Flashing Solutions in Yaletown
Window, Door, Penetration & Through-Wall Flashing — Sequenced Correctly
Nixon Exteriors provides flashing solutions in Yaletown, serving homeowners and property managers across Yaletown Proper, Marinaside Crescent, Homer Street Corridor, Roundhouse District and surrounding neighbourhoods. We install the head, sill, jamb, through-wall, and penetration flashing that directs water away from the wall — lapped and sequenced with the weather barrier so water always drains down and out. Yaletown's mid-rise and high-rise buildings face wind and rain from multiple directions — so every window, door, deck, and penetration is flashed to collect and drain incidental water before it reaches the structure. Windows, doors, and cladding are handled by one accountable crew, with $5M liability coverage and WorkSafeBC compliance on every job.
Why Yaletown Chooses Nixon Exteriors for Flashing Solutions
Windows, doors, and cladding handled by one accountable contractor — every layer of the wall detailed as a continuous system.
We deliver flashing solutions on converted loft condos, modern high-rises, townhouses throughout Yaletown. Yaletown's heritage warehouse conversions often need custom-sized windows that maintain industrial character while delivering modern energy efficiency and sound insulation.
Yaletown's mid-rise and high-rise buildings face wind and rain from multiple directions. Products must be specified for multi-directional weather exposure and urban noise reduction. We specify the flashing solutions detailing that handles those exact conditions.
Because Nixon installs the windows, flashing, and cladding, your Yaletown project is detailed as one continuous, warrantied system — no gaps between trades.
How We Approach Flashing Solutions
Leaks Start at Openings
Most envelope leaks begin at openings and penetrations, not in the field of the wall. Get the flashing right and the wall stays dry.
Sequenced with Every Layer
Because Nixon also installs the windows, doors, and cladding, flashing is sequenced correctly with each adjacent layer.
Drain Down and Out
Every flashing is lapped and sloped so incidental water is collected and directed back to the exterior, never into the assembly.
