Deck Flashing
Deck flashing refers to thin metal pieces that fit between deck sections and between the deck and the main dwelling to divert rain water and prevent it from collecting at the seams. Flashing can be made of stainless steel, copper, aluminum or zinc.
It's important that the deck flashing be installed correctly to keep water from pooling at the seams between the deck and the house. If this happens, the boards of the deck near the seam and the exterior siding where it meets the deck can be compromised. This can cause the boards and the siding to deteriorate rapidly, ruining the appearance and the integrity of the deck.
