The overall purpose of the class is to develop the ability to select and use proper means and methods of installing metal flashing, trim, and wall coping. The benefits and applications of flashing and coping, material handling and placement strategies, plan reading, and OSHA safety models will be covered. Three major conceptual schemes comprise the focus of this course: Substrate preparation and layout, installation methods and sequencing, and precision cutting and bending techniques. Although the major emphasis of the course will be on installing the most common building envelope systems, views on technique by class participants will be considered as well.
