Hey,

The chimneys in our homes require maintenance. I noticed the chimney had rust stains inside the firebox. Out of concern, I began to Google ‘types of chimney flashing and their meaning’. Without chimney flashing, you might experience water penetration and damage to your attic and rooms. 

What is chimney flashing?

It is a type of roof flashing that is constructed to create a waterproof seal to protect the roof, and chimney from any water seepage or water damage. In simple words, Chimney flashing acts as weather stripping for your chimney. It consists of three parts. Those are step flashing, counter flashing or cap flashing and base flashing.

Chimney flashings are installed where the roof and chimney connect. Flashing can be made out of vinyl, aluminium, copper, steel, etc. The life of chimney flashing is long-lasting. Depending on the environmental condition, it can last for twenty-five to thirty years. 

What are the types of flashings?

Steel –

It is commonly used for chimney flashing. Its popularity can be traced to its strength and anti-corrosive properties.

Copper –

It is extremely lightweight and durable and boosts the curb. Though it is an expensive option to consider, it will last you a lifetime.

Vinyl or PVC –

Vinyl chimney cricket flashing is preferred for properties located in warm climatic conditions. In extreme weather conditions, it can crack.

Aluminium –

This is a popular choice amongst homeowners. It is inexpensive and can easily be installed on any type of roof. Aluminium is rust-resistant as well. 

I hope you now have the answer to the types of chimney flashing.
