Ridge Flashing The Purpose of Ridge Flashing. Ridge flashings are fitted primarily to maintain a watertight roof. Without a flashing fitted, rain water would run down the higher area of roof tiles, and just disappear into the house/commercial unit interior through the roof

Bargeboard is a board fastened to the projecting gables of a roof to give them strength, protection, and to conceal the otherwise exposed end of the horizontal timbers or purlins of the roof to which they were attached.

Corner Flashing are used as with all flashings to keep water out of the internal part of a building. They are also used to cover/tidy up where two walls meet and can also add an element of strengthening.

Drip Cill (drip sill) flashings are fitted to the bottom of a wall cladding run to divert water away from the wall. Drip Cill flashings are attached behind the sheet at the bottom of the wall and then extend beyond the cladding.

Inverted Corner Flashing Wall abutments are similar to bargeboards but are used when you need to trim and seal steel sheets that finish against a wall. The welts are on the reverse side to bargeboards. Internal (or inverted) corner fashings are essentially wall abutment flashings used vertically instead of horizontally. Internal corner flashings are used where two walls intersect. .

Wall Abutment Flashings are folded flat sheets used to cover the joint between the wall and the roof at the gable ends of buildings to prevent water running down the wall into the building

Eave and Drip Flashings are used on the overhang, at the side or ends, and at the edge of the roof to protect the facade from a wide range of weather conditions. They provide support for the shingles, and create a roof drip edge that helps channel water into a gutter or away from the facade.

A comprehensive list of different types of flashings

Roof flashing

– Placed around discontinuities or objects which protrude from the roof of a building to deflect water away from seams or joints and in valleys where the runoff is concentrated.

Wall flashing

– May be embedded in a wall to direct water that has penetrated the wall back outside, or it may be applied in a manner intended to prevent the entry of water into the wall. Wall flashing is typically found at interruptions in the wall, such as windows and points of structural support.

Sill flashing (or sill pan)

– A concealed flashing placed under windows or door thresholds to prevent water from entering a wall at those points.

Roof penetration flashing

– Used to waterproof pipes, supports, cables, and all roof protrusions. Stainless steel penetration flashings have proven to be the longest lasting and most reliable roof flashing type.

Channel flashing

– Shaped like a “U” or channel to catch water (e.g., where the edge of a tile roof meets a wall).

Cap flashing (drip cap)

– Often used above windows and doors.

Drip edge

– A metal used at the edges of a roof.

Step flashing (soaker, base flashing)

– Pieces of flashing material which overlap each other in “steps”.

Pipe flashing (pipe boot, vent boot, pipe flange)

– A product used where pipes penetrate roofs.

Kickout flashing

– At the very bottom of a roof/wall intersection, the lowermost step flashing specially formed to deflect water away from the wall.

Through wall flashing

– Spans the thickness of the wall and directs water to weep holes.
