What barge capping on the top end of a skillion roof with trimdek?

I can see that barge capping for the roof sides is readily available for a trimdek profile. Generally has the extra width and a 3cm lip at 110 degrees.  But I am unsure about what type of flashing is used on the top end of the skillion roof to match up. Do you just buy the same profile and then snip out sections to accommodate for each of the ridges of the trimdek sheets?

Re: barge capping on the top end of a skillion roof with trimdek?

Hi @MattyE1,

 

There are a few options to consider, in order of difficulty. The first is to order specific trim types from the manufacturer through our Special Orders desk. We only keep a basic range in-store, but often you'll find an extended range we can order in for you with a matching profile. The second method would be not to cut the capping and instead install a foam filler under it, which occupies the shape of the trim deck and gets compressed when the capping is screwed down. The third option would be to cut the capping into the profile shape and then seal it down to the sheets with Sikaflex 11FC.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
