Roof Flashings
Flashings are used to offer water protection, while also providing a pleasing aesthetic touch for any roof design. Some of the many variants we offer include barge ends, apron flashings, box gutters, and trim ends. These designs often come with the choice of two different varieties; curved or the traditional square shaped flashings.
Types of Flashing
At Queensland Sheet Metal, we stock a wide range of roof flashings and can design and manufacture a product that’s made to suit your measurements. Some common types of flashing include:
