Profile Closures

Profiled closures are available for all profiles. They are available in narrow tip (for going under the profile) or wide tip (for fitting over).

As they restrict the free movement of air, their use should be restricted to where they are required for weatherproofing and appearance (such as scribers under window jamb flashings) or for maintaining positive internal pressures, such as in building with a managed internal environment. Profiled closures should be of closed cell type, rather than bitumen impregnated.

In marine areas, corrosion is likely to initiate under apex flashings and under the eaves overhang, regardless of whether profiled foam is used. A high fronted spouting is the best protection against the eaves corrosion. In very severe cases, or where there is a gap between the back of the gutter and the fascia, an eaves flashing of durable material (e.g., aluminium or plastic) can be used to prevent much of the salt build-up on the underside of the roof cladding.  (See Eaves Flashing)

For vermin control, a perforated scribed aluminium flashing, or an eaves comb, may be used.

Low fronted gutters in severe conditions will often lead to eaves corrosion
