What Is Metal Gable and Eave Flashing?
Gable flashing is a metal trim piece installed along the gable of a roof. Eave flashing runs under roofing and into gutter. Both are designed to keep your home watertight.
Eave flashing is primarily functional and helps guide water into your gutter.
Gable flashing seals your roof edge and provides a more finished look.
Key Functions of Flashing
- Water Protection – Prevents water infiltration at the roof’s edge, directing rain off the roof.
- Wind Defense – Seals edges against wind-driven rain and snow.
- Aesthetic Finish – Offers a polished edge for metal roofs.
- Damage Protection – Shields the roof’s edges from water, debris, and pests.
