KONTROL Drip Strip

Product Information

Step One : Gently lift up the shingles on the edge of the roof and locate the nails holding the existing drip edge onto the roof.

Step One: If using a Type C drip edge, you can install a furring strip to increase its performance. A furring edge is a strip of one-by-two wood you install on the vertical surface of the house just beneath the roof’s edge. When you install the drip edge over this strip, it keeps the lower flange further from the home’s siding, which helps to keep water further from the home. There are a few elements that come into play that cause water to run behind the gutter. The first cause is when the roofing material is installed, many roofers will not extend the roofing material past the roof edging or drip edge. In some instances, by no fault of the roofing contractors, they are in compliance with the manufacturer’s recommended installation specifications. Step Three: Use roofing nails to secure the drip edge. Ideally, you’d nail about every 12 inches, and in no circumstances should you have 16 inches or more between nails. Step Six: Install the drip edge as normal. Then, bend in the flap of the drip edge to form a corner. You will complete this corner when you install the drip edges on the rakes.Drip edges are made of various plastics and metals, which are both acceptable under most building codes so long as the metals are corrosion-resistant or galvanized. If you’ve discovered your roof is missing a drip edge, or has a damaged drip edge, you can get in touch with a roofing contractor through our Roofing Contractor Locator to get professional advice.

Step Eleven: Fold the drip edge to fit over the ridge. Mark the plumb line, or centerline, as in the image below. Cut the topmost part of the drip edge along this line to create a finished look. Place a single nail in the outside piece to hold the drip edge in place.Type D: This profile of drip edge is shaped like a “T,” with a lower flange at the bottom. Sometimes it is called drip metal, “D-metal” or “T style.” The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) prefers this drip edge profile to Type C because it keeps the water further away from the fascia. However, Type C is still acceptable according to most building codes. What if you need to replace the drip edge on an existing roof or install a drip edge on an existing roof for the first time? It can be done; here’s how:
