Concrete to wood frame details

In the images below are standard concrete to wall transition details created specifically for a pseudo-open joint rainscreen design using Hardie and metal. Notice how the WRB tape is sandwiched between the concrete and the metal and then a sealant fillet bead is placed outboard of the joint. This creates two layers of protection and provides you with a maintainable first line of defence in the form of the sealant joint. This design also creates an airtight joint reducing the possibility of air leakage.

So did you use on your new sliding glass door? Or is just for walls? Who knew keeping water out could be complicated :)
