Metal roof flashing can be use to seal gaps between roof walls. And 3 cap the block with membrane overlapping the first two pieces and bridging the gap between the block and the wall sheathing. When installing metal or rubber membrane roofs use continuous flashing rather than pieces of step flashing. Flashing joints are lapped 6 in the direction of water flow.

Install base flashing under shingles or over metal roofing material. These kinds of houses often have a roof that butts against a wall. Install kick out flashing at the end of a roof wall intersection to divert water away from the wall and into gutters. Usually 8 inch flashing will work but any size will work well.

Continuous flashing against a sidewall is one way to install a roof but it s not the correct way.

I then add a second piece of flexible flashing tape to cover the open corner of the metal flashing and i fold it down onto the subfascia. I fold a piece of metal flashing for the inside corner between the subfascia and the wall. 2 fold a vertical strip into the inside corner extending it above the top of the block so that the next layer of flashing will cover it shingle style.

Once even a small section of roofing cement fails you ll have a leak. Except where walls are brick the vertical part of the sidewall flashing should extend up behind the exterior wall covering just like with headwalls. I ve prepared the two ends of the end wall flashing and in this particular case they re overhanging a gable trim on either side. Metal roof flashing is a galvanized sheet metal bent at right angles with about eight to 12 inches on each side of the angle.
