WESTCON Announces Symposium on Sheet Metal Flashing Nov 16 in Berkeley

Metal flashings are seldom well understood by members of the construction industry, resulting in miss-applications, leaks and wind damage. In the 2010 Westcon Symposium, a group of industry leaders will attempt to bring clarity to sheet metal flashings, their uses, functions, code requirements, what is covered by principle industry publications, advantages and disadvantages of different metals, and how to integrate them into assemblies. Westcon has also created a number of sponsorship packages. This is an opportunity for members to be a part of the event in a new way that can promote your business.
