Wall flashing is a protective metal barrier installed where a vertical wall meets a sloped roof to prevent water intrusion. This page covers wall flashing for buildings in Wellington, Florida.

Wall Flashing in Wellington

Wellington, Florida, presents unique challenges for metal roofing and fabrication due to its proximity to the coast, exposing structures to corrosive salt air and high winds characteristic of hurricane-prone regions. The subtropical climate brings intense humidity and heat, which can accelerate material degradation and affect installation processes. Building stock in Wellington varies, with some older structures potentially requiring more extensive preparation before new metalwork can be applied.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Coastal environments necessitate the use of corrosion-resistant metal alloys and appropriate coatings to withstand salt spray.
  • Hurricane preparedness includes selecting robust fastening systems and materials rated for high wind loads.
  • Proper ventilation and sealing are crucial to manage humidity and prevent condensation, which can lead to issues over time.
  • Consider the specific substrate of existing buildings, as preparation methods may need adjustment for optimal adhesion and longevity.

What the work involves

This process involves cutting and shaping sheet metal to create a custom-fit flashing system. The metal is then securely attached to both the wall and the roof, overlapping in a way that directs water away from the vulnerable joint.

When this comes up

  • During new roof construction to properly seal wall-to-roof intersections.
  • When replacing an existing roof system.
  • If the current flashing is damaged, deteriorated, or improperly installed.
  • To address leaks or water stains appearing at the base of a wall where it meets the roof.
