Abstract:
A prefabricated flashing product for an opening in an exterior surface of a structure includes a generally planar flange shaped to conform to the exterior surface, the flange extending outwardly from an entire perimeter of an aperture therein that corresponds to the opening, and a return that seals to the flange about the aperture and extends substantially perpendicularly therefrom toward an inward direction of the opening. The flange and the return are monolithically formed of a waterproof material. A method of integrating a fenestration product into an opening of an exterior surface of a structure includes inserting the flashing product described above into the opening, and inserting the fenestration product at least partially into the aperture of the flashing product.

Claim (Index 1):
A pre-fabricated flashing product for an opening having a top, bottom, and two sides in an exterior surface of a structure, the flashing product comprising:\n a generally planar flange having top, bottom, and side flange portions, the flange shaped to conform to the exterior surface, the flange configured to extend outwardly, in a plane parallel to the exterior surface, from an entire perimeter of an aperture therein that corresponds to the opening; a return having top, bottom, and side return members extending directly from the flange toward an inward direction of the opening,\n the top, bottom, and side return members corresponding to the top, bottom, and side flange portions, respectively; and \n the top and side return members including an end dam, and the bottom return member including a return stop, each of the end dams and return stop configured to block moisture from ingress into the opening; the flange, the return, the end dams, and the return stop (1) configured to provide continuous flashing about opening, and (2) being non-perforated waterproof material.
