Eave flashing gives a finished look along the drip eave of the house, as well as providing protection for the materials they cover. The eave flashing should completely cover the top edge of the fascia. Inside closures, which seal off the open ribs of the panels, are optional.
Gable flashing is used to trim the edge of the roofing panel at the gable end of the roof. It should match the eave flashing that extends along the drip edge of the roof. If the panel is allowed to hang over the gable end, eave flashing can be used instead. Butyl tape between the trim and the panel eliminates leaks.
Peak cap is used on the top leading edge of “mono” roof systems to prevent the penetration of moisture and foreign objects.
Used to seal the point at which two upward slopes meet, which can be both along the ridge of the roof as well as covering for the hip. Either woodgrip or self-drill lap TEK screws are applied through the ribs of the metal. Since debris, insects, and blowing rain can find easy access under the ridge cap, closures are required to either completely or partially seal the opening. Closures under ridge caps come in two types: solid and vented.

Sidewall flashing is applied when the side of the roof butts up against an adjacent wall. The wall side of the flashing can either be covered over with siding or sealed with caulk. Butyl tape should be applied where the “foot” of the flashing attaches to the roof.
Valley Flashing is the standard flashing used in valleys to protect against any moisture penetration. Expanding closures are used to provide a good seal.
Base flashing is used as a trim on the bottom of wall panels to prevent any rodent access. Also used as a gable end wall divide.
Drip cap is a flashing used along the eaves and rakes to allow water run-off to drip clear of underlying construction. Commonly, it is used to trim out the bottom of panels over doorways and windows, and occasionally takes the place of base flashing at the bottom of a wall.
J-Trim is used to cap raw panel edges where run-off is not a problem. Most commonly, j trim metal is used to cap the top edges of skirting, the top and sides of doors, the bottom and sides of windows, and in many cases the top of windows for aesthetics and continuity.
Used to finish an outside corner when minimum coverage is required. Straddles the ribs of the panels where they meet at the corner of the building.
