STEP FLASHING

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

These basic installation guidelines are for use with typical or standard applications. It is always recommended to seek advice from a licensed

professional, and to check with your local building inspector or building permit office for approvals and possible variations that may apply.

Step Flashing is used to protect chimneys, skylights, dormers and roof-to-wall intersections.

CAUTION!

Working above grade is inherently dangerous, be sure that proper fall protection measures are in place.

When working with power tools and sheet metal, gloves and eye protection are absolutely required.
