Description
Kynar500 Coated 0.032″ Aluminum Step Tin Flashing
Step tin flashings are small pieces of sheet metal that are arranged to resemble scales on the body of a fish. Overlapping each other, they form a tight and durable seal at the junction between the roof and a chimney or other vertical wall projecting beyond the roof’s outline. This particular type of roof-to-wall flashing is recognized by the distinctive “serrated” shape of the finished seal. You can see the correct arrangement of step tin flashings in the diagram shown opposite:

This is made possible by scale – each year, our company produces hundreds of thousands of linear feet of flashings, gutters and other sheet metal components.

Step roof flashings manufactured in our company are offered in six sizes. In practice, by far the more common choice 4″ x 6″ x 7″ step tins, which are used to seal roofs made by GAF roofing contractor Glenview as well as other companies installing asphalt shingles and cedar shakes.
For even greater durability and aesthetics, our step tin flashings are coated with a special Kynar500 coating that offers superior corrosion protection combined with rich, durable color that retains its appearance for many years. It’s a special blend of resins combined with dyes that won’t fade despite the passage of time, plus it won’t show dirt. Kynar500 PVDF is probably the best paint coating, which works even on those steel parts that are exposed to direct sunlight, water and salt.

Engineers employed by North Shore Sheet Metals have spent hundreds of hours selecting the ideal aluminum sheet thickness that offers the perfect compromise between weight, bending resistance, brittleness and price. As a result, by choosing step tins made from 0.032” (20 Ga) aluminum you are assured that your customer will enjoy many years of trouble-free use of their roof, no matter where they live.
