What type of flashing is recommended at the bottom of a roof where it meets a wall?

Kickout flashing is specifically designed to direct water away from the intersection of a roof and a wall, thereby preventing water from running down the side of the wall or penetrating the wall. Its shape allows it to effectively channel water away, ensuring that drainage occurs properly. This is particularly important at these intersections, where water can accumulate and potentially lead to leaks or moisture damage over time.

Base flashing, counter flashing, and water flashing serve different functions and are used in various situations, but kickout flashing is uniquely suited for this specific area of the roof to manage water runoff effectively.
