Katepal Metal Drip Tray - 1m Length

The Katepal Metal Drip Tray is an eaves finishing component used to help guide rainwater from a suitable bitumen shingle or felt roofing system towards the gutter. Eaves are exposed to repeated wetting, and a properly designed drip detail helps reduce water tracking back beneath the roof covering.

Protecting the eaves edge with a Katepal metal drip tray

The listing specifies a 1m length, plastic-coated steel construction and an existing thickness description of 0.5mm. The formed edge profile should be selected as part of a Katepal-compatible roof system rather than assumed suitable for any roof sheet. The number of lengths needed depends on the eaves dimensions and the overlap or joint detail.

Choosing the right materials

Measure the total eaves run, identify corners, changes in direction and junctions with the guttering, and calculate material including the specified overlap. Match the roof covering and underlay to the manufacturer’s recommended eaves detail. A drip tray is not a replacement for correctly formed gutters and deck protection.

Installation and maintenance advice

Secure the tray as instructed for the roof build-up before completing the membrane or shingle courses. Cut and protect the coated steel as directed and prevent sharp metal edges being left exposed. Ensure run-off is directed into the gutter rather than behind the fascia or onto the wall.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:

We recommend ordering an additional 10% of roof tiles to allow for any breakages that may occur during delivery or handling. Roof tiles are naturally fragile, and having a few extra on site helps prevent delays and ensures your roofing project can be completed without interruption.
