Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Counter flashing must always lap over, never under, the base flashing so water sheds outward; a 6 in. height suits most standard base flashing terminations. Set the top edge into a reglet or counterflash anchor and seal per the assembly's specification. Order enough pieces to maintain a continuous lap along the entire run without gaps.
Sheet metal edges are sharp; wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when handling and installing flashing.
Order the Art's Sheet Metal Mfg. 6 in. counter flashing to cap your base flashing runs.
