Hello,

Is there a common detail for trimming below the sill of an exterior door when using a manufactured sill pan? I’m planning on using Sure sill sloped sill pan on a sliding door wall and would like to provide trim for my siding to terminate at below the door. 

My initial thought is to trim along the sill cutting a 5 degree bevel on the top of the trim piece. Install the trim a bit below the weep holes of the pan then run a bead of caulk to tie the two together. Keeping clear of the weep holes. Sound reasonable or is there a better solution?

I imagine I’ll have a similar question when I get to windows which will be taped sill pans with a back dam. Trim here will be different as it will go over the window casing. Bead of caulk there as well? Seems like in that case the sill pan is the last line of defense for the sheathing and framing and the sloped trim and caulk are doing the heavy lifting if installed properly. Haven’t researched this topic as much so maybe it is better covered. 

Thank you in advance.
