Clear Ordering Note: Sold by Foot, Shipping Length Limited to 8 ft

This aluminum drip edge flashing is priced and sold by the foot. Order the total linear footage needed for the roof edge, gutter run, repair section, eave, rake, shed, outbuilding, or fascia transition.

• Sold by foot: the purchase quantity should equal the total linear feet needed.
• Maximum shipped piece length: 8 ft per piece because long metal is costly to package and ship safely.
• Need pieces longer than 8 ft? use in-store pickup or local delivery where available.
• Full-section reference: standard sections may be 10 ft before cutting, but shipped pieces must be 8 ft or shorter.
• Profile size: 1.5 in roof leg with 1.5 in face.
• Before checkout: confirm footage, piece length, color, gutter position, fascia condition, roof type, and the best fulfillment method.

Key Benefits at a Glance

Small Roof Edge. Expensive Water Path.

A gutter can be pitched, sealed, and hung correctly, but if water rolls behind the roof edge, the fascia still gets wet. Missing, bent, short, or poorly fitted drip edge can send runoff behind the trough before the gutter ever gets a chance to catch it.

This 1.5 x 1.5 aluminum drip edge flashing gives compact roof edges a cleaner water break: 1.5 in roof-side coverage, 1.5 in fascia-side coverage, 16 oz aluminum construction, measured-by-foot ordering, and color-match flexibility for professional exterior work.

Built for Compact Roof Edges, Gutter Installs, and Clean Water Control

1.5 x 1.5 Aluminum Drip Edge Flashing is a compact formed roof-edge profile used where shingles, roof deck, fascia, and gutters need to work together. The profile has a 1.5 in roof leg and a 1.5 in face as shown in the profile drawing.

For gutter installers, the value is practical: gutters work best when roof runoff reaches them cleanly. Drip edge flashing helps bridge the roof edge and gutter line so water moves away from the fascia and toward the gutter instead of slipping behind the system.

This compact profile is best positioned for smaller roof-edge details, repair work, sheds, outbuildings, low-profile eaves, compact rake edges, and color-matched exterior water-control work where the roof design does not call for a larger 2 x 3, 2 x 4, or 2 x 5 profile.

This product is sold by the foot. Shipped pieces must be 8 ft or shorter because long flashing is expensive to box, protect, and move through carriers. Longer pieces should be arranged through in-store pickup at GutterAll in Damascus, Oregon or local delivery where available.

Use website chat first to confirm total footage, piece length, color, profile fit, roof-edge condition, made-to-order timing, and fulfillment option before ordering. Email and phone are available as secondary support options.

Why This Compact Drip Edge Matters

A new gutter cannot protect fascia if water is already curling behind it at the roof edge. A clean drip edge detail helps create the path water should follow before it reaches the gutter.

This 1.5 x 1.5 profile gives contractors a low-profile roof-edge option for compact details, small repairs, and exterior water-control situations where a larger roof leg or taller face is not the right fit.

The strongest order starts with three checks: total footage, maximum piece length, and whether the material is being shipped in 8 ft sections or handled locally in longer pieces.

Contractor Applications

How Drip Edge Flashing Works

Drip edge flashing is installed at roof edges so runoff leaves the roof at a defined metal edge instead of wicking back into roof decking or fascia. At eaves, the goal is to guide water toward the gutter line. At rakes, the goal is to help protect the sloped roof edge from exposed-edge water movement.

Installation sequence matters. Eave, rake, underlayment, fastener, overlap, roof material, and local requirements all affect the final detail.

The 1.5 x 1.5 profile should be selected when the compact profile provides the coverage needed and fits the roof edge without forcing the roof system or creating a poor lap.

Who Uses This Flashing?

Setup and Application Guide

1. Measure the full roof-edge or gutter-edge run that needs flashing.
2. Choose the total linear footage needed in the purchase area.
3. Plan piece lengths before checkout, keeping shipped pieces at 8 ft or shorter.
4. Choose pickup or local delivery for longer pieces where available.
5. Confirm the 1.5 x 1.5 profile fits the roof edge, fascia condition, gutter line, and roof material.
6. Confirm color, finish, made-to-order timing, and any special-color needs before ordering.
7. Cut the flashing with appropriate metal tools and use gloves to handle sharp edges.
8. Layer the flashing with the roof edge and underlayment sequence required for the specific eave or rake detail.
9. Fasten and seal only as required by the roof, gutter, or project specification.
10. After installation, verify runoff leaves the roof edge cleanly and enters the gutter or safe drainage path without running behind the fascia.

Pro Tip

Before replacing gutters on an older roof edge, check whether the drip edge is missing, too short, bent, or tucked wrong. Fixing the roof-edge detail first can prevent the new gutter from getting blamed for water that was already slipping behind the fascia.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cutting, Handling, and Installation Safety Notice

Metal flashing can have sharp edges, especially after cutting. Use gloves, eye protection, safe cutting tools, and proper handling practices.

Roof-edge and gutter work may involve ladders, roof edges, power tools, sharp metal, and fall hazards. Use safe access methods and follow applicable jobsite safety requirements.

Flashing must be integrated with the full roof-edge water-control system. Poor lapping, exposed gaps, weak fastening, incompatible metals, or incorrect profile selection can reduce performance.

Need Help Confirming Footage, Piece Length, or the Right Roof-Edge Detail?

The right order depends on total footage, piece length, shipping limit, roof-edge layout, gutter position, fascia condition, color, made-to-order timing, pickup, delivery, and whether another flashing profile is needed. Website chat is the fastest way to confirm before checkout.
