While these hidden components add little to the building's visual appearance, wall flashings are essential parts of its weather protection system. Often, decisions made in the name of cost efficiency provide very modest monetary savings when compared to the resulting degradation in reliability and durability.

The presentation takes a critical, balanced look at various flashing system options, detailing the associated advantages and drawbacks.
