Counter Flashing

Counter flashing is installed over base flashing to create a secure waterproof seal, typically around chimneys and walls. It prevents water from entering behind flashing materials and ensures long-term leak protection. Counter flashing is essential in multi-layer roofing systems and is especially important in areas exposed to heavy rainfall.
