the apron flashing around the dormers should be???
flashings around the chimney should be????
homemade vent pipe flashings should be????

20 ounce copper weighs 20 ounces per square foot while 16 ounce copper weighs 16 ounces per square foot. 20 ounce then, is thicker and lasts longer. They are interchangeable, but the 20 ounce is better to use in areas where more wear is expected, such as valleys. 20 ounce can be used in all applications as well: step flashings, etc., for a better job. |
