What Are Roof Flashings?
Roof flashings as metal pieces that are rectangular in shape and smaller than a shingle. They are used as additional water and damage protection in many places where surfaces on planes intersect on a roof. In plain speak - you'll find them at the edges, near a skylight, near a chimney, a vent fan, doormers, soil stacks, and if you are in a townhouse then they are also commonly used between town homes where one homes roof meets another homes roof or wall/siding.
