How to Fit Metal Counterflashing
Learn how to fix metal counterflashing on a wall to help waterproof your flat roof. Using mechanically-fixed techniques with Elevate EPDM membranes in this way creates a seal and a finish on flat roofing that looks great and works perfectly.
Our easy-to-follow instruction video illustrates the method of measuring and securely fixing counterflashing around changing angles, such as a chimney on a flat roof. The PermaRoof UK metal counterflashing detail is fixed to the wall into a chase and is designed to prevent water running down the brickwork and seeping behind the EPDM roofing membrane.
Using EPDM membrane and metal counterflashing is an effective alternative to traditional felt roofing and lead flashing; simpler to work with and longer-lasting, it is ideal for DIY flat roofing, requiring few specialist tools, no toxic chemical bondings and once installed, the flat roof requires little or no maintenance.
Watch our how-to guide to fixing metal flashing to an upstanding wall adjacent to a flat roof – you will be amazed at how easy it is to work with the RubberCover EPDM system.
