How an eaves flashing directs rainwater into the gutter

The drip edge above the gutter is a flashing at the lower edge of the roof slope that helps direct water from the eaves into the gutter and protects the eaves zone. To assess its performance, trace the path of a droplet from higher up the slope to the outlet and check that each lap carries water onward rather than under the previous layer. Shape and position must suit the covering, membrane and ventilation. Simply sliding metal under the first sheet may not suffice, so the detail is matched to the roof layout.

Why does a metre of roof panel cost differently from a metre of wall panel?

Roof and wall perform under different conditions. They have different profiles, connections and loads. That is why their prices per metre should not be compared without describing the variant. Even an identical core and thickness do not make an identical product. A reliable quote separates panels, accessories and installation. It also lets you check what you are paying for in each part of the building. A roof panel must work with the slope and drainage system. Its outer skin usually has a pronounced trapezoidal profile. A wall panel may have a flat or lightly profiled surface. Connections are designed for a specific layout and fixing method.
