Drip cap or not – GreenBuildingAdvisor

Hi,

These window are install below a 24″ roof overhang and normally I would still install a drip cap cover the window trim. The difference here in this case is the windows are install to a stained 6″x8″ wood beam which will remain exposed.

Would caulking (when the weather warms up) the exterior trim where it meets the wood beam and add a couple of additional coat of paint on the top of the trim be sufficient or should I still install a drip cap?

Thank you,

Arnold
