TYPES OF LEAD FLASHING

Lead roof flashing is an essential part of any roofing system and its purpose is to prevent the ingress of water into the structure from a joint, such as chimneys, vent pipes, walls that join roofs, and window and door openings. There are various types of flashing that are typically used in roofing applications including:

Apron Flashing – Used on chimneys or where a roof meets the brickwork of a house or building. It is used on slate and tile roofs where they meet a wall, on conservatory roofs, and around bay windows.

Step Flashing – Allows a roof to meet brickwork in situations where a lower roof runs into a wall, a roof meets a chimney, or a conservatory roof meets the wall of a house.

Chimney Flashing – Prevents water from entering the building at the point where the chimney meets the roof. Step flashing is typically used along the edges of the chimney stack.

Lead Valleys – One of the areas of most prone to leakage if not constructed properly, is the valley. It is an area where water is directed towards, rather than away from, therefore correct detailing is essential.
