Drip Edge

A drip edge is a component typically used in roofing installations. It is a metal strip that is installed along the edges of a roof, specifically at the eaves and rakes. The drip edge serves several important functions in protecting the roof and the overall structure of the building.

TPO Drip Edge

A TPO drip edge is a specific type of drip edge designed for roofs with TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin) roofing systems. TPO is a popular single-ply roofing membrane known for its durability, energy efficiency, and ease of installation. A TPO drip edge serves the same functions as a standard drip edge but is specifically designed to work with TPO roofing systems.

Ridge

A ridge refers to the highest point where two roof slopes intersect. It is the horizontal line that runs along the length of the roof, typically at the peak or ridge line. A ridge serves several important purposes in roofing.

Hip Ridge

A hip ridge is a specific type of ridge that is used in hip roofs, which are roofs with sloping sides and four separate roof sections or slopes that meet at a point called the hip. The hip ridge runs along the line where these roof sections intersect at the highest point of the roof.

Headwall

A headwall refers to the vertical wall that intersects with a sloping roof. It is typically located at the top of a gable end or where a roof meets a higher vertical structure such as a parapet wall or chimney. The headwall serves several important functions.

Pitch Change

A pitch change refers to a transition point where the slope or angle of the roof changes. It occurs when there is a shift in the steepness or incline of the roof planes. A pitch change can occur at various locations on a roof, such as where two roof sections with different slopes meet or at the junction of a main roof and an attached porch or addition.

W Valley

A W valley, also known as a weave valley or a closed valley, is a type of roofing valley used to channel water off a roof. It is formed by the intersection of two sloping roof planes that come together at an angle, creating a "W" shape when viewed from above.

Regular Valley

A regular valley, also known as an open valley or a V valley, is a common type of roofing valley used to direct water runoff off a roof. It is formed by the intersection of two sloping roof planes that come together at an angle, creating a "V" shape when viewed from above.

Stucco Receiver

A stucco receiver refers to a metal flashing or trim piece installed along the edge of a roof where it meets a stucco or masonry wall. Its purpose is to provide a transition and a clean, finished appearance between the roof and the vertical wall.

Turn Back

A turn back, also known as a backflashing or return leg, refers to a folded portion of a flashing or membrane that is turned back over itself. It is commonly used in roof installations to provide additional protection against water infiltration at critical areas.

Counter Flashing (Brick)

Counter flashing is a protective component used in roofing systems to prevent water infiltration at the intersection of a vertical wall and a roof surface. It is typically installed over a base flashing and is embedded into the wall or integrated with the masonry or cladding material.

Counter Flashing (Stone)

Counter flashing is a protective component used in roofing systems to prevent water infiltration at the intersection of a vertical wall and a roof surface. It is typically installed over a base flashing and is embedded into the wall or integrated with the masonry or cladding material.

1" Zee Bar

A 1" zee bar, also known as a Z-bar or Z-flashing, is a metal component commonly used in roofing systems. It is typically made of galvanized steel or aluminum and is shaped like the letter "Z" when viewed from the side.

1.5" Zee Bar

A 1.5" zee bar, similar to a 1" zee bar, is a metal component used in roofing systems. It is typically made of galvanized steel or aluminum and has a "Z" shape when viewed from the side. The primary purpose and functions of a 1.5" zee bar are similar to those of a 1" zee bar, but with a larger size.

Downspout

A downspout, also known as a downpipe or leader, is a vertical pipe or conduit that is used to channel rainwater or melted snow from the roof to the ground or a designated drainage system.

Strap

A strap commonly refers to a metal component that is used to secure and fasten various elements of the roof system. Although, the term "strap" can be used in different ways depending on the specific roofing context.

Gutter

A gutter for roofs is a trough or channel that is typically made of metal, plastic, or another durable material and is installed along the edge of a roof. Its primary function is to collect and channel rainwater or melted snow from the roof to a designated drainage system.

Gutter Hangers

A gutter hanger for roofs is a component used to secure and support the gutter system along the edge of a roof. Its primary function is to provide structural support and maintain the proper alignment and positioning of the gutter.

Coping Cap

A coping cap for roofs is a protective covering or cap that is installed on top of a parapet wall or a low wall that extends above the roofline. Its primary purpose is to provide a waterproof barrier and enhance the durability and aesthetics of the wall.
