Description
16 oz / 20 oz Copper D-Style Drip Edge Flashing
Copper D-style drip edge flashing is actually an improved version of the classic T-shape drip edge. Used on the edges of roofs covered with asphalt shingles and sometimes slate and terracotta tiles, it efficiently diverts water streams away from the fascia, which could degrade from excess moisture.
The copper D-style drip edge flashings offered by Northshore Sheet Metals are also highly aesthetically pleasing additions that perfectly complement the aesthetics of your client’s roof. With classic proportions, the roof edge is finished to transition seamlessly into the gutter, making it unobtrusive.
Combining aesthetics with functionality, copper D-style drip edge flashing is the perfect addition to premium-grade asphalt shingles, slate tiles or terracotta tiles.
0.022″ / 0.27″ Copper D-Profile Drip Edge Flashing Features
The team at Northshore Sheet Metals has refined our “D” style drip edge flashings to outclass their competition. We believe that the essential function of any drip edge is to effectively direct water away from the roof and protect the fascia from soaking. For this reason, our products do this as well as possible. We achieved this with a perfectly designed shape and a smooth surface that facilitates the flow of water.
The D-shape drip edge flashings we manufacture also protect the edges of the roof from damage. A properly installed drip edge should extend a little beyond the outline of the roof panels, so there is a good chance that when hit by a branch, only the flashing, which is easy to replace or repair, will be damaged.
How to Use D-Shaped Drip Edge Flashings?
D-shape drip edge profile is used not only for securing the junction of the roof slope with the wall. You can also use it over windows, on chimneys and in other places where aesthetic and safe flashing is needed. When installing a 16 oz or 20 oz copper drip edge manufactured by Northshore Sheet Metals, make sure that the piece will be securely fastened with silicone or a suitably strong adhesive.
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 copper sheet thickness that offers the perfect compromise between weight, bending resistance, brittleness and price. As a result, by choosing gravel stop drip edge flashings made from 16 or 20 oz copper you are assured that your customer will enjoy many years of trouble-free use of their roof, no matter where they live.
