Perforated Z Flashing

Perforated Z flashing is the same as standard Z flashing, but it has small holes across the metal channel. This is a primary component in a ridge ventilation system; the perforations allow for more airflow up and out of the ridge cap. Perforated Z Flashing is designed to work in unison with soffit bends to allow more airflow in the overall system. This adds a textured look to the Z flashing channel but also connects the two pieces of plywood like standard Z flashing. This form of Z flashing is most commonly used when water prevention is not necessary, as the home or business has a gutter system is in place, or if it’s on the opposite side of where water is drained to. It can be a challenge to find a company that perforates its metal panels. This is because it takes special machinery and extra time. However, our team of professionals is highly experienced in perforating Z flashing, making us the best place to order it for your project. The FW Custom Metals team can also provide a consultation to see if perforated Z flashing or standard Z flashing is best for the residential and business property.
