Thruwall flashing is metal and I have it made up for each
particular situation. It is usually just like turnback, but
with a vertical part in the middle, then an extension to go
under the masonry and to the wall. The masonry sits on the
flashing. It looks something like this:

If you need to get thruwall flashing, I would call Capitol
Company and tell them what you want. They can have it ready
in a day or so. Typically, the part that is closest to the
wall is 5" wide with 6" extending up the wall. The part that
is exposed and goes under the cement roof tiles will be at
least 8" wide. Their number is: 836-8985.
If you want to know more details about it, I would be glad to
talk to you. Email me and I will send you my number.
