What Are Drip Edge Flashings?
Baldy cleat edge flashing, more commonly known as drip edge flashing, is used to protect the edge of a roof from leaking water. Used regardless of the type of rooftop material, copper drip edge flashings are an investment in the long-term safety of your roof and many years of trouble-free, comfortable operation. By directing water directly into the gutter, flashings protect fascia, siding and trim from moisture that could lead to mold growth.
Copper Drip Edge With Kick
The use of a kick portion at the end of the copper drip edge flashing ensures that dripping water is directed sideways rather than vertically downward. This protects sensitive wall components, such as fascia and soffit, from water penetration, which can happen if component joints are not perfectly sealed. This gentle bending of the sheet metal makes the building much better protected from moisture, which of course translates into a long and trouble-free life for the roof.
As standard, all the baldy cleats we produce are offered with a kick. However, upon request, we can produce flashing without this element. In addition, we offer both drip edge flashings with kick and with hem, as well as without hem. Both types of flashing cost exactly the same, and we can make hem regardless of the size of the items produced.
Whether you choose to buy copper drip edge flashing with or without hem, the price remains the same.
