What Is A Metal Roof Valley?
A metal roof valley is a specially designed channel, typically made of metal, placed at the intersection where two sloping roof sections meet. It helps manage water runoff.

This metal roof valley directs water onto a lower section of roof to allow for proper run off to gutter.

Key Functions
- Water Channeling: Directs rainwater and melting snow off the roof’s surface, ensuring it moves safely towards the gutter system.
- Prevent Water Damage: Prevents water from pooling or seeping under the roofing material, preventing leaks and potential water damage to the underlying roof deck and the interior of the home.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Enhances the overall appearance of the roof, giving it a sleek and modern look.
