From fascia trays and foam fillers to plastic capped nails and roof sheet ridges, there's a multitude of different fixings and accessories to make the installation of your corrugated roof sheeting project as smooth, secure and reliable as possible. However, one completely vital roof sheeting extra comes in the form of apron flashing - a roof sheeting accessory that offers far more than just an attractive finishing touch.
Apron flashing - or continuous flashing - is a long L-shaped flashing strip that is dressed across the length of your roof sheeting where the sheet abuts the masonry wall. The length of flashing is designed to create a reliable watertight seal between the roof sheeting and the connecting wall, channelling rainwater away from the vulnerable gap that would ordinarily be there without the apron flashing. It also enhances the visual appeal of your roof sheeting by working as a smart, decorative element that allows the wall to flow naturally into the shape of your chosen roof sheeting.
Roof flashing is a vital part of any ordinary roof and mustn't be overlooked even in roof sheeting projects. If apron flashing is left out of your installation, you'll be open to roof leaks, water infiltration and and even flooding in the event of very heavy rain.
Whether you're working with bitumen roof sheets, PVC corrugated sheets, fibre cement sheeting or even multiwall polycarbonate sheeting, you need apron flashing that matches the specific requirements, dimensions and aesthetic qualities of your next project.
At Sheeting Giant, we offer a range of strong, UV protected and simple to flash over aprons to give you the leak protection properties you desire. Browse some of the most trusted brands in the sheeting industry, including Vistalux, Onduline, Solstice and more.
