KONTROL Drip Strip

Product Information

While plastic, vinyl and fiberglass drip edges may also be available in your area, these materials are best suited for use in nonroofing applications, such as above doors and windows. The 4.2m length covers and can be shaped over the sliding door and passenger door and runs away well. The other element is if the gutter is not installed behind the drip edge it creates an air gap between the top of the gutter and the bottom of the drip edge which allows a place for the water to go. Being a manufacturer of roof edgings and an installer of gutters, I know first hand it’s not always possible to get the gutter behind the drip edge and have it drain properly. How does the water get there? Step Ten: When you reach the roof’s ridge, you need to make yet another cut in your drip edge. Hold the drip edge up to the ridge and make a mark along where the drip edge exceeds the roof. Make a straight cut through the bottom of the drip edge with your tin snips. Some factors will affect the installation time such as the current substrate, size and type of roof; along with if there is any detail work required such as skylights.

Step Four : Install the new drip edge as described above, with cement and nails. You’ll need to ask another roofing professional to hold up the shingles while you do so. Our Midlands training centre certifies thousands of professionals each year, offering 20-year membrane guarantees to certified installers. Step Two: Install drip edges on the eaves first. Place the drip edge down, aligning it so water will drip into the gutters. The end with the flange or flare should point down and away from the roof. For Sam, it took him just under a 1hour and 30minutes. He did install this roof alone and installed edge trims which make a difference to the installation time.

Step Seven : Once you’ve covered the eaves with a drip edge, it’s time to install your underlayment. We can only provide a delivery date and are not able to confirm the time delivery will be attempted. Therefore, we ask that somebody is able to accept and sign for your items throughout the started delivery date. Step Six: Install the drip edge as normal. Then, bend in the flap of the drip edge to form a corner. You will complete this corner when you install the drip edges on the rakes. This type of damage can be avoided by using the prefabricated KORTE Drip Strips because water then drips off at the ‚correct‘ point. Step One : Gently lift up the shingles on the edge of the roof and locate the nails holding the existing drip edge onto the roof.

Step One: If using a Type C drip edge, you can install a furring strip to increase its performance. A furring edge is a strip of one-by-two wood you install on the vertical surface of the house just beneath the roof’s edge. When you install the drip edge over this strip, it keeps the lower flange further from the home’s siding, which helps to keep water further from the home. Our friends over at RoofScout have made a great video showing you exactly how long it takes to install ClassicBond on a freestanding, timber-boarded log cabin.Drip edges are metal sheets, usually shaped like an “L,” installed at the edge of the roof. Also called drip edge flashing or D-metal, they serve a vital function by directing water away from the fascia and into the gutter. Without a drip edge, water may end up beneath the shingles and may cause damage to various parts of the home. Though your home may not have originally had a drip edge installed, drip edges are now required by most building codes across North America to protect homes from damage. If you’ve discovered your roof is missing a drip edge, or has a damaged drip edge, you can get in touch with a roofing contractor through our Roofing Contractor Locator to get professional advice.

Especially if your van is white too. Remember cut to a length wider than the door opening so the pour off doesn't come in the van door too.
