An archable flashing is disclosed for flashing around rectangular windows and doors and arch top windows and doors. The flashing has an elongated cap with an outside drip edge formed of a rigid plastic material. A flexible flange made of a flexible and stretchable plastic material is bonded to the inside edge of the cap and a rigid plastic nailing strip is bonded along the distal edge of the flexible flange. Spaced slits in the nailing strip subdivide it into segments and each segment is provided with one or more nail holes. The slits terminate at circular notches formed in the flexible flange adjacent to its junction with the nailing strip. The flashing is installed by placing its cap atop the straight or arched brick mould of a window or door while flexing the flange upwardly to rest against the adjacent wall. For arched brick mould, the flexible flange stretches differentially to accommodate the curve and the slits allow the nailing strip segments to separate. The flashing is then permanently installed by driving nails through the nail holes in the nailing strip segments and into the wall beneath. |
