Flashing profiles for roof edges, walls, and transitions
Roof flashing is formed sheet metal used at roof edges, walls, valleys, transitions, penetrations, parapets, and other locations where different building components meet.
Lakefront stocks several commonly requested flashing profiles and fabricates custom shapes when the required size, profile, metal, color, or application falls outside the stock list.
Before ordering, provide the profile, dimensions, metal, gauge, finish, quantity, application, and any relevant project drawings. Availability and fabrication requirements vary by order.

Kynar-coated 24-gauge steel

Primed Kynar counterflashing uses surplus Kynar material with the off-white primed reverse side facing outward. Availability may fluctuate.

Custom flashing and bending
Fabricated from your dimensions or drawing
Lakefront fabricates custom flashing and bent-metal components from galvanized steel, copper, and prepainted Kynar-coated sheet.
Provide a clear drawing showing the profile, dimensions, angles, hems, material, gauge, finish, quantity, and any project-specific requirements. Our team can review the request and provide current pricing and timing.
Shop Drawing InformationParapet coping
Traditional coping with cleats and cover plates
Traditional coping is commonly installed with a cleat attached to the face of the parapet. The coping hooks over the face cleat and is fastened at the rear with a compatible fastener and washer.
Seams can be sealed and covered with a matching snap-on cover plate. Final attachment, sealant, spacing, and installation requirements should be determined for the specific roof and project conditions.
Hidden-fastener coping systems
Double-cleat and spring-clip models
These two coping concepts use concealed attachment methods. Review the installation method, intended use, limitations, roof conditions, and project requirements before ordering.
Important: The existing Lakefront product information
states that these systems have not been laboratory tested for ASTM
compliance or wind-uplift performance and that no warranty is offered
or implied. They should not be specified without appropriate project,
design, and installation review.
CDC model
Double-cleat coping
Cleats are attached to both sides of the parapet. One hem of the coping remains open enough to engage the rear cleat and is then closed as part of the installation.
The existing description identifies this as a permanent installation intended for finished roofs, including roofs with decks or roof gardens.
Contact Lakefront for current cleat, fascia, fabrication, and applicable ANSI/SPRI documentation.
CSC model
Spring-clip coping
A face cleat is attached to the front of the parapet and spring clips are installed along the rear. The coping engages the face cleat and snaps onto the rear clips.
The system is removable to permit access to the roof membrane.
The existing product information states that this model is not suitable for roof decks or roof-garden conditions, because loading or sitting on the coping can release it from the clips and damage the system.
