Elevation® Base Flashing

Roll-formed 26-gauge galvanized steel base flashing installed along perimeter walls of balcony assemblies. Provides a flat, rigid, and uninterrupted substrate for the Elevation S60 waterproof membrane to bond to, compensating for framing gaps, inconsistencies, and omissions at the base of framed walls. Waterproofing performance is no longer dependent on perfect field conditions.

Description

Membrane adhesion at the wall-to-deck transition depends on what’s behind it. In practice, that’s framing with gaps, offsets, and missed blocking. The membrane can’t bridge those inconsistencies and bond reliably at the same time. That’s where most perimeter failures start.

Elevation Base Flashing gives the Elevation S60 membrane a surface it can actually bond to. The 6″ vertical leg and 3″ horizontal leg create a flat, rigid, and uninterrupted substrate along the full length of walled perimeters. It doesn’t matter what the framing looks like behind it. The membrane sees a consistent bonding plane, and adhesion is no longer a field-conditions gamble.

The galvanization spec (G90U, extra smooth finish per ASTM A653) is selected specifically for compatibility with the Elevation S60 membrane. It ships with the rest of the Elevation system from a single source, so warranty coverage stays intact without third-party material substitutions.

Features and benefits

Reliable membrane bond at walled perimeters

  • 6″ vertical leg and 3″ horizontal leg create a flat, rigid bonding surface for the Elevation S60 membrane, independent of framing quality behind the wall
  • Compensates for gaps, offsets, and missed blocking at the base of framed walls
System compatibility
  • G90U galvanization (extra smooth finish per ASTM A653) is fully compatible with Elevation waterproof membranes
  • Ships with the complete Elevation system from a single source; will not compromise system warranty
  • 26-gauge galvanized steel, roll-formed, made in the USA
