The final stage in fitting EPDM rubber roofing is fitting the over flashings where a roof joins a brick wall.
This is normally done with a plastic coated metal flashing strip called a wall trim, but can also be a metal gutter drip quicktrim. The cheapest option is usually the metal edge trim, which can come with a metal gutter edge trim too. From a practical perspective it does work, but it can make a domestic roof look somewhat ugly, especially if the bolts are visible from the floor or a nearby window.
Plastic roof trims are a good option for small domestic roofs, and there are some highly attractive choices on the market today that will make all the difference to the finished look.
- There are different kinds of trims, including edge trims which keep the water on the roof and drive it towards your drip trim.
- The drip trim is a water run off point that drips into a gutter.
