Amerimax Home Products 68008 Aluminum Flashing Roll 8in X 50ft

Product Description

The AMERIMAX HOME PRODUCTS 68008 is a mill finish aluminum flashing roll used to seal and weatherproof transitions, joints, and penetrations in roofing, siding, and masonry assemblies. The roll measures 8 inches wide by 50 feet long and is formed from aluminum sheet stock at a thickness of 0.0092 inches. The mill finish surface accepts paint and coatings readily, making it adaptable to a wide range of finish requirements. Roofers, general contractors, and skilled tradespeople use this flashing where a durable, corrosion-resistant barrier is needed around chimneys, vents, windows, and similar through-wall or roof-deck details.

This flashing roll is suited for residential and light commercial applications. It is commonly used in roof valleys, step flashing, counter flashing, and window or door head flashing. The 50-foot roll length provides enough material to complete multiple flashing details on a single project without splicing. The aluminum construction resists rust and holds up in direct weather exposure over the long term.

Installation Notes

Aluminum flashing is typically installed by roofing contractors or general tradespeople familiar with local building code requirements. Cut to length using aviation snips or a utility knife and straightedge, and wear gloves to protect against sharp edges. Secure flashing with appropriate fasteners or roofing cement per the applicable building code, and lap all joints in the direction of water flow to prevent infiltration. Do not allow aluminum flashing to contact pressure-treated lumber or dissimilar metals without an approved separation membrane, as galvanic corrosion may occur.
