What Is Gable Trim?
Gable trim is used to finish off the edge of your roof. It’s installed on the two high sides of the roof, not the low side of the roof that follows the pitch. There is also a kick-out on the bottom of the gable trim that will help direct water away from your wall. A gable trim provides a watertight seal for your roof when combined with a sealant.
Rake Trim Versus Gable Trim
You might hear these two terms and be wondering what the difference is. Not to worry - gable and rake are just interchangeable terms for the exact same thing.
Does A Metal Roof Need Gable Trim?
Gable trim serves an integral role in strengthening and sealing your entire roof system. Gable trim creates watertight transitions in the critical locations where the roof’s slope or direction changes. Together with metal roofing panels, gable trim reduces the chance of water leaking through ceilings. If you want a clean looking and weather-tight roof, then you will need gable trim.
Installing Gable Trim: A Step-By-Step Guide
We would suggest that you read the manufacturers installation guide prior to installation of gable flashing on a metal roof. You’ll also want to make sure to be in compliance with local building code requirements.
