Roof System Components

High Quality Components

A crucial part of the performance of a Metal Roof System is the set of components – caps, flashing, trim pieces – that work in harmony with Metal Roofing Panels to strengthen, seal, and protect the entire roof and eliminate moisture intrusion. Components from Smith Built are fabricated using state-of-the-art automated manufacturing equipment and can be relied on for their quality, consistency, and design.

Eave Trim

Eave Trim (sometimes called Eave Drip) is designed to redirect rain run-off coming from the roof away from the perimeter of the roofing fascia. It is designed for both aesthetic appeal and for effective redirection of rain from the roof top to the ground below, protecting the fascia boards from moisture exposure.

Gable (Rake) Trim

Gable or Rake Trim is attached to the sloping edges of roof gables to prevent wind-driven rain from penetrating the exposed undersides of the roof panels that connect the ridge and the eave of your home. It is designed for maximum effectiveness and aesthetics.

Ridge Cap

Ridge Cap connects adjacent roof planes and spans the length of the roof ridge. It is designed to provide a water proof covering that protects the integrity of the edge of the roof panels and the roof decking below them. The Ridge Cap is designed to allow the roof to breathe, acting as a vent that allows hot air to escape. See our accessories page to see products that help you maximize the ventilation provided by our Ridge Cap trim. We offer Ridge Cap in Standard and Deluxe widths, and for hip roofs, we offer Hip Cap.

Valley Trim

Valley Trim lies under the edges of roof panels where different roof gables come together at an angle. It runs the length of these valleys. Valley Trim serves a vital role by catching the water coming off these different roof slopes and channeling it off the roof.
