Flashing Cover

The weathertightness of a flashing is determined by the flashing cover (C), not the flashing dimension.(D)  Other considerations are catchment area, wind exposure, roof pitch and profile height.

The minimum flashing cover (C) must correlate with the tables below.

There are four categories of exposure or pitch that determine the required flashing cover.

Category A:

  • Low, Medium or High Wind Zones, all pitches
  • Very High and Extra High Wind Zones where the pitch is equal to or greater than 10°.

Category B:

  • Very High where the pitch is less than 10°, and
  • Extra High Wind Zones all pitches. 

Category C:

  • SED Wind Zones up to 60 m/s, all pitches.

Category D:

  • SED up to 68 m/s, all pitches.

NOTE: These tables are relevant to profiles with a rib height of 17 – 34 mm. Longitudinal flashings over profiles with a rib height greater than 34 mm may have one rib overlap. Dimensions provided in these tables are nominal and may vary slightly due to differences in manufacturing processes from different manufacturers.
