Barge Board Flashings
Barge board flashings provide an important finishing detail for the sloping edges of a roof, helping to protect the roof structure and building from wind-driven rain. At Rollaclad, we manufacture bespoke barge board flashings to suit individual roofing and cladding projects, with a choice of materials, finishes and colours.
Our metal flashings are manufactured to order, allowing the dimensions, angles and profile to be tailored to the requirements of your building. Whether you are completing a new roofing project, replacing existing flashing or refurbishing an existing building, accurately manufactured barge board flashing can provide both practical weather protection and a clean, professional finish.
What Are Barge Board Flashings?
Barge board flashings are metal roofing components fitted along the gable or sloping edge of a roof. They are designed to cover and protect the junction between the roof sheets, barge board and supporting structure.
As well as providing a finished appearance around the roof edge, barge flashing helps prevent rainwater and wind-driven moisture from getting behind the roof cladding. The correct profile and dimensions are important to ensure that the flashing works effectively with the roofing sheets and other components.
At Rollaclad, barge board flashings can be manufactured to suit the requirements of the individual project rather than relying solely on standard off-the-shelf profiles.
Bespoke Barge Board Flashings
Every roofing and cladding project is different, which is why Rollaclad offers bespoke flashing manufacture. Our flashings can be produced to your required size, angle, material and finish.
This makes our bespoke barge board flashings suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Agricultural buildings and barns
- Industrial and commercial buildings
- Workshops and warehouses
- Garages and outbuildings
- New-build roofing projects
- Roofing refurbishment projects
- Metal-clad buildings
- Replacement roofing and cladding
If you have specific dimensions or an unusual roof detail, our team can discuss your requirements and manufacture a flashing profile to suit the application.
Metal Barge Board Flashing Materials
Rollaclad manufactures flashings using a range of suitable metal finishes. Available options include galvanised steel, PVC Plastisol and polyester-painted steel, with different finishes available to complement roofing and cladding systems.
Choosing a suitable material and coating can help provide the required combination of durability, weather resistance and appearance for the project.
Flashings can also be supplied in a range of standard RAL and BS colours, making it possible to coordinate the barge flashing with the colour of the roof or wall cladding.
Why Is Barge Flashing Important?
The edges of a roof are particularly exposed to the weather. Without an appropriately designed flashing detail, rainwater can find its way into gaps around the roof edge or behind the cladding.
A correctly manufactured barge board flashing helps to:
-
Protect vulnerable roof edges
-
Direct rainwater away from the building
-
Reduce the risk of water ingress
-
Provide a neat finish to the roof edge
-
Protect the underlying roof and cladding structure
-
Complement the colour and finish of the roofing system
The flashing should be correctly measured and designed for the particular roof profile to ensure that it provides effective coverage.
Barge Flashings for Roofing Sheets
Barge board flashings are commonly used alongside metal roofing sheets and cladding systems. The flashing needs to work with the profile of the roofing sheet while providing suitable coverage at the roof edge.
Rollaclad manufactures roofing sheets and flashings, allowing customers to source compatible products for their project from an experienced manufacturer. The company has been established since 1973 and manufactures roofing and cladding sheets to measure for individual projects.
Our flashing range also includes ridge flashings, corner flashings, drip trims, eaves flashings, cappings, sills and soakers. Where a required profile is not listed as a standard product, bespoke flashing can be manufactured to suit the project.
