplier websites:

These AEC (architechure engineering construction) sites offers CAD details for flashing & weepholes, manufacturers, etc.
