Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Drip edge is cheap insurance for the roof edge: install it on every eave and rake, laps shingled-fashion so water always sheds over the next piece, and nail it every 8-12 inches into the deck. On 6" fascia-heavy details the 6" x 2-1/2" profile gives extra reach. Choose a heavier gauge or factory-bent edge metal for long commercial runs where wind uplift is a concern.
Cut edges of galvanized flashing are sharp; wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when handling and snipping drip edge.
Order FLAMCO 26-gauge black galvanized drip edge to finish your roof edges right.
