Strips and additional elements (shaped elements) are metal products of profiled shape, which are used for protection and decorative design of corners, joints, crevices of various shapes and designs. Basically, flashings and extensions are used in construction to cover unprotected areas of the roof, facades and other elements from the influence of external factors such as dust and moisture. Also, shaped elements are installed as a decorative element, allowing you to give a complete look to the structure.
Installation of sandwich panels
A sandwich panel is a building material consisting of flat metal sheets with insulation between the sheets.
The insulation can be:
- Mineral wool.
- Expanded polystyrene.
- Styrofoam.
- Basalt insulation.
- Polyurethane foam.
You can read all the information about wood-look facade panels here.
Metal flat sheets are made from galvanized iron. This material makes it possible to serve for many years. Often, the outer side of a galvanized sheet is coated with special paint. Painted sheets in different colors give the house not only style and a certain color, but also provide additional protection.
Finishing external walls with sandwich panels is carried out not only for private houses. This material is used to line the walls of hangars, warehouses, domestic buildings, supermarkets and other buildings and structures.
The arrangement of external walls with sandwich panels is carried out not only during the construction or construction of a private house, but also after the building has been constructed.

Rules
To get a truly durable building, you need to follow some rules:
- Purchase truly high-quality building materials and structural parts;
- Carry out proper installation of the facade. Shaped elements for sandwich-type slabs are in most cases mounted directly on the facade. For this reason, their quality is extremely important to achieve a durable building façade. Their clear and precise dimensions and correct geometric shapes are also important. There is no need to talk about the absence of defects of various types.
- Provide the façade of the building with rare but regular maintenance. The fact is that sandwich panels as a facing material do not require frequent specialized care, but it is also not worth leaving the façade of buildings completely unattended after its construction is completed.
If you follow these three rules, you will certainly receive a long-awaited and very high-quality facade for your home.
Basic rules for installation
Before you begin installation work, you must ensure that you have the necessary tools. After this, we begin cladding the house.
- The first thing you need to do is install a structure that consists of metal or wooden slats. These slats are attached to the base of the walls of the house.
Metal structures must be treated with a metal primer to prevent corrosion. Wooden slats are treated with a special antiseptic, which protects against pests and moisture ingestion of the slats.
- Making a sealing gasket. Laying is done by applying polyurethane foam, but not for all types of insulation. For polyurethane, foam is used, but for mineral wool it is better to use mineral wool itself.
- The frame elements are covered with polymer tape. You can use sealant instead of tape.
- When connecting the panels to each other, silicone sealant is applied to the locks.
- Installation of strips is carried out at joints, corners and slopes.
We will consider in more detail what flashings are, what types there are and why they are needed, but first we will describe the procedure for installing sandwich panels.
This information will tell you about the technology of finishing concrete stairs with wood.
In what cases should you use flashings?
These protective elements are recommended to be used even when the slopes are lined with putty and plasterboard structures. Almost always, due to thermal expansion and even slight shrinkage of buildings, cracks that widen over time appear in the places where they join the frames, and the putty gradually breaks off and crumbles. A metal, wooden or plastic flashing completely covers the expanding gap with a reserve, protects the mounting foam from external influences and prevents depressurization of the window structure.
The exception is situations when internal and external slope systems are used for finishing. These protective and decorative structures are equipped with a special starting strip, which serves as a cover plate. Find out more at OknaTrade about these excellent systems for decorating internal and external slopes.
Installation of sandwich panels: procedure
First, you need to purchase additional consumables that are necessary for installing sandwich panels:
- Special screws of a certain length.
- Materials for sealing.
- Covers.
You also need a tool to carry out the work.
Clean the walls from dust or dirt. The walls do not need to be thoroughly cleaned, but it is better if they are clean. After this, the installation of wooden or metal slats is carried out on which the panel will be attached.
We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with the information about making steps for stairs from porcelain stoneware.
It is important to make an even frame so that there are no problems when aligning the panels.
Next, the order of work is as follows:
- They move on to inspecting the castles. The panel filler should not protrude beyond the inner shelf of the lock, especially if it is mineral wool. If there are any, remove them with a scraper.
- The panels are installed from the corner of the house. The first sheet is aligned along the corner and continues in the same mode.
- When the panel sits smoothly, you can begin to secure it. Fastening is carried out by screwing self-tapping screws of a certain length.
