Tuff Stuff A200 Drip Edge Trim 3m
Drip edge trims are fitted to the lowest edge of the roof where the rainwater flows into the gutter.
To ensure the vertical leg of the trim sits into the centre of the gutter, the trim needs to be packed out by using two support battens, the first fixed just below the level of the deck and the second 10mm below the first, to allow the trim to sit flush with the roof.
Before offering the trim into place, apply beads of PU trim adhesive approx. 30mm long at 300mm centres to the batten.
The trim can now be rubbed into place and the flange clout nailed or stapled to the deck. For low pitched roofs, the profile of the trim may cause rainwater to pond slightly at the front edge.
To avoid this, plane approximately 2mm off the leading edge of the deck the width of the trim flange so the trim can be recessed into the front edge and lay completely flush with the roof.
All trim overlaps should be sealed with PU trim adhesive and bandaged.
