What Is Aluminum Flashing Coil?
アルミニウム水切りは、接合部や角を通って構造物の内部に水が浸入するのを防ぐ連続した金属片で構成されています。. The idea behind flashing is that having an additional barrier put over an area where moisture can penetrate will make it nearly impossible for water to enter because the water must work against gravity. Aluminum and other metal flashings are used on surfaces exposed to weather.
Types of Flashing
Exposed flashing is composed of thin sheet metal. Aluminum is one of the metals most commonly used for flashing. Other metals used for this purpose include copper, 亜鉛メッキ鋼, ステンレス鋼, zinc alloy, lead and lead-coated copper. Concealed flashing may also be made of aluminum and other metals, but may also be made of bituminous fabric or plastic sheeting.
Applications of Aluminum flashing
Often manufactured in metal roll form, aluminum flashing can be used in a variety of other construction applications. Angle or wall Aluminum Flashing Coil may be embedded in a wall to prevent moisture seepage, typically around windows and at similar points of structural support.
