Install each piece lapped shingle-over with the vertical leg behind the wall cladding or counterflashing, and never rely on sealant alone. Match the gauge to the surrounding flashing so one material does not wear faster than another. Use painted TopShield pieces when color matching matters and mill finish where it will be covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCut flashing edges are sharp, so wear gloves and eye protection, and follow roof safety practices when working at eaves and valleys.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder TopShield galvanized prebent step flashing for dependable protection at every roof-to-wall transition.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TopShield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67583434916207,"sku":"TOPTS13846","price":1.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/3499\/7051\/files\/TOPTS13846_0.jpg?v=1790407199","url":"https:\/\/superarbor.io\/products\/topshield-galvanized-prebent-step-flashing-mill-finish-3-in-x-5-in-x-8-in-28-gauge","provider":"Super Arbor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
