A continuous strip of triangular cross section, fitted into the angle formed by a roof deck and a wall or other vertical surface. The 45-degree slope of the exposed surface of the cant strip provides a gradual transition for base flashing and roofing membrane from a horizontal roof surface to a vertical surface.
A triangular-shaped strip of material used to ease the transition from a horizontal plane to a vertical plane. Cant strips can be made of wood, wood fiber, perlite, or other materials.
A triangular shaped piece of lumber used at the junction of a flat deck and a wall to prevent cracking of the roofing which is applied over it.
A 45 degree beveled wood, fiberboard, or metal strips at the junction of the roof and a vertical surface used to break a right angle. Primarily used in low sloped roofing.
A beveled strip of material used to modify the transition from a horizontal plane to a vertical plane.
Beveled finishing material that is installed at the intersection to join the flat and vertical parts of a roof.
A beveled support used at the junction of a flat surface and a vertical surface to prevent bends and/or cracking of the roofing membrane at the intersection of the roof deck and wall. Used with a base flashing to minimize breaking of the roofing felts.
(1) A bevelled strip of wood or other material that fits into the angle formed by the intersection of a horizontal surface and a vertical surface. The 45° slope of the exposed surface of the cant strip provides a gradual angular transition from the horizontal surface to the vertical surface to prevent the cracking of roofing applied over it. (2) A wood board or a formed copper strip which is laid so as to cant the first row of shingles on a roof.
A beveled strip used under flashings of bituminous systems to modify the angle at the point where the roofing or waterproofing membrane meets any vertical element.
A bevelled or triangular-shaped strip of wood, wood-fibres, perlite, or other material (sand-cement) designed to serve as a gradual transitional plane between the horizontal surface of a roof deck or rigid insulation and a vertical surface.
A beveled strip used to break the 90 degree angle where the roof meets walls or curbs.
(1) A continuous strip of material (triangular in cross-section) used as a transition piece between the roof deck and a vertical surface, normally has a 45? sloping surface; (2) A beveled strip used under flashing to modify the angle at the point where the roofing or waterproofing membrane meets any vertical element; (3) A beveled strip of wood or wood fiber that fits into the angle formed by the intersection of a horizontal surface and a vertical surface. The 45? slope of the exposed surface of the cant strip provides a gradual angular transition form the horizontal surface to the vertical surface; (4) A beveled or triangular-shaped strip of wood, wood fiber, perlite or other material designed to serve as a gradual transitional plane between the horizontal surface of a roof deck or rigid insulation and a vertical surface; (5) A continuous strip of wood or fiber, fitted into an angle formed at the intersection of a horizontal surface and a vertical surface.
A beveled support used at the intersection of the roof deck with vertical surfaces so that bends in the roofing membrane to form base flashings can be made without breaking the felts.
Triangular section laid at the intersection of two surfaces to ease or eliminate effect of a sharp angle or projection.
1. A strip of material, usually treated wood or fiber, with a sloping face used to ease the transition from a horizontal to a vertical surface at the edge of a flat roof; prevents the roofing material from abruptly stopping at the parapet wall and also helps prevent leakage at that juncture. 2. A triangular shaped strip of wood used under shingles at gable ends or under the edges of roofing on flat decks.
