Quick links:
A square or rectangular gutter that is used within the boundaries
of the roof. It may be formed between a roof surface and a
parapet wall or between two roof surfaces. Available with infold,
outfold, splashback and squashfold edges. This gutter is usually
supported on a box gutter board to improve strength & stiffness
and to minimise damage caused by roof traffic.
Standard Box Gutter Profiles
A purpose made external gutter which is located at the edge of
an industrial roof. It is usually supported by heavy gauge brackets
that have been designed specifically to suit the industrial eaves
gutter shape. When made in larger sizes special attention should
be given to minimising oil canning of flat surfaces by introducing
additional ribs into the design.
Standard Industrial Eaves Gutter Profiles
A shallow gutter formed to suit the angle between two internal
slopes of a roof. Its design will usually include a return at each
edge to minimise the possibility of water spillage into the roof
space. Depending on the size and application additional internal
stiffening ribs may be included.
Standard Valley Gutter Profiles
A half round segmented gutter formed into a trough. It is formed
between a roof surface and a parapet wall or between two roof
surfaces and is available with infold, outfold, splashback and
squashfold edges. Usually supported by heavy gauge straps,
trough gutters are very efficient and have better self cleaning
properties than box gutters. In most cases the depth will not
exceed half the width.
Standard Trough Gutter Profiles
A folded piece of steel used for waterproofing wall sheeting where two walls meet to form an external corner. Where used with steel sheet walling it should lap at least one rib and a recommended two ribs for maximum water proofing.
Standard Corner Flashing Profiles
A folded piece of steel used to prevent water from penetrating the space where a vertical surface intersects a roof. Where used with steel sheet roofing it should lap at least one rib and a recommended two ribs for maximum water proofing. Wider apron flashings are advised when the base of the flashing faces into the prevailing wind.
Standard Apron Flashing Profiles
A folded piece of steel used to finish the base of a vertical surface, in such a way as to prevent water penetration. It also provides an edge to an adjoining soffit. Typical applications are in facades and to finish overhanging canopies. The flashing also prevents water contact to the ends of sheeting.
Standard Foot Mould Profiles
A purpose made flashing used to seal the join between the end of a roof and masonry wall. A “V” groove end locates into either a preformed reglet, or a cut in the masonry wall providing a water resistant join to the roof and wall connection. When installed, pole plate flashings (often called chimney flashings) can either be stepped to conform to brick courses or left straight, for a more modern appearance.
Standard Pole Plate Flashing Profiles
A steel sheet used to cap building framework and external brickwork at the base of a window or door frame. It also prevents water from pooling in these areas.
Standard Sill Flashing Profiles
A steel covering over the ridge to provide a continuous cover and effective weather seal between two slopes. The size of the edge break should conform with the rib height of the steel roofing to which the ridge is attached. Good roofing practice is to notch this edge break to neatly fit around each rib of the roof sheet.
Standard Ridge Flashing Profiles
A folded steel sheet commonly used to provide a weather sealed base around chimneys to prevent water penetration. It is often made as a two piece flashing to provide flexibility in installation.
Standard Chimney Flashing Profiles
A covering used to waterproof and cap the ends of vertical sheets or masonry walls. A stiffening edge or break is often applied to the legs of the parapet cap for a more appealing appearance, and to minimise oil canning of the steel. Ensure that these recommendations are taken into account when measuring the flashing. It is also important to ensure that water does not pool on top of the cap, to prevent water seeping into the building.
Standard Ridge Flashing Profiles
A folded sheet used to waterproof the junction between a fascia or barge board and roof sheeting. The size of the edge break should conform with the rib height of the steel roofing to which the ridge is attached.
