Today’s roofing systems are composed of multiple components, all designed to work together in keeping your home protected from harsh elements. While not often discussed, flashing is a component considered by many roofing companies to be vital in protecting various areas of the roof.
Breaks on the roof panel are some of the weakest areas of a roofing system. They are the valleys, the areas where exhaust pipes penetrate the roof and the parts where walls, chimneys and dormers make contact with the roof. Since these specific areas have gaps, they can be susceptible to leaks without adequate protection.
This is where roof flashing can help. Installed between the outer roof layer and the underlayment, these pieces of metal strips help seal off gaps in the areas mentioned above, the same way your roofing contractor will caulk vulnerable areas around gutter seams.
Roof flashing comes in a number of forms:
