Coverage & How Much You Need:
Each prebent piece covers one step course; size the job by counting shingle courses where the roof meets a wall and adding one piece per course, lapped shingle-style up the wall line.
Fit and Compatibility:
Works with standard asphalt shingle roofing at wall intersections, chimneys, skylights and dormers. Pair with compatible underlayment and roofing sealant; mill finish is suited to exposed mill metal details, while Black suits darker trim colors.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Choose the 3 x 5 x 8 profile for standard shingle laps at walls and the larger 5 x 5 x 8 profile where a bigger leg is needed. Install each piece with the head lap behind the next shingle course and never seal-only step flashing; correct lapping, not caulk, keeps water out. Black finish blends with dark shingles, mill finish suits bare-metal details.
Galvanized flashing edges can be sharp; wear gloves and eye protection when handling and cutting.
