What is Kickout Flashing?
A.-A critical location where moisture entry can do considerable damage is where a lower roof cornice stops in the middle of a stucco wall (vertical). Kickouts should be fabricated with watertight seems and be big and broad enough to handle water run-off from a variety of roof pitches. kickout flashing should be installed under shingles and behind existing roof flashing. For better results kick-out flashing should be installed by the roofer as the shingles are being laid up with a layer of a resistive barrier behind both, roof flashing and kick-out flashing. It will help keep water from running down the new stucco wall, add life to the original appearance of your stucco as well as protecting the existing frame from constant moisture.
