Flashing & Accessories

TigerPROFILES produces a range of flashing. By definition, flashing refers to thin continuous pieces of sheet metal installed to prevent the passage of water into a structure from an angle or joint. Flashing may be exposed or concealed. Exposed flashing is usually of sheet metal, such as aluminum, or painted galvanized steel. Metal flashing should be provided with expansion joints on long runs to prevent the deformation of the metal sheets. The selected metal should not stain or be stained by adjacent materials or react chemically with them.

product properties :

• Flashing can assume a number of forms including:- Roof flashing is placed around discontinuities or objects which protrude from the roof of a building (such as pipes and chimneys, or the edges of other roofs) to deflect water away from seams or joints.
• Wall flashing may be embedded in a wall to direct water that has penetrated the wall back outside, or it may be applied in a manner intended to prevent the entry of water into the wall. Wall flashing is typically found at interruptions in the wall, such as windows and points of structural support.
• In addition to flashing, Tiger Profiles production capabilities enable it to cater to highly demanding design requirements.
• With a very flexible aptitude for complicated shapes and designs the flashing options produced by TigerPROFILES are ideally used to seal membrane edgings at walls, expansion joints, drains, gravel stops, and other places where the membrane, cap, or counter flashing shields the upper edges of the base flashing.
