T-metal flashing is specifically designed for metal roofing systems with a T-shaped profile that provides both water management and structural support. The extended flange functions as a cleat to secure metal panel ends, while regular drip edge is primarily for shingle roofs. T-metal flashing offers superior integration with metal panels and enhanced structural performance.

Choose aluminum T-metal for aluminum roof systems to prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure thermal expansion compatibility. Aluminum is also superior for coastal environments. Choose galvanized steel for steel roof systems where maximum strength is required and for cost-effective large projects. Both materials meet professional standards and building codes.

Yes, the International Building Code (IBC) requires proper flashing at roof perimeters and edges. T-metal flashing meets these requirements for metal roofing systems and is often specified by metal roof manufacturers. Local codes may have additional requirements, so always consult with local building officials and follow manufacturer specifications.

Professional installation is strongly recommended for safety and warranty protection. Metal roofing work requires specialized knowledge of thermal expansion, proper fastening techniques, and sealant application. Working on metal roofs is extremely dangerous without proper safety equipment and training. Professional contractors ensure code compliance and proper integration with your metal roofing system.

Measure the linear feet of all roof perimeters, rake edges, and areas requiring flashing. Add 10-15% for overlaps and waste. A typical residential metal roof requires 100-300 linear feet depending on size and complexity. Our 50-piece bundle provides 500 linear feet, suitable for most residential projects. Contact us for project-specific calculations and recommendations.

Our T-metal flashing is designed to work with all standard metal panel systems, including standing seam, mechanical seam, and ribbed panels. The 1-1/2" dimensions accommodate most panel heights, including 1.5" rib systems. For custom applications or unusual panel profiles, contact us for compatibility verification and custom solutions.
