How To Install Step Flashing | Roofing Megastore
Переглядів 41 тис.5 років тому
Step flashings are necessary when a roof runs into a wall or meets a chimney. Unlike apron flashings, the lead roll is formed in a step-like pattern and penetrates into the courses between the bricks. This does not only allow you to leave the bricks themselves untouched, but also provides a beautiful aesthetic. To create a step flashing you will require the appropriate code lead, all of which c...

What about the expansion gaps of 5mm that is meant to be there between each tile?
Poor demonstration
hi mate great job n which code you recomend ??
Greetings from 1600's! 😂😂😂 from a german!
used these on our 14 degree roof, no problems but we now wish to fit a velux, any tips on how to remove the slates as there have , as designed, bonded to each other?
Used these on our 14 degree roof, excellent but we now wish to fit a velux but unsure how to remove the slates as they have bonded together. As they are designed to do.
why have you not detailed the critical step of how much space you need between the sheets so we know how to space the rafters? Surely that would have been an obvious thing to cover in the video? If using 700mm wide sheets then how far do the rather need to be spaced apart? 725mm maybe ? I need to know this before installing the rafters?
What do you donif the width of the roof is such that the other end of the roof, that you dont shiw being fitted, is not perfectly in line with the corrugations? You've shown all the ways bits but very kittle about the other end of the roof.
Useless video 😂
Can this use for kitchen exhaust smoke?
'BLM'
You say that but to finish a rub I needed 1600 so had to do it really for cover flashing
You nailed the rig in the wrong place
What does sinfettic mean?
Should the galvanized nails pop through the OSB by approx 5mm ? They are now condensating and dripping water.
Despite what it says DO NOT continuously overlap the sheets. You will get eaves creep so that after 4 sheets your eaves line will be about 30mm lower than the first sheet. I suggest you overlap and then underlap and repeat - that way you can maintain a straight eaves. If you decide to put them on battens / "purlins" you will need to think about how the tiles will lay on the barge board pieces. I had to notch the ends of my supports.
Can you tell me what make/type of solar brackets these are please?
You loose the head lap of the tile with your lead slate as shown in your video lol. Not good advertising 😕lol
Your right 30 mm or so lap it should extend past the top of the tile even if it's just 2mm
With the flashing tape, did you just peel the top half off first and stick that? it looks really tricky.
Look very impressive. My only worry is if one was to need replacing it would be very difficult. Any addresses in Birmingham UK that have these tiles.
What is the quality like... I've read some bad reviews on this stuff
Eh I installed it on my buddy mobile home around ten years ago and I followed the instructions perfectly and it might be better now . I say if you want to go over your existing shingles and can not afford a complete tear off it will buy you time for sure .
Great video. Thanks for sharing .
Can you walk or kneel on the sheets when fitting?
No. Especially not with a roof structure like they show in the video. Most roof structures with that span would have at least one row of blocking between the rafters. If you were to stand directly on a rafter then you might be ok, but do not stand on the polycarbonate without a solid surface directly under it for support.
Fucking nonsense
Cut mine with a circular saw with fine teeth. Much faster.
Great do you do an option for wood burning twin wall flies pls
Is there a greater chance of water ingress using this step flashing technique over a lapped square step? I have just had this done and am getting water ingress.
Get some lead sealant in all the gaps before pointing, should be fine.
Why so many battens? Put the lead slate under the side tiles and the top check isn't going to do anything except kick the next row of tiles up.
What should be the spacing of rafters
I wouldn't put these on a bird house roof never mind a conservatory roof
EcoSlate, as well as many other synthetic slates, are becoming incredibly popular throughout the UK for use on conservatories. With a 50 year BBA-backed guarantee, you can be assured of their suitability. If you would like to explore other options for your conservatory, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our award-winning Customer Care Team.
@@RoofingMegastore The rigidity of the product is the main concern with potential customers. It looks like a rubber material ? I could be wrong though. I would be very concerned with moisture building up. I would personally use the Tapco tile.
@@deangreasley8168 I've been looking into Tapco as well, I do like the look of them but not much experience with them, they're not flexible but then possibly more brittle? I wouldn't worry about uplift with the ecoslate, it's flexible but alot heavier and thicker than the commonly used bitumen shingles.
@@zororat I've done around 5 conservatory roofs with the Tapco and I like the product. The only thing that hasn't been addressed with them and that's if you have around 4 hips running to the main ridge.
Way too flimsy for my liking, tapco tiles I think are better
Use 12.7 mm or 1/2" wood drill bit to drill holes for the super fixing buttons. How the hell can I get 12.7mm drill bit? In the civilised world people use mm not inches. Easier to get a moon stone than 12.7" drill bit...
I don't think the size has to be exact.
Use a "half inch" drill, if you cannot convert. Its close enough. ( thats .500 inch )
What’s the tool called with the slit in it, for bending?
Hey did you find out what it was called
It called Turn in flashing lead and also know as Easyflash lead bending.
Its called a lead bender mate
Called a woman
Its called a peice of 3x2 with a slit in it
Surely the ridge covers lap so the middle is the top section? Basically weather proofing
hi mate how to paint the rubber flashing
Seems like the perfect cheap solution for smaller builds like sheds. But can it be used for a proper house? How long do they last?
Can these be put over existing asphalt shingles?
Can these be put over existing
So how do you cut it if its hanging too far over the edge eg on dormer?
With the 4.5" angle grinder they recommend in the list of tools you need
That only worked cos the bricks was sponge and the axe was blunt
Hi, great vid......thanks. I'll be going through this process soon for a house extension. Please could you let me know the life expectancy of the rubber boot, and how waterproof the whole thing tends to be ?? And is there a better way to ensure 100% waterproofness ?? Many thanks 🙂
Tiger GKW installed the way he did it they will be 100% watertight. The rubber will probably last a minimum of 15-20 years before you should have it checked out for wear and tear
We want to use this product for the roof of a large single slope timber outdoor room. Is there an option available for finishing the top edge of the sloping roof?
I’m looking for that answer myself
@@kingontv5738 - perhaps Roofing MegaStore know? 🤔
Self adhesive Flashing tape
@@djturner1992 Just use the ridge piece and bend it down vertical
Can you walk on it to fit the ridge?
If you use wooden walk boards, to spread your weight
That depends on how brave you are even with walk boards.
Really 😂😂😂
No membrane needed over osb sheets?
Great guide owwwww yes
using these just now on our extension - 15° pitch! easy to fit, from more than 20' you would swear they were real slate!
They look a bit soft,don't they blow up in high winds?
good video but how do i fix it onto my roof ive got concrete beams?.. thanks
First fit roofing batten to the beams 2x1 inch should do it.
