Copper Step Tin Flashing

Description

Copper Step Tin Flashing

Step tin flashings are small pieces of sheet copper 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:
