What Are Drip Edge Flashings?
Kynar 500 steel drip edge flashing, also called “baldy cleat” by roofers, is the most common type of flashing, which is used on the edges of most roofs covered with asphalt shingles, some types of membranes and even DaVinci or Brava synthetic cedar shakes. Correctly installed drip edge flashing made of steel directs water directly into the gutter, so it doesn’t trickle down the walls, fascia and soffit. In this way, the most sensitive parts of the home exterior are protected from moisture.
Steel Drip Edge With Kick
The use of a kick portion at the end of the 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 drip edges we produce are offered with a kick. However, upon request, we can produce flashing without this element. In addition, we offer both drip edges 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.
