The Amerimax 8 in. W x 12 in. L Galvanized Steel Step Flashing Shingle Brown is a purpose-built solution for sealing roof intersections with confidence. Designed for reliability in challenging weather, this single-piece flashing blends practical performance with a discreet, shingle-compatible brown finish that integrates seamlessly with asphalt roofing.
Why this step flashing stands out
-
Solid galvanized steel construction provides lasting corrosion resistance in exposed roofline environments, helping prevent leaks around vents, dormers, chimneys, and other roof penetrations.
-
Compact yet versatile dimensions at 8 inches wide by 12 inches long give you ample coverage for common flashing scenarios without excessive bulk.
-
Low-profile 0.018 inch thickness offers a balance between formability and durability, making it easier to fit and seal while resisting deformation over time.
-
Brown finish is chosen to harmonize with brown shingle roofs, helping the flashing visually blend into the roofline for a cleaner, professional look.
-
Multi-Purpose flashing type means this piece is suitable for various applications across standard residential roofing projects, reducing the need for multiple flashing styles.
-
One-piece design simplifies installation, lowers labor time, and minimizes potential leak points compared with assembled or multi-part options.
