French term or phrase: Rejet d'eau (sur fenêtre)
In a window: « Rejet d’eau encastré » is a feature that is added to the exterior side of a window sash to redirect water away from the window. Would this be "Waterproofing flashing"? "Waterproofing strips"?

I need something different than "Weatherstripping", which is "Coupe-froid" in French and which we are already using to identify other window components.

CONTEXT: website for custom wood window manufacturer in Quebec. The « Rejet d’eau encastré » is one feature in a list.

A quick Google search of « Rejet d’eau encastré » shows diagrams of the window components, for reference.

Thank you!

Looking at the question again, I've realised that I overlooked that this was a wood-frame window. So, it can't have the sort of "integral drainage channel" that's used for metal or PVCu windows and if this is at the bottom of the window, it would be a weatherboard or weather moulding. Also, I've been told to check out Dicobat (which I should have done in the first place), which translates "rejet d'eau" as "weather moulding".

But, how can a "weather moulding" be "encastré"? Well, it can if, instead of just being stuck on the bottom edge of the window, it is fitted into a recess specially designed to prevent water from trickling behind it, which is often a problem with plain weatherboards. So, rather than "integral drainage channel", I'd now suggest integral/integrated weather moulding.

neutral  B D Finch: It more or less goes without saying that holes are "recessed". This is rather more elaborate than mere "drainage holes".

Reference: A picture of what it looks like

Reference information:
This is what it is. I'm afraid I can't think what it's called in English. Also, as windows in France open inwards and windows in Britain open outwards, the design is liable to be different.

On the other hand, the picture in my reference above might not be what it is.

In the question, we are told "« Rejet d’eau encastré » is a feature that is added to the exterior side of a window sash to redirect water away from the window." Problem: if it's "encastré" it would appear to be integral and, therefore, not "a feature that is added to the exterior side of a window sash". Also, is this a sash window or a casement window? (The French have never really gone in for sash windows.)
