Tapered Steel Flashings
What Are Tapered Steel Flashings?
Tapered steel flashings are custom-shaped metal components used in roofing and cladding systems to weatherproof and protect building edges, joints, and transitions. Their tapered design allows for precise fitting in complex architectural areas, such as sloped roofs or curved surfaces.
Key Features
- Custom Fit: Designed to match specific roof pitches and wall angles.
- Durable Materials: Typically made from galvanised steel, Plastisol Coated for corrosion resistance.
- Weather Protection: Redirects water away from vulnerable areas to prevent leaks and structural damage.
- Aesthetic Finish: Offers a clean, professional look that complements the building’s design.
Common Applications
| Location | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Roof valleys | Channel rainwater efficiently |
| Parapet walls | Prevent water ingress at wall tops |
| Bullnose or curved roofs | Provide tailored coverage for unique shapes |
| Wall intersections | Seal and protect corners from moisture |
Materials & Finishes
- Galvanised steel – cost-effective and strong
- Plastisol Coated steel – available in a range of colours
- Aluminium or stainless steel – for coastal or industrial environments
Design & Installation Tips
