Category: Flashing

Flashing refers to thin, impermeable constructs that are used to prevent the infiltration and leakage of water into buildings, and to direct water away from joints and intersections between walls and roofs. Flashings play a crucial role in connecting different roof materials and members, especially in areas such as skylights, chimneys, facility valves, and air vents, where they are extensively used. They serve as longitudinal members to prevent water penetration and ensure waterproofing in these critical areas.
