Resources

At FBD, we put all of our resources toward one distinct specialization: creating the most innovative and useful flashing products around.

We’ve worked in the construction industry for years, so we know that inferior flashing can compromise your entire siding project. Aluminum flashing can warp, and flashing that requires on-site fabrication wastes time. We know that, for you, every job comes down to the details. We can help you get this one right.

Our experts are available to answer any questions you might have via email or over the phone, so contact us today!

We create prefinished, galvanized steel flashing that is made to work with all siding installations – including fiber-cement siding.
FBD's flashing is made from premium G90 galvanized steel. Unlike aluminum flashing, galvanized steel flashing will <i> not </i> react with fiber cement siding. This means your siding project will last longer and look better!
Flashing By Design creates flashing specifically for fiber cement siding applications, helping keep cement fiber siding the proper distance from roofs, decks, concrete, and all other problem areas. FBD's patented slip sheets and 2 inch trim pieces ensure that manufacturers’ requirements are met and the siding is protected.
Yes. Some of the products we sell are approved for use with James Hardie® siding, and others are recognized for use by other manufactures as a Best Practice. Regardless of the type of siding you’re installing, FBD’s flashing is the best choice.
Yes. This patented design meets or exceeds all fiber-cement manufactures clearance requirements.
Yes, our patented slip sheet/plank flash works in almost the same matter as felt or house wrap. The difference is that we have a 1/4" lip at the top to stop wind driven rain from entering the wall cavity. We make it out of metal so that it won't collapse in the pocket. You see, felt, House wrap, or non ridged material collapse in the open pocket allowing water to penetrate the wall cavity. Not to say that felt and House wrap are not UV stable. Any UV light that is able to get through the butt joints will start to break down these products over time and fail. This is a product that is highly recommended by fiber-cement manufactures.
Yes. The difference between the two products is the kick out on the outer edge. Z-flashing has a 90-degree bend, allowing rain water to run down the wall of the house. Our drip cap, on the other hand, has a kick-out aspect that sheds water away from the house and windows, allowing the siding and windows to last longer.
