Ideal for step flashing along roof edges where shingles meet walls, this piece is well-suited for round-the-house needs like around chimneys, roof vents, skylights, and dormer integrations. Whether you’re renovating an existing roof or installing new flashing with fresh shingles, this Amerimax piece provides a dependable seal and a clean transition from roof to wall.
Use scenarios include:
- Sealing chimney and vent penetrations on asphalt or metal roofs.
- Closing gaps at dormers or skylights where roof planes intersect.
- Retrofit projects where a sturdy, single-piece flashing solution is preferred.
Practical installation tips:
- Position the flashing so it slides under the bottom course of shingles and overlaps the top of the lower course to promote water shedding.
- Overlap adjacent pieces by at least 2 inches to maintain a continuous seal.
- Secure with appropriate fasteners and seal the joints with compatible roofing sealant for best results.
- Cut to fit with tin snips and smooth rough edges to prevent tearing or snagging during installation.
