Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
China top flashing is a traditional choice where a chimney sits on the roof slope, working with base flashing and counterflashing to shed water into the roof covering. Verify the chimney's dimensions against the 16 in. width before ordering. Keep the galvanized surface unpainted where practical, or prime and paint if a finish color is required.
Wear gloves when handling formed sheet metal; raw edges and corners can cut, and chimney flashing work requires ladder and roof safety precautions.
