Find answers to the most common questions about our services, processes, and how we can help you achieve your goals.

What is roof flashing used for?

Roof flashing is used to seal joints, edges and junctions on a roof, such as where a roof panel meets a wall, corner or another roof section, to prevent water ingress. It's a key finishing component in any sandwich panel or metal roofing installation.

What roofing accessories are included in this range?

This range includes flashings such as corner flashing and roof backbone covering flashing, along with fixings and trims including waterproof rivets, stitching screws, self tapping screws, an add-on gutter brace, and a centre joint trim. Each item supports a different part of a metal roof or panel installation.

What is the difference between internal and external roof backbone flashing?

Internal roof backbone flashing covers the joint along the ridge or backbone of a roof from the underside, while roof backbone covering flashing is fitted externally over the ridge to seal it from the weather above. Both work together to protect the highest point of the roof.

What is a corner flashing used for?

A corner flashing seals and finishes an external corner junction on a roof or wall panel installation, preventing water from tracking in at the angle where two panel runs meet. It's fitted over the corner joint as part of the standard weatherproofing detail.

What is a gutter brace used for?

An add-on gutter brace provides additional structural support to a guttering system, helping it carry the load of water and debris without sagging over time. It's fitted alongside the existing gutter fixings as a reinforcing accessory.

What is the difference between a stitching screw and a self tapping screw?

A stitching screw is used to join or "stitch" together overlapping sheets of metal roofing or cladding along a seam. A self tapping screw cuts its own thread as it's driven in, commonly used to fix panels, trims and flashings directly to the supporting structure.

What is a centre joint trim used for?

A centre joint trim covers and seals the joint where two roof or wall panels meet along a central run, giving a weathertight finish and a neat line between panels. It's fitted along the length of the joint during installation.

Do I need flashing and accessories with every roof or wall panel installation?

Yes, flashings, trims and fixings are generally needed alongside roof and wall sandwich panels to properly seal joints, corners and fixing points and complete the weatherproofing of the installation. See our Wall Sandwich Panels and Roof Sandwich Panels ranges for the panels these accessories support.
