Floating Peak Flashing/High Side Eave - Part #WS-457

Floating peak trim means that the standing seam panels aren't pinned in place at the peak/high eave. This allows for expansion and contraction. If you have a floating peak, you will need a fixed connection at the other end of the standing seam panel.

Most of the jobs that we supply have a fixed peak and a floating eave. This detail is not used that often.

Peak flashing is a metal cap for a single slope roof condition that caps off the high end of the slope. Peak trim acts like a ridge cap to keep water, snow, and ice from getting under the roof. It’s also referred to as high side eave trim.

Snow Retention Systems

When snow accumulations begin to melt, the result can be catastrophic as the blanket of snow avalanches off the roof dumping tons of snow onto anything in its path.

It can damage landscape, gutters, adjacent roofs, vehicles and cause injury or death to passers-by. All of S-5!’s snow retention systems dramatically reduce these risks associated with rooftop avalanches while maintaining the clean lines of the roof.
