Drip edges are a critical detail in finishing the roof and another area where the wrong style or finish can stick out and welcome negative attention. Drip edges are L-shaped metal sheets installed at the edge of the roof. Commonly known as drip edge flashing or D-metal, these are a vital part of roofing that directs the water away from home and into the gutter. Roofing Direct has drip edges in a variety of pre-painted colors to effortlessly match the home’s paint color and provide an impressive finish.

Copper has an undeniable natural appeal that only increases as its finish becomes transformed by the elements.

Copper’s natural resistance to thermal changes keeps the material from deteriorating ensuring it lasts for several decades to come.
