There are two meanings for a roof apron

  • a flashing material, similar to a drip edge, that is installed at the bottom of a roof, channelling the run-off away from the fascia and into a gutter;
  • a flashing along the edge of a roof where it butts into a wall that goes higher than the roof. The flashing directs water away from the wall and onto the roof.

Roofing apron is a flashing material used for channelizing run off away from the fascia and led it to gutters. They are of two types:

  • Gutter apron is used when shingles do not protrude far enough past the edge of the gutter, or on a low slope, where water could wick back. Water has no where to go except into the gutter.
  • Drip edge apron is used where you have no gutters. The design causes water to drip off clear of the fascia, roof deck, and rake boards.
