Door flashing can also help to create lower utility bills since you won’t have an exchange of air flowing through the doors. Installing door flashing isn’t a difficult process, and most people can accomplish this on their own in just a few hours. Here’s what you need to do.

Step 1 - Remove Old Flashing

Before you can install flashing you will need to remove any old flashing that’s in place. Depending on what type of flashing and how it was installed the method to remove it will vary.

Step 2 - Cut the Wrap

You will need to cut the house wrap. This needs to be done at the header with a 45 degree angle. This will create a flap. Use masking tape to temporarily place the flap out of the way.

Step 3 - Apply the Flashing

With the wrap out of the way you can begin to work on the door flashing. First you want to use the cleaning solution to clean around where the flashing will be installed. This will allow the sticky side of the flashing to adhere better. Make sure it’s completely dry before you start to attach the flashing. You will want to lap the flashing on the door jambs.
Follow the directions provided by the manufacturer for installing in in the rough opening of the door.
You will want to use the self stick flash on the side jambs next. The flashing will need to overlap the edges of the sill and go down past it by at least one inch. Make sure it extends past the head by at least two.

Step 4 - Drip Edges

Install a drip edge that extends at least two inches on each side of the door. You will want to tuck this under the house wrap flap that you made in step 2. Doing this will prevent any water from damaging the heading of the door because it will just run away from the heading.

Step 5- Install Flashing at Header

Use the peel and stick flashing at the door header now. This needs to overlap the drip edge and the house wrap. The flashing in this area should be extended at least an inch beyond the jambs.

Step 6- Finishing Touches

You can now fold the wrap flap back over. Tape this down so that the material will overlap the flashing at the header.
And now you’re done. You can stand back and enjoy the fact that with a few simple steps and cheap material you’ve secured your door, walls and entryway against weather-related problems.

When you are creating the frame for your garage, you need to fit a garage door header. The header is the large wooden beam above the door of your garage, which supports the walls and ceiling above, and helps to support the weight of any extensions which go over the garage. Fitting the header properly can be a very difficult project to undertake, as a garage door header which is too small can result in sagging, or even serious structural damage to your home. Framing the garage door correctly, can ensure that the header is not put under any additional strain, although you will still need to have a lot of help in creating the right kind of fitting for your header.

Step 1 - Measure the Opening

When you begin your framing, you need to work out the right size and shape for the header. This will depend upon the type of garage door you are using. A roll-up door, for example, will fit against a rough opening, while the double garage door will need to be fitted into the opening. This can affect the position of the header. Carefully measure the length of your door, as the header must be at least 9 inches longer than that, and at least 1 1/2 inches higher than the door. This allows the header to take the weight of your wall. Go to your local building office, and ask about the dimensions of the garage door header. They should be able to offer you advice which will prevent sagging.

Step 2 - Preparing the Header

Take the pieces of board which will form your header, and place 1 piece on your worktop. Cover this with wood glue, and then press the next piece onto it. Do this until you have built up your header. Make sure that all the pieces are positioned closely together, so that they make up 1 board. The ends and the sides need to be flush with each other, in order to achieve this. Then, nail the pieces of wood together. Take careful measurements every few strikes, in order to ensure that the wood remains level. Then, trim down the header until it is the right size, removing any corners that might not fit into the rough opening. Position the header into the opening, and make a note of further removal needed from the opening. Take down the header, and make the final trims.

Step 3 - Add Framing

Around the sides of your door, add enough lumber to support the weight of the garage door header. You need at least 2 rows of wood, to hold up the header on each side, making up 4 studs on each half of the header. The smaller studs should be placed under the header as supports, and the larger stud should be used to nail the ends of the header to the frame of the surrounding garage. Use screws to hold this wood in position. You need to have double trimmers, known as cripples, due to the amount of weight pressing down on the studs.
