Custom Fabrication
At D A Profiles Ltd, we pride ourselves on responding to our customer needs. On many occasions we are asked to manufacture products that are not considered standard everyday items such as polyester powder coated aluminium windowsill and jambs, louvres, soakers, bullnose and curved flashings to name a few.
We are always happy to look at products not specifically geared toward the roofing and cladding industry so whatever your requirement, please contact our dedicated sales team.
Louvres
Custom louvres tailored to fit a wide range of shapes and sizes. Expertly fabricated in aluminium or plastisol, to ensure accuracy and are effective for their purpose.
Designed to provide ventilation, weather protection, and aesthetic appeal to roofing systems.
They are commonly used in industrial and commercial buildings to allow airflow while preventing rain ingress, often integrated into roof vents or facade systems.
Available in various profiles with durability and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for harsh environments.
Soakers
Custom Soakers tailored to fit a wide range of shapes and sizes. Expertly fabricated to ensure accuracy and are effective for their purpose.
Typically made from aluminium and installed between roof tiles/slates and adjacent walls, chimneys, or protrusions to prevent water ingress at joints.
They are inserted between successive courses of plain tiles or slates, directing water into gutters, and are often used with step flashings for added protection, particularly at abutments or valleys.
Unlike metal louvres, which focus on ventilation, soakers prioritise weatherproofing, offering a lightweight, durable, and cost-effective alternative to traditional lead flashings, compatible with various roof types but not interlocking tiles.
Bullnose
Typically made from aluminium with polyester or PVC Pastisol, they enhance weather resistance and aesthetic appeal, particularly in agricultural or industrial roofing.
They are custom fabricated to match specific roof dimensions, ensuring a neat, protective seal against water ingress, and are popular for their durability and low maintenance.
Unlike soakers, which focus on waterproofing joints, or louvres, which aid ventilation, bullnose profiles prioritise edge protection and visual refinement.
Curved Flashing
Fabricated to specialist design and sizes, curved flashings give a smooth clean line to buildings. Used as stand-alone or wrapped around a concealed gutter giving a roof a modern finish.
They provide a watertight seal at junctions, preventing water ingress while accommodating complex geometries where standard straight flashings are unsuitable.
Custom fabricated in aluminium or plastisol, to match specific roof profiles or radii, they are coated with materials like Polyester or PVC Plastisol for corrosion resistance and durability.
Unlike bullnose profiles, which focus on edge finishing, or soakers, which seal tile joints, curved flashings are critical for weatherproofing intricate roof transitions in both residential and commercial projects
Fabricated Corners
Designed and fabricated to each individual requirement, our fabricated corners are available in both plastisol and powder coated aluminium.
These pre-formed pieces, often coated with Polyester or PVC Plastisol for durability, ensure a seamless fit around complex angles or junctions, enhancing both structural integrity and aesthetics.
Unlike curved flashings, which address rounded transitions, or bullnose profiles, which focus on edge finishing, fabricated corners are tailored for sharp or bespoke angular connections, commonly used in commercial, industrial, or heritage roofing projects to prevent leaks and maintain uniformity.
