Custom Metal Flashing Product Information

Metal flashing is typically a thin metal sheet, usually very weather resistant and corrosion resistant, that is applied to different sections of a home’s roof that help to protect the underlying wood from water damage and exposure to the elements. Flashing is most often placed at the junctions where two parts of the roof are joined in order to prevent water from seeping into the seams, for example flashing would be put all around a chimney or air vent that protrudes from the roof structure to keep water from dripping down the sides of the fixture and into the gaps between it and the rest of the roof.

There is also drip edge flashing which has the same purpose but is typically found and placed around the edges of the roof near the gutters to help guide water directly into the gutter instead of down the side of the home’s exterior.

Metal Flashing (Including Copper!) Details

So what is the overall purpose of roof flashing? It actually serves two very important roofing needs.

To secure the roof underlayment, protecting against wind and other elements

Directs rainwater and eventual rot away from behind the gutter, the fascia, and shingles

Once the roof underlayment is put down, the drip edge flashing is then laid across the entire perimeter of the roof, securing it, and then slightly overlapped with shingles. While older homes may not have these installed, many modern building codes will require drip edge flashing on all future installations and repairs to prevent future structural water damage.
