Angle sheets

High-quality corner sheets in various designs

 

Corner sheets are available in countless designs for many different uses. They are also used, among other things, as terminations on roofs. There, they serve as a connection between the vertical elements of the building and the roof surface.

 

The function of the angle sheet in this case is primarily to seal existing gaps at the transition, so that rainwater cannot penetrate, but can instead be drained off as intended.

 

The most important facts about corner sheets at a glance

 

  • Corner sheets can be used as terminations on roofs to create a connection between vertical components and the roof.

  • In addition to the visual aspects, the primary purpose of attaching corner sheets is to prevent water penetration.

  • Corner sheets are made from various metals such as zinc titanium, aluminum, stainless steel and copper.

  • For good material compatibility, corner sheets should be made of the same material as the rest of the roof sheets and gutters.

  • In some cases, the corner sheets have what is called a water seal, which serves as an additional protection against water penetration.

 

What metal are the corner sheets made of?

 

The angle sheet designation only gives information about the shape. On the other hand, no conclusions can be drawn about the material. This is because angle sheets can be made from various metals. In addition to aluminium and stainless steel, these also include titanium zinc and copper.

 

As a rule, each of these metals has individual advantages and disadvantages. So we can't say which material is the right one in every case. In most cases, however, it is wise to make sure that the corner sheets are made of the same metal as the rest of the roof sheets.

 

Aluminum corner sheets

 

Aluminum is known for its lightness. At the same time, it is rustproof and impresses with its good weather resistance. These properties make aluminum an ideal material for angle iron.

 

Zinc-titanium corner plates

 

Zinc-titanium scores high on durability and is exceptionally strong. Titanium zinc corner plates attached to roofs acquire a characteristic greyish patina over time. If this is to be avoided, they need to be painted.

 

Stainless steel corner plates

 

Stainless steel is known for its strength and long life. So it's no surprise that stainless steel is increasingly being used for structural elements such as gutters, valley and eave flashings, and corner flashings.

 

Copper angle sheets

 

Copper is one of those metals that have been used as a building material for a very long time. Older houses, in particular, very often have copper gutters and roof sheets, which can be recognized very easily by their typical greenish patina. Of course, copper angles can also be installed on new buildings. However, in this case, it is important to note that copper is not compatible with various other metals.

 

Colored angle iron

 

The corner plates are also available in colour upon request. This means that they can be purchased in a colour to match the building, creating a consistent overall look. In many cases, by the way, only the intended exterior of the corner sheet is colored. Of course, this fact should be kept in mind when purchasing.

 

Corner sheets with and without water fold

 

Angle flashing is available as a roof termination with and without a water seal. A water seal is a back edge at the edge of the sheet. Its purpose is to prevent water from flowing in the wrong direction.

 

The seam thus provides additional protection against moisture. Depending on the type of roof, it may be advisable to use corner flashings with such a water seal.

 

What to look for when purchasing corner sheets?

 

Just like other roofing sheets, corner sheets must of course also be able to convince in terms of quality. After all, the sheets should be as durable as possible and not have to be replaced again after only a few years.

 

Besides this, it is of course important to pay attention to the right length and angle. The angular deviation is the total width the sheet would have without the angle. So it is the sum of the dimensions of the two legs.

 

In addition, it is very important to pay attention to the right compatibility of materials. Some metals are not compatible with each other, so it is usually a good idea to buy all roofing sheets and gutters made of the same metal for this purpose.

 

This is especially true for copper, which should not be combined with zinc with titanium and steel, for example, or it will cause excessive corrosion.
