Condensation eaves strip

Eaves flashings

Eaves flashings are one of the most important technical details of a roof; they are responsible not only for the aesthetic finish of the roof edge but, above all, for the proper functioning of the entire roofing system

The most important functions of eave flashings include:

• Effective drainage of rainwater and meltwater into the gutter system,
• protection of the roof layers against capillary seepage,
• protecting the eave structure, fascia board, and facade from moisture,
• ensuring the roof coverings are watertight in the eaves area,
• protecting the roof deck from rain, snow, and strong winds being blown under the roofing,
• ensuring proper ventilation of the roof surface,
• draining condensation and moisture from the pre-covering,
• to increase the roof’s durability and operational safety.

Special attention should be paid to ensuring that the eave flashings are properly connected to the roof membranes, the gutter system, and the ventilation components. An improperly installed eave detail can lead to moisture penetration in the thermal insulation, deterioration of the wooden structure, and reduced effectiveness of roof ventilation.

Condensation eaves strip

A condensation eaves strip, also known as a flashing, is a component installed in the eave area designed to drain condensate and moisture from the pre-covering to the gutter system or outside the building — depending on the eave design and the drainage system configuration. Eaves flashings protect the eave structure from moisture, safeguard the fascia board, and promote proper ventilation of the roof deck.:
