Snap-Tite Trims

Roof Trims

Eave Flashing

MEEF1
/MEEF2

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.

MEEF1

  • Allows for approximately 4.625″ of roof coverage and 2″ of wall coverage.
  • Eave flashing can be bent to match roof pitch, which must be specified at time of ordering.

MEEF2

  • Allows for approximately 4.375″ of roof coverage and 3.25″ of wall coverage.
  • Eave flashing can be bent to match roof pitch, which must be specified at time of ordering.

Gable Flashing

MEGF3

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.

MEGF3

  • This Gable flashing allows for approximately 1.375″ of coverage.

Peak Cap

MEPC2

Peak cap is used on the top leading edge of “mono” roof systems to prevent the penetration of moisture and foreign objects.

MEPC2

  • Allows for approximately 6″ of coverage.
  • Can be bent to match roof pitch, which must be specified at time of ordering.

Ridge Cap

MERC1
/MERC2

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.

MERC1

  • Allows for approximately 4.5″ of coverage and recommended for solid closures.
  • Can be bent to match roof pitch, which must be specified at time of ordering

MERC2

  • Allows for approximately 6.5″ of coverage and recommended for vented closures.
  • Can be bent to match roof pitch, which must be specified at time of ordering.

Ridge Cap

MERC3

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.

MERC3

  • Allows for approximately 6″ of coverage.
  • Can be bent to match roof pitch, which must be specified at time of ordering.

Sidewall Flashing

MESW2

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.

MESW2

  • This Sidewall flashing allows for approximately 4″ of coverage

Valley 'W' Flashing

MEVF1
/MEVF2

Valley Flashing is the standard flashing used in valleys to protect against any moisture penetration. Expanding closures are used to provide a good seal.

MEVF1

  • Allows for approximately 11″ of coverage.
  • Can be bent to match roof pitch, which must be specified at time of ordering.

MEVF2

  • Allows for approximately 17″ of coverage.
  • Can be bent to match roof pitch, which must be specified at time of ordering.
