Roof flashing strip and method of production

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention discloses a prefabricated flashing strip for weatherproofing the intersection of an upright wall and a shingled roof, the strip comprising: a plurality of partially overlapping adjacently disposed flashing cards, each of the plurality of partially overlapping adjacently disposed flashing cards having a substantially vertical portion and a substantially horizontal portion; means for sealably mounting the vertical portion of each of the plurality of partially overlapping adjacently disposed flashing cards to the vertical portion of an adjacent flashing card, forming a substantially watertight seal therebetween; and wherein a shingle is slidably seated between the substantially horizontal portion of each of the plurality of partially overlapping adjacently disposed flashing cards.
The present invention provides a flashing strip which includes a plurality of flashing cards, each flashing card having a vertically oriented surface and a horizontally oriented surface.
Each flashing card is partially overlappingly mounted to an adjacent flashing card at their vertically oriented surfaces to create the flashing strip of the present invention.
This is accomplished by several methods including stapling and/or gluing the partially overlapping vertically oriented surfaces to one another.
The flashing strip of the present invention may be configured to have a specific length and may be sizeable by a roofer by removing one or more individual flashing cards from the flashing strip to meet the specific requirements of the job being performed.
