Counter-flashing (or cover flashing, cap flashing) is a term used when there are two parallel pieces of flashing employed together such as on a chimney, where the counter-flashing is built into the chimney and overlaps a replaceable piece of base flashing.
Description: Stepped flashing is used where a sloped roof meets a masonry wall. A typical occurrence is where a brick chimney rises above a roof. The details shown concentrate on such chimney flashings, but apply to other wall conditions.
