What Are Roof Flashings? 

Roof flashings are thin pieces of metal installed at roof joints, valleys, edges, and penetrations (like chimneys or skylights) to direct water away from vulnerable areas. Without them, water can seep into your roof cavity, causing leaks, rot, and long-term structural damage. 

Common types of roof flashings include: 

• Barge Flashings – Protect and finish the edges of the roof. 

• Valley Flashings – Channel water away where two roof planes meet. 

• Apron Flashings – Seal against walls and vertical surfaces. 

• Gutter Flashings – Assist with water runoff into gutters. 

Why Choose Colorbond Flashings? 

Colorbond steel has become the go-to roofing material in Australia thanks to its durability, style, and weather resistance. When you choose Colorbond flashings, you get: 

• Long-lasting performance – Resistant to rust, chipping, and peeling. 

• Seamless colour matching – Available in the full Colorbond colour range. 

• Clean modern look – Perfectly complements your roof, fascia, and guttering.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Flashing

What are roof flashings used for?

Roof flashings are installed at joints, valleys, and roof penetrations to prevent water from seeping into your home. They act as a protective barrier, directing rainwater safely into gutters and away from vulnerable areas.

Why should I choose Colorbond flashings?

Colorbond flashings are durable, corrosion-resistant, and designed for the harsh Australian climate. They also come in the full range of Colorbond colours, making it easy to match your flashings with your roof, guttering, or fascia for a seamless finish.

Can I order custom roof flashings?

Yes! At ClickSteel, we offer an exclusive Flashings Designer tool that lets you design and price custom flashings instantly. Whether you need unique dimensions or profiles, you can create the perfect fit online and order straight away.

Do I need a professional to install roof flashings?

While tradies and roofers can install flashings quickly, confident DIY renovators can also do the job with the right tools and safety precautions. Proper installation is crucial to avoid leaks — if you’re unsure, we recommend using a licensed installer.

How long do Colorbond flashings last?

When installed correctly, Colorbond roof flashings can last decades. Their protective coating resists chipping, peeling, and rusting, even in coastal and high-rainfall environments.
