Shaped like a “U” or channel to catch water (e.g., where the edge of a tile roof meets a wall). Through wall flashing Spans the thickness of the wall and directs water to weep holes. Cap flashing (drip cap) Often used above windows and doors. Drip edge A metal used at the edges of a roof. Step flashing (soaker, base flashing)
[10] A roof must be designed with a suitable fall to allow the rainwater to discharge. The water drains into a gutter that is fed into a downpipe. A flat roof should have a watertight surface with a minimum finished fall of 1 in 80. They can drain internally or to an eaves gutter, which has a minimum 1 in 360 fall towards the downpipe.
Eaves must be designed for local wind speeds as the overhang can significantly increase the wind loading on the roof. [7] The line on the ground under the outer edge of the eaves is the eavesdrip, or dripline, and in typical building planning regulations defines the extent of the building and cannot oversail the property boundary.
A ratio of 10:1 cladding leakage area to ventilation area has been suggested. [2] A water/air resistant membrane is placed between the furring and the sheathing to prevent rain water from entering the wall structure. The membrane directs water away and toward special drip edge flashings which protect other parts of the building.
