Step flashing is used in two applications on roofs. 1) Around skylights/roof windows (eg. Velux). 2) Around the base of chimneys.
A type of flashing not typically found around chimneys is roof valley flashing, which is used to protect the intersection of two roof slopes from water infiltration. Chimneys usually have step flashing or counter flashing to prevent water from entering where the chimney meets the roof.
When installing a skylight in a tile roof, a specialized flashing system designed for tile applications is used. This typically includes a combination of step flashing and counter-flashing to ensure proper water drainage and prevent leaks. The flashing is integrated with the tiles, often requiring the tiles to be cut to fit around the skylight, ensuring a watertight seal. Additionally, underlayment may be added for extra protection against moisture.
To properly install step flashing on your roof, you should first ensure that the flashing is made of durable material like galvanized steel or aluminum. Next, place the flashing under each row of shingles, overlapping them to create a watertight barrier. Make sure the flashing is angled to direct water away from the roof and into the gutters. Seal the edges of the flashing with roofing cement to prevent leaks.
The lowest face of a chimney should have a step flashing system. This type of flashing consists of overlapping pieces that direct water away from the chimney and onto the roofing material below, preventing leaks. Additionally, counter flashing may be installed to cover the top edge of the step flashing, providing extra protection against water intrusion. Proper installation is crucial to ensure the longevity and integrity of both the chimney and the roof.
An apron flashing is a term used for a flashing located at the juncture of the top of a sloped roof and a vertical wall.
