What gauge metal is aluminum flashing? - toyota1515 - 05-15-2024
Aluminum flashing coil is composed of continuous pieces of metal that prevent water from passing through a joint or angle into the interior of a structure. The idea behind flashing is that having an additional barrier put over an area where moisture can penetrate will make it nearly impossible for water to enter because the water must work against gravity. Aluminum and other metal flashings are used on surfaces exposed to the weather.
