Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This flashing is specifically designed for corrugated bitumen sheets with a 95/38 profile. It is confirmed to fit leading brands such as BituRoof, Onduline, Coroline, and Gutta. Always double-check the profile of your existing sheets to ensure a proper match before installation.
Setup & Installation:
- Preparation: Ensure the wall and roofing surfaces are clean and dry.
- Cutting: The PVC flashing can be easily cut to the required length using a utility knife or fine-toothed saw.
- Positioning: Place the flashing so it overlaps the corrugated sheets and extends sufficiently up the wall to prevent water ingress.
- Securing: Fasten the flashing securely using appropriate roofing screws and washers, ensuring they penetrate through the flashing and into the structural elements or fixing points of the bitumen sheets. Do not overtighten.
- Sealing: For added security, a bead of compatible exterior-grade sealant can be applied along the top edge where the flashing meets the wall, though often the overlapping design is sufficient.
Care:
The PVC material requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the flashing for any signs of damage or dislodgement. Cleaning can be done with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the PVC.