- It is important to use self-tapping screws with a rubber washer, which prevents damage to the galvanized panel. Self-tapping screws must be placed at a distance of 5 cm from each other.
- Now it is necessary to carry out sealing. Sealing material is applied to the joint joints.
This is what the technology for installing sandwich panels looks like. Installation is not particularly difficult, so even inexperienced people can cover a house with sandwich panels.
The secret of proper installation of flashings for PVC windows, types of plates
Let's assume that the installation of the PVC window was successful and the finishing of the slopes is also pleasing with the result.
Everything would be great, but there is a gap on the outside. It’s small, but it needs to be eliminated without compromising the appearance of the window. The solution to the problem lies in the use of a strip - a plastic polyvinyl chloride strip for sticking on top of the frames. When faced with self-adhesive strips on sale and those without an adhesive strip, remember that the latter will look neater on the frame. But provided that the installation is professional. Self-adhesive strips are installed without the use of additional tools, which simplifies the task of fastening. However, if you examine the window closely, you will see a protruding edge on it.
Preliminary work
Have you ever encountered the installation of flashings before? Then keep in mind that the recommendations listed below are required to be followed if you want the result to please you for a long time.
You can glue strips only when it’s warm. If the temperature is below 5 degrees Celsius, the adhesive compositions freeze and lose their properties.
First, clean the frame, carefully removing dust, dirt and, if any, remnants of polyurethane foam. Can't do without wet washing? Then, after cleaning the surface, you need to wait until it becomes completely dry.
It is advisable to wear gloves to prevent your hands from getting glue stains. When working with a self-adhesive strip, do not peel off the protective film from the entire strip at once. Remove no more than 20 cm, glue, press, then repeat the steps, but with the next section of the strip. You will have to tinker with the plates that need to be coated with adhesive: sometimes there is little glue, sometimes there is a lot, sometimes something else.
Therefore, it is better to overpay a little for a self-adhesive strip, but then work calmly: remove the protective strip, close the gap, remove it and seal it, and so on.
Where else can it be used?
If you haven’t calculated the purchase of finishing material, you can use the remaining strips to seal the problem areas of the slopes, the places where the polyurethane foam is visible.
What are metal flashings?
An important point when installing panels is the installation of strips.
Strips are auxiliary elements when installing sandwich panels. They are also called false strips. The main purpose of the strips is to hide joints and other defects that arise during the installation process.
Installation of strips is carried out at the final stages of cladding the house.
In addition to the fact that the strips serve as decorative elements for the home and hide joints, corners and slopes, they also perform the following functions:
- Provide thermal and steam protection. If the joints and corners are not hidden with these strips, then heat flow can pass through them. How to choose a material for soundproofing walls is described in this material.
- Perform the function of noise and sound insulation. If you leave the joints without covering them with flashings, then the passage of sound into the house will be noticeable.
- They do not allow moisture to pass through. They not only protect the house from moisture penetration, but also protect the insulation inside the panel from getting wet.
Characteristic
In the case of the construction of prefabricated structures from sandwich panels, special metal strips are almost always used. Their installation is carried out after the cladding has been attached to the supporting structure. Such products serve as a cover for sandwich-type joints of panels and provide reliable heat, steam, moisture, sound and noise insulation for buildings for various purposes. In addition to these important functions, products of this kind give the facade of the house a complete and holistic look. Look at the following photo to see for yourself.
Types of flashings
Installation of strips and their features
- If sandwich panels are fastened in a horizontal position, then it is necessary to use vertical fastening strips. Such strips ensure tightness of the joints and also give a neat design to the sandwich panel. Thanks to such metal strips, there will be no access for wind, snow and water inside the joints of the panels, which will ensure their joint strength and prevent destruction.
- Installation of vertical flashings must be done from bottom to top. This is necessary to align the planks at the joints. Fastening must be done every 30 cm using special self-tapping screws with a rubber washer.
- For maximum protection of the house and the joints of the sandwich panels, you must use silicone sealant. All joints between the plates are coated and then covered with strips.
Strips are also used to connect corners and window slopes. It is impossible to do without the use of strips, because although they are not the main element of the installation of sandwich panels, their use still allows you to get rid of many problems. Depending on the design, flashings can also be used to close the joints of sandwich panels on the roof of a house.
More details about the types and materials from which flashings are made are described in the next paragraph.

