Amerimax Home Products 70981 Flat Galvanized Flashing Shingle

Product Description

The AMERIMAX HOME PRODUCTS 70981 is a flat galvanized flashing shingle used in roofing and exterior waterproofing applications. Measuring 8 inches by 12 inches, it provides a corrosion-resistant metal layer at roof-to-wall intersections, around chimneys, and at other penetration points where water intrusion is a concern. The galvanized steel construction gives it long-term durability in exposed conditions. Roofing contractors and general contractors install this type of flashing as part of code-compliant water management assemblies. Each package contains 50 pieces, making it practical for both small repairs and larger residential roofing projects.

This flat flashing shingle is suited for residential roofing applications where a pre-cut, flat metal shingle is needed to step-flash or layer against roofing material. It works at vertical wall intersections, dormers, and similar transitions where moisture must be directed away from the structure. The flat profile allows it to lie flush under shingle courses or against masonry. Roofing professionals can cut or bend the piece on-site to meet specific job requirements.

Installation Notes

Flat flashing shingles are typically installed by licensed roofing contractors following local building codes and manufacturer roofing system guidelines. Secure all surrounding roofing material and ensure the work area is stable before beginning flashing installation. Do not install over damaged or deteriorated substrate; inspect and repair the deck and underlayment before placing flashing. Follow applicable local codes for fastener type, lap dimensions, and sealant use at flashing terminations.
