J Channel - Flashing for metal roof installations

Products custom made to order

J Channels are designed to be used in metal roofing applications. The J channel flashing metal acts as a receiver for metal roof panels, ridge caps and headwall flashing. It also helps waterproofing a roof, since its installation is water directional.

There are mainly 3 types of j channels: A simple J channel with no hem, a hemmed J channel for exposed applications, and a J channel with a nailer that receives the flat portion of a metal roof panel that can be then screwed to a roof. As an alternative, z channels may be used.

These items are always custom fabricated, therefore can be custom made to any profile, angle, size and many different materials. Normally, these items measure 10' in length but can also be bent in 12' lengths. We can also match any profile.

Riverside provides J Channel flashing metal to general contractors, roofers and do-it-yourself home owners. Special pricing available for large quantities.
