Floating AL question.

I used the same molding on the top and the hatch opening - soft 1/2" aluminum angle, and placed the weatherstripping on the hatch. It looks cleaner that way when the hatch is open.

Do you guys use the same top molding on the rear of the wall -where the cut out is for the hatch? Is the weatherstrip then attached to the wall or the underside of the hatch overhang?

Where the hatch meets the wall I used Counter Top edge molding which has a 3/16" edge to cover the aluminum. The seal is attached to the bottom of the hatch. Several pics on my web site.

Denny some great pics on your website.

Thanks.
