Starter 10’ improves the overall performance of the roofing system by ensuring proper water runoff at the eave. As a result, it helps prevent water intrusion under the first panel and protects vulnerable roof edges.
In addition, the trim supports consistent panel alignment, improving installation accuracy and the long-term durability of the roof system.
Installation Advantages
Starter 10’ installs at the roof edge or wall transition area and provides a secure base for fastening the first row of panels. Moreover, its geometry allows installers to position panels precisely and maintain clean edge lines.
Because of its design, the flashing integrates easily with both metal tile and standing seam roofing systems, ensuring compatibility across different project types.
