Selection and installation of peel-and-stick flashing membranes used on building exteriors. Peel and stick flashing tape: this article describes the selection and installation of peel-and-stick flashing membranes used on building exteriors to seal housewrap joints and to seal against air or water leaks around windows, doors, or other openings.
