Tactile Stone Coated Steel Roofing Edge Profile Cafe

Tactile Roofing Edge Profile

The Tactile Stone Coated Steel Roofing Edge Profile Cafe provides a professional finish for gable ends and roof perimeters while ensuring maximum weather protection. This essential accessory seals the gap between the roof deck and the fascia, preventing wind uplift and water ingress in residential and commercial projects. Engineered from high-tensile steel with a multi-layered protective coating, the component matches the durability and aesthetic of the primary roofing tiles.

Built for the Job

Roofing contractors utilize this barge board trim to secure the edges of a stone-coated steel roof system. It acts as a structural barrier against crosswinds that often target the gable ends of a building. The Cafe brown finish provides a uniform look that hides the raw edges of cut tiles. By directing water runoff away from the underlying timber structure, the trim prevents rot in the rafters and fascia boards. It is specifically designed for high-wind areas where standard flashing might fail under pressure.

• Finishing gable ends on pitched residential roofs.

• Sealing roof perimeters against bird and rodent entry.

• Protecting fascia boards from direct water exposure and moisture damage.

• Securing the perimeter tiles against high-velocity wind uplift.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Install this trim using serrated galvanized nails driven through the side of the profile into the barge board.

• Maintain a minimum overlap of 50mm between consecutive pieces to ensure a water-tight seal along the gable.

• Use a tin snip or specialized stone-coated cutter for adjustments; avoid using high-speed grinders which can burn the protective coating.

• Ensure the underlayment or roofing felt extends slightly under the trim for secondary moisture protection.
