Effective flashing at angled joints and transitions is critical for creating a watertight and durable building exterior. Galvanized Steel Angle Flashing, available through A1A Wholesale Supply, provides a fundamental solution for these common conditions. Also often referred to as L-flashing or L-metal due to its profile, this versatile component is characterized by its simple yet effective bend, typically at a 90-degree angle, allowing it to fit snugly into corners and along intersecting planes.
Constructed from robust Galvanized Steel, this angle flashing is protected by a zinc coating that provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion. This inherent durability makes it a long-lasting material capable of withstanding exposure to the elements in various climates, ensuring reliable performance over time.
Galvanized steel angle flashing is valued for its exceptional versatility and is used in a wide array of applications. It is commonly installed at roof-to-wall transitions (both sidewall and endwall flashing) to prevent water from running down the wall and behind the roofing material. It is also widely used for flashing inside and outside corners on walls, around chimneys, skylights, windows, and doors to seal gaps and direct water away. Due to its simple profile, it can often be cut and bent on-site to create custom flashing pieces or even cut into smaller sections for use as step flashing on shingled roofs.
This type of flashing is available in numerous sizes, defined by the lengths of its two legs (e.g., 3″ x 3″, 4″ x 6″, etc.), allowing it to be selected to fit specific dimensions and overlap requirements of different building components. Common gauges for galvanized steel angle flashing include 26 GA, 28 GA, and 30 GA, offering varying levels of rigidity and formability to suit different application needs.
Galvanized steel angle flashing is typically available in its standard metallic Mill Finish. For applications where aesthetics are a consideration or to provide an extra layer of protection, it is also commonly offered with a durable Painted finish. Painted options come in a variety of standard exterior colors to match or complement other building materials.
This flashing is generally supplied in standard 10-foot or 12-foot lengths, providing convenient sections for installation while minimizing the number of joints required over longer runs. It is typically packaged in bundles for ease of handling.
