Abstract
A moisture guard for inhibiting water damage to the interior of a home or building caused by moisture, leaks, rain, snow or the like accumulating at a door frame, window frame or the like. The moisture guard comprises a metallic facing fixed to a plastic molding, such as ABS plastic. The sill of a window frame or the sill of a door frame is seated on the metallic facing. The moisture guard has a z-shaped cross-sectional area. An integrally formed upstanding rear flange is at the rear edge of the base and an integrally formed depending front flange is at the forward edge of the base. At an end of the base is formed an end flange with an upstanding vertical wall and with a vertical side wall. The height of the vertical side wall is coextensive with the height of the upstanding end wall and the vertical side wall extends to the depth of the depending front flange.
