BPA galvanised flat steel, matt polyester — RAL 7016 8017 9005 — 2 m panels

An unusual parapet, a wide sill or a façade edge need not force a change to the whole design. Flat sheet can be cut and folded into flashings, covers and trims that fit the actual building. It gives owners a way to solve a specific junction while keeping the finish consistent with the roof or façade.

Use the installation position to determine a flashing’s width, folds and edge returns. This is especially useful in renovation, where off-the-shelf accessories may not fit. Adapting the flashing to the substrate rather than altering the substrate for a standard fitting reduces the work and preserves components that still perform well. Examples include windows, chimneys, cornices and the edges of older roofs.

Flat sheet is useful in a workshop handling varied orders. One type of sheet can supply eaves flashings, corner pieces, cover strips and other parts to drawings. A cutting plan allows small offcuts to be used for smaller pieces. Customers ordering a full set of trims benefit too: it is easier to obtain a uniform colour and finish than when combining unrelated product lines.

Coated steel combines a steel base with protection and a decorative surface. Once formed, the part does not need painting over its entire face to achieve the chosen colour. This saves a separate finishing operation and makes the result easier to judge in advance. Galvanised and other finishes can be selected to suit exposure and purpose. A concealed cover and a feature on a prominent façade can therefore be specified to different budgets.

Sheet metal can also form light equipment guards, workshop components and bespoke architectural details. The thickness must allow forming while providing the required stiffness. That gives the fabricator flexibility and the owner a finish suited to the site. Flat sheet is especially useful where drainage, a protected joint or a neat edge matters. On a small extension, matching flashings can carry the line of the existing eaves or parapet into the new work.
