In December, 2021 the team of roofing experts at Dickson Contractors completed the installation of an all custom copper flashing to a roof in Wilmette, Illinois. This project turned out to be a real show stopper! The added protection to this home’s roof added some serious curb appeal that will for sure be the envy of the neighborhood.
What is Flashing?
- Flashing is a cut-to-fit sheet metal material that is fastened under a roof’s shingles and other vulnerable roof areas. A home’s flashing works to prevent water from seeping into the roof’s decking, attic, and home.
Why Choose Copper Flashing
- Copper is a beautiful, reliable, and long-lasting material that is commonly used for roof flashing.
- Copper flashing is easier to older than aluminum and provides more versatility and durability.
- Copper offers excellent resistance to UV light and humidity.
- Copper adds a timeless look to a home.
- Copper flashing will last up to 70-100 years.
