A stainless steel Z flashing is a Z-shaped metal flashing component used to prevent water penetration at horizontal joints, wall intersections, roof transitions, and building envelope connections.
A stainless steel Z flashing is:
- A bent stainless steel flashing profile with a Z-shaped cross-section designed to direct water away from wall and roof joints
- Installed behind siding, panels, masonry, or cladding systems to create a drainage barrier
- Available in custom lengths, widths, thicknesses, and profiles for different construction requirements
It is used to:
- Prevent water intrusion behind exterior wall systems
- Redirect moisture away from vulnerable joints
- Protect building structures from water damage
- Improve the durability and weather resistance of walls and roofing systems
