What is flashing sheet?
Flashing is one of the types of metal sheets available in the market for sealing and sealing sandwich panels, which in addition gives a beautiful appearance to the facade of the structure. If you are not familiar with a structure like a sandwich panel, you can refer to what is a sandwich panel and learn about this type of prefabricated building material. Now, on the Asia Panel website, we have decided to produce another article on what is the flash sheet, its benefits and applications.
After installing the sandwich panels, there are seams and gaps between the installed sheets, and the flashing sheet is one of the accessories designed and produced to cover these seams and to seal the structure. Due to the fact that the installation and implementation of sandwich panels is somewhat different for each project and structure, flashings are also designed and produced in various forms.
Flashings are usually produced with a thickness of 0.4 mm and in types of aluzinc, galvanized or aluminum sheets. In addition to flushing, equipment such as gutter sheet are used to direct the water from rain and snow to the gutters and the ground surface.
