Product Information

Description: The horizontal top surfaces of walls are the most vulnerable point for water to enter the wall. There are a number of ways of protecting this surface with copper flashing alone, or in combination with stone or precast concrete.

Roof flashing is a thin material that roofers and builders use to waterproof areas of the roof, particularly areas that are at risk of leaks. Flashing directs water away from at-risk areas (such as where the roof plane meets a vertical surface) and allows it to flow off the roof and into the gutter. Installation Requirements: Fabricator is responsible for installing system, including anchorage to substrate and necessary modifications to meet specified and drawn requirements and maintain visual design concepts in accordance with Contract Documents and following installation methods as stipulated in the "Copper in Architecture" handbook published by the Copper Development Association Inc. (CDA). A copper termite shield may be required between the wood structure and the concrete or masonry. For Additional Information:There are different options for sealant. Traditionally, roofers used nails to secure the flashing to the roof, but now most commonly use roofing cement. Roofing Felt Underlayment: Asphalt saturated felt weighing not less than 30 lbs per 100 square feet.

In earlier days, birch bark was occasionally used as a flashing material. [7] Most flashing materials today are metal, plastic, rubber, or impregnated paper. [8]
