Roof edge flashing is a system used with membrane roofing to hold the membrane in place at the edge of the roof. The flashing system consists of a continuous cleat (base plate, retainer) that is mechanically fastened to the roof over the edge of the membrane. The continuous cleat can be made of galvanized steel, aluminum, stainless steel, or Galvalume. Over the cleat, a snap on fascia piece is installed. This piece provides the finished look and can be made of galvanized steel, Galvalume, stainless steel, or aluminum. The fascia can either be natural mill finish, anodized aluminum, or Kynar (PVDF) coated. The most common system was found to be a galvanized steel continuous cleat with an aluminum fascia piece where the fascia is Kynar coated. The fascia is generally produced from coil coated aluminum sheet. The Kynar coating system is baked onto the fascia at a high temperature, generally about 450F or higher. Both the steel and aluminum may contain post-consumer and/or post-industrial recycled content. The fasteners required to attach the cleat, fascia joint splice pieces, and any sealant needed for installation are not included in this CP.