Types of corners: self-adhesive, aluminum, galvanized steel
For additional protection of sandwich panel joints, the following types of flashings are used, which are manufactured in production:
- Self-adhesive corner . Basically, this type of flashing is made of plastic. A special layer of adhesive tape up to 1 mm thick is applied to one side. Installation is carried out by removing the film from the strip and gluing it to the base. The disadvantage of using self-adhesive strips is that they cannot be installed in cold weather. If there is a need to install such a cover in frosty weather, then it is necessary to warm up its sides to a certain temperature. But it is better to install it in the summer. We also advise you to familiarize yourself with the manufacture of cantilever stairs in this article.
- Made from galvanized steel. They have a thickness from 0.5 to 1.5 mm. The thicker the steel, the better the protection and easier installation. The strips come in a variety of colors, which gives you the opportunity to use your imagination when designing the façade of your home.
Types of flashings.
- Aluminum. Also quite popular. They are made from sheet aluminum, the thickness of which varies from one to two millimeters. Aluminum planks are not afraid of exposure to moisture, compared to steel ones, which is what characterizes their positive properties. The cost of aluminum flashings is correspondingly higher than all others. For example, the price of metal flashings is from 50 to 100 rubles per meter, and aluminum ones cost about 150-200 rubles. Aluminum slats can be painted independently in cases of paint fading.
These are the main types of strips that are needed in the construction of a sandwich panel.
It is possible that you may need material on what siding to choose.
How to choose the right strip for windows
Window trims, provided they are chosen correctly, will ideally frame the window space, keep the seams protected, and increase the level of thermal insulation.
When choosing slats, metal or PVC for windows, you should take into account the preferred installation method, as well as the shade of the window frame.
Important! Before purchasing material, you should carry out the necessary calculations and measurements, clarify exactly how many components will be needed to frame it.
Experts recommend purchasing planks at specialized sales points, where only certified products will be presented. Having purchased such material, you will not have to worry that it will not last long or will have poor properties. In addition, cheap material will be difficult to attach neatly.
Therefore, before purchasing, you should study the offers and choose a certified product.
When choosing strips, you should keep in mind that glass units framed with a plastic frame will not be suitable for wood or metal strips. In addition, PVC planks do not look very good on wooden windows.
Tips and tricks for selection and installation
When choosing strips, you must follow some rules:
- Please note the manufacturer. High-quality material will last for many years and will perform its true functions. While a low-quality flashing can lead to unpleasant consequences. Therefore, when choosing, find out the manufacturer’s company, its location and how high-quality materials it produces. In order not to delve into all this, you can buy the most expensive ones, but even here you will make a mistake. When buying the most expensive ones, you will overpay 30% just for the brand name, but why pay for the brand name if you can buy the same quality, but unbranded ones.
- You need to choose based on the design and construction of the panel. It is necessary to take into account color, tone and texture. Some people want to fill the exterior of their home with variety and choose flashings in other colors. This gives some richness and emphasizes the facade of the house.
It is important not to use too many colors, otherwise it will look cartoonish.
Types and material of manufacture
Types of flashings are mainly classified according to production materials. They are made in several layers. The outer layers are special protective films. They also look aesthetically pleasing in case the items cannot be hidden. There is also a layer of foam tape. And the internal space is occupied by PVC or steel sheet. Each material has its own operational characteristics.
PVC strips:
- Not always ideal for installation as they can become deformed during use. Accordingly, the functionality of the device as a whole, the durability of the window structure, and its other characteristics will suffer greatly;
- It has a neutral appearance and will not be conspicuous. If we talk about beauty, decorative strips are not made, so neutrality is rather an advantage of the design;
- Needs cleaning. The structure must be cleaned every few years of use. Cleaning is quite simple; there is no need to hire specialists or buy special materials, chemicals or tools;
- Installation is simple, the surface of the structure is self-adhesive. You need to remove the protective film, after which the device can be fixed in the chosen location;
- Can be used for 10 years (in some favorable areas - several years more).
As for products made of steel, they are much more functional, and their performance is many times better. For example, the material is not exposed to temperatures or other negative operating conditions, and therefore does not deform during operation (of course, with the exception of the banal old age of the material). Also, steel flashings last more than 25 years. There is a choice of design options (plastic is available only in white).
Video
The video shows the installation of end strips:
Using these rules, you can get the expected result from the strips and the entire facade as a whole. Installing flashings does not have any particular installation difficulties, but it is important to follow all the steps to prevent water or wind from getting inside the joints of the panels.
