Generated explanation

Two sectional details show EIFS terminations at a window head and window sill in an insulated framed wall. Both details specify reinforcing mesh and base coat backwrapped at least 4 inches and fasteners for wind resistance. At the head, a drip edge is cut into the insulation and shaped in both EIFS layers, with sealant at the window junction. At the sill, metal flashing fastened under the window slopes outward over the EIFS and turns down at its outer edge. Caulk is shown at the window-to-flashing junction, with sealant beneath the flashing edge.
