ROOF ACCESSORIESRoof accessories are parts used to seal the edges where roof panels meet one another. Among them are Ridges, Flashings, Gutters, Hips, Eaves, Fascias, Gables and Drip edges. These items make sure that no outside element from the above the roof leaks to your home beneath it. Most of these accessories job is to funnel rainwater to your drainage system, most of which will be discussed in this page.

Roof RidgeRoof Ridge is the highest point on a roof, represented by a horizontal line where two roof areas intersect, running the length of the area. There are two kinds - Roll and Cap, which only differs in texture. Roll has edges, while Cap has curves.
Ridge Roll is for Long Span (Rib), Corrugated and Multi Rib Roof profiles. (see above picture). Straightforward design for your basic roofing requirement. (two above pictures)
Ridge Cap is for Tile Span Roof profiles. (see picture on the right). It has a curved top that blends aesthetically to the curves of the roof. (right picture) |

Roof ValleyRoof Valley is a roof ridge that isn't on the highest point of the roof. Again but on the sides, represented by a horizontal line where two roof areas intersect, running the length of the area.

Roof FasciaThe fascia board is the long, straight board that runs along the lower edge of the roof. The fascia is fixed directly to the lower ends of the roof trusses and usually does all the work of supporting the lower edge of the bottom row of tiles. The metal fascia is the metal used to cover it.

Roof GutterGutters prevent water ingress into the fabric of the building by channel-ling the rainwater away from the exterior of the walls and their foundations. Water running down the walls causes dampness in the affected rooms and provides a favorable environment for growth of mold, and wet rot in timber. Gutter is a roof integral trough along the lower edge of the roof slope which is fashioned from the roof covering and flashing materials; Is a Discrete trough of metal, or other material that is suspended beyond the roof edge and below the projected slope of the roof. We have two standard types of gutter, box and Spanish. Box gutters look better with Long Span (Rib) and Corrugated. Spanish gutters look better with Multi Rib and Tile Span.

Roof FlushingFlashing refers to thin pieces of impervious material installed to prevent the passage of water into a structure from a joint or as part of a weather resistant barrier system. In modern buildings, flashing is intended to prevent water penetration at objects such as chimneys, vent pipes, walls, windows and door openings to make buildings more durable and to reduce indoor mold problems. We only included the most popular designs in the technical drawings below, and most of the designs are its gutter counterpart. Other flashing such has chimney, vent pipe, continuous and step types vary in specifications depending in the installer are not included in the drawings. But we could always manufacture this for you, provided you give us a technical drawing such as the ones below.

Roof Fascia CoverFascia is an architectural term for a vertical frieze or band under a roof edge, or which forms the outer surface of a cornice, visible to an observer. The horizontal "fascia board" which caps the end of rafters outside a building may be used to hold the rain gutter. The finished surface below the fascia and rafters is called the ceiling panel (AKA soffit or eave). The fascia cover is the metal used to cover this portion of the roof.

CEILING PANEL ACCESSORIESA ceiling panel is an exterior or interior architectural feature, generally the horizontal underside of any construction element. A structure to fill the space between the ceiling and the top of cabinets mounted on the wall is also called a soffit, as is the material connecting an exterior wall to the edge of the roof under the eaves. It has accessories used to attach the panels on the edges of the ceiling, or used to attach short panels to each other.
