come through, you can bend the mesh flat to close the gap, or you can put a screw through both.
Fill the gap between drip edge and gutter install#
So, in my opinion, there is only one way to install a drip edge properly, and it’s with the furring strip. what type of gutter and roof configuration you have. I’ve watched the water run down fascia boards and rafter tails on rainy days with the drip edge doing little if anything. The best way is to install the roof drip edge only along the eaves first, then place ice-and-water barrier (in the snowbelt) or felt paper (underlayment) over. It creates soggy siding, encourages termite activity, and hugely increases any potential for rot.Ī lot of roofers may disagree with me on this, saying that the kick out on the drip edge does its job without needing the furring strip, but experience is the greatest teacher. Finally, a rain gutter is installed at the edge of the roof to complete the roofing drainage system. This lazy installation causes all kinds of damage to much more than just the fascia. You want water to stay off your house if you hope to avoid rot. A dab of roofing cement or silicone caulk to hole it in place for a couple years. But as a stop gap, you could just use some 4' wide metal slid under the shingles and out an inch to direct water. If the drip edge is laid right up against the fascia or rafters, then because of surface tension, the water runs right up against the fascia and underneath the soffit. Flat roof: Bend the mesh up or down and fasten to the back of the gutter, drip edge or fascia with screws. If indeed you do not have eave edge, three is little you can do without re-roofing to install the metal drip edge. The drip edge should be installed over a piece of 1×2 furring strip so that it stands off from the fascia or rafter tails.
It will protect part of the fascia and also the roof deck, but it wont actually direct the. This small little detail is incredibly important! I can’t stress this enough. A drip edge fits under the shingles and over the edge of the trim.
