Cleat

A cleat is a continuous metal strip used to securely anchor flashings, coping caps, and edge metals while allowing for expansion and contraction. It is typically fastened to the substrate and designed to receive a hooked edge from a separate flashing component. Its main function is to provide a strong, concealed hold that supports the integrity and longevity of the flashing system.

Features:

• Provides secure attachment for edge metals, flashings, and coping caps

• Allows for thermal movement without compromising waterproofing

• Concealed fastening system for a clean, professional finish

• Enhances wind resistance and structural performance

• Manufactured to match associated flashings in material and finish

Commonly Paired Flashings:

• Coping Cap – Held in place using continuous cleats for secure and flexible installation

• Drip Edge – Some profiles utilize cleats for enhanced wind uplift protection

• Gravel Stop – Often installed with cleats to maintain edge stability

• Fascia Flashing – May use cleats for improved edge anchoring
