Description
24 Gauge Galvalume Z-Closure Flashing
Z-closure flashing, also known as screed angle or bent plate, is used to seal joints between horizontal planes at different heights. Used in both roof, terrace and façade systems, Z-closure owes its name to its characteristic “Z” shaped profile.
When ordering custom Z-closure flashings, please make sure to tell us the correct dimensions in the comments at checkout. When selecting a “Custom 8”“ product, the sum of the dimensions must be 8”, for “Custom 12”“, the sum of the dimensions must be 12”, and so on.
Galvalume Z-Closure Flashing Features
Engineers employed by Northshore Sheet Metals spent many hours developing the ideal z-closure flashing design. As it turns out, designing the ideal profile of curves and angles is not that simple – the standard 90° does not guarantee optimal water runoff, as water droplets tend to collect in corners and crevices, which over time, can lead to leaks, completely defeating the purpose of installing zinc-coated aluminum screed angles.
Our products are also distinguished by excellent design. When it comes to bent plates, aesthetics are very important because much of the flashing is exposed. For this reason, a perfectly smooth zinc coating is a particularly desirable feature that improves the overall curb appeal of the building and enhances the aesthetic value of the roof. In many cases, z-closure flashings are installed on custom metal roofs, which requires a perfect color match. With the palette of 28 base shades we offer, however, this will not be a problem.
Screed angle flashings manufactured by Northshore Sheet Metals also offer the highest possible level of protection for all connections against the elements, such as rain, snow, ice, hail and high winds. The 0.025” thick galvanized steel sheet itself provides a sturdy barrier against external threats, and with the zinc coating, the level of security is even higher. Our flashings impress with their corrosion resistance – a thick layer of resin in some cases allows for a 50 years of lifespan!
When to use Z-Closure Flashing?
Z-Closure flashings used primarily as a complement to roof systems, sealing connections between flat roofs and parapet walls, at chimney penetrations and in other places where it is necessary to achieve a perfectly tight connection between two flat, horizontal surfaces.
Screed Angle Flashing Made of Zinc Coated Galvanized Steel – Durability and Beauty
Z-closure flashings made of 24 gauge galvanized steel with zinc coating outclass competing products with their longevity, durability and aesthetic workmanship. This is one of the most advanced materials used in our industry, and with the production of tens of thousands of linear feet of gutters, flashings and roofing sheets, we are able to provide you with above-average materials at an attractive price.
Z-closure flashings manufactured in our company are offered in various sizes. In addition to predefined proportions, we are able to provide you with flashing in any size and with any curvature, enabling you to realize even the most complex roofing projects.
For even greater durability and aesthetics, our z-closure flashings are coated with a thick zinc coating that offers superior corrosion protection for many years. The process of galvanization makes our screed angle flashing protected from direct sunlight, water and salt.
The thickness of the sheet metal we use is also not insignificant. Engineers employed by North Shore Sheet Metals have spent hundreds of hours selecting the ideal galvanized steel sheet thickness that offers the perfect compromise between weight, bending resistance, brittleness and price. As a result, by choosing step tins made from 0.025” (24 Ga) galvalume steel you are assured that your customer will enjoy many years of trouble-free use of their roof, no matter where they live.
