addressed with METALWORKS
specialty materials such as Trim

transition flashing using METALWORKS
Trim Coil over last course of shingles

above the transition area using nails or screws 18” o.c.

Flashing should overlap last course of shingles minimum
3-1/2 inches. Also lap underlayment over the top portion of
the transition flashing. (not shown)

• Install METALWORKS Starter Flashing over transition flashing

. Bend the Starter Flashing’s edge to lay flat and create lock

for next course of shingles. Fasten Starter Flashing 18” o.c.
two rows in staggered pattern.
