flashing over windows and doors - timber cladding

[marmic]

hello all,

 

anyone know please if a preformed flashing like this/similar is available off the shelf from anywhere? so far not found..........  (25mm vertical battens + 21-25mm horizontal cladding/reval boards).  ideally anthracite grey to match windows and roof.   or if not best/easiest/recommded thing to use?  be interested of course to know what others have used please................... many thanks

I used a wide DPC

 

Not the best photo, but should give you the idea

A slightly more advanced photo with more of the battens in place, you will insect mesh as well to wasps out etc.

many thanks - was thinking that as a possibility if I couldnt find a more purposeful trim and already have a roll here.......  I did same on a garden office (posh shed!) few years ago at last place but wrapped it down over and stapled to the front edge of the reveal board (which were gravel boards!) - not sure how well it will withstand UV / full exposure etc.
