Description
Flashings are vital roofing components designed to protect, seal, and finish off exposed joints and edges on a roof. They provide both a functional and aesthetic purpose by ensuring water is directed away from vulnerable areas, preventing leaks, and giving the roof a neat, professional appearance.
Used in areas such as ridges, hips, valleys, verges, sidewalls, and connections between the roof and walls, flashings form a weatherproof barrier against rain, wind, and dust. Manufactured from durable steel and available in a variety of colours to match roofing sheets, flashings are essential for maintaining the longevity and performance of any roof system.
By covering overlaps and transitions, flashings not only prevent water ingress but also reduce the risk of corrosion and damage to the roof structure. They are designed to complement roof sheets and tiles, enhancing both durability and appearance.
Types of Flashings commonly used:
-
Ridge Flashing – covers and seals the apex of the roof.
-
Barge Flashing (Verge) – protects the edge of the roof at gables.
-
Valley Flashing – channels water down internal roof valleys.
-
Sidewall / Apron Flashing – seals the join between a roof sheet and an adjoining wall.
-
Counter Flashing – overlaps apron flashing for extra waterproofing at walls or chimneys.
