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