The service life of such panels depends on the quality of the work performed, because the flashing is protection not only for the walls of the house, but also for the structure of the sandwich panel.
Maybe
Powder painting of strips
We paint these products of any configuration. The work is carried out using proprietary Henkel technology. Painting in white and other colors in the RAL color palette allows you to give metal products an attractive appearance.
In addition, powder coating reliably protects these shaped elements from corrosion, minor damage (scratches, etc.) and atmospheric influences. The most effective solution when operating them in air is a polyester-based coating. Its service life is at least 30 years.
Metal casting for the base
The junctions between the ground and first floors require special protection from precipitation, wind, and dirt. In addition, it is here that the technical mounting parts and the edges of the waterproofing protrude to the surface. In order to cover the points of overlaps, joints, and fasteners, the base flashing is designed. In catalogs you can also find such names as “drain” or “lower visor”. It is made in the appropriate shape.
The ebb for the base plays the role of both a decorative and functional element. It effectively protects seams from all types of precipitation. Thanks to it, moisture does not accumulate in the joints, and a breeding ground for mold fungi is not created. The likelihood of destruction of walls and foundations is reduced. Another purpose is to reduce heat loss through cold bridges.
Where to buy flashing for the plinth?
Numerous stores offer ready-made sets of additional products made to standard sizes. But the owner of the building then has to deal with adjusting, trimming, joining parts that do not match in size. To avoid the problems listed above, just contact the manufacturer and buy a molding for the plinth with precisely adjusted parameters.
has CNC machines for the most accurate cutting of metal and subsequent bending. Painting is carried out in special chambers after color selection and agreement with the customer.
Main types of metal for base flashings:
- stainless steel;
- Cink Steel;
- aluminum;
- copper.
At the client’s request, we will produce corners, plugs, and strips for various purposes. We do everything to ensure that in a new or used house there are no gaps around windows and doors, under window sills and above the basement. We suggest not forgetting about such little things so that you don’t have to think about how to eliminate drafts later.
A step-by-step description of the installation of trims and trim on interior doors
The facing strip is applied to the already installed door frame and with a pencil mark on it the point corresponding to the lower, internal level of the door.
Then lay the strip on a flat surface and, using a corner from the mark, mark a 45 degree angle directed upward.
Along the drawn line or using a miter box, the blade is cut.
In exactly the same way, markings and divisions of the opposite strip are made. Not forgetting that the angle on it is a mirror image of the opposite.
The next step is to try on and temporarily install the vertical posts on the box.
Finishing nails are used for these purposes. Moreover, they do not clog completely and there should be a tail of a few millimeters left on the outside.
The most important thing is to measure and then cut the two corners of the upper section of the casing. There are two ways to do this.
Installation of telescopic trims
In real life, installation of this type of door hardware is extremely rare. But if the need arises to install them, full information can be obtained from the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the product. Moreover, the process itself should not cause any special difficulties, since in its essence it resembles a constructor. Moreover, there is no need to use separate fasteners (nails, glue, screws). Fastenings are made using the ridge method. Although professionals advise using liquid nails for more reliable fastening.
After installation nuances
Visible nailing points can be easily masked with wax sealant of the desired color.
Special plugs are provided to cover the heads of the self-tapping screws.
A small gap in butt or corner joints can be eliminated by tightening them together with a finishing nail.
Minor cracks can also be sealed with a wax corrector or acrylic-based sealant.

Door flashings are embossed thin beams used to cover the rebate of double doors.
Door flashings are embossed thin beams used to cover the rebate of double doors. The rail is attached to one of the canvases. When both swing elements are closed, it closes the gap between them. This allows you to keep the room warm.
Sometimes platbands are called flashings. These are thin strips that cover the distance between the box and the wall.
Do-it-yourself installation of platbands on interior doors
Before we talk about the installation of platbands, we recommend watching a presentation video - installing a platband on an interior door in a video.
Attaching the trim directly to the door frame can be done with a choice of the following materials:
- finishing, furniture nails;
- self-tapping screws
- special glue “liquid nails”.
Based on the connection of the top and side planks to each other, there are 2 types. This is a connection through a gash at an angle of forty-five degrees and a direct connection of the strips without a gash.
It should be noted that option 2 is rarely used in reality and is only possible for platbands with a flat surface and a rectangular plank shape.
