Abstract:
A customizable roof drip edge system includes an inner footing, an outer section, and a tail integrally formed with the inner footing and the outer section. The tail is nailable to a roof substrate. The outer section includes a bridging member connecting the tail to an outer footing. The bridging member and the outer footing are configured for directing the flow of water off of a roof. The inner footing is spaced from the outer footing by a suitable distance and configured to be placed against an eave as a positioning aid such that the drip edge can easily and reliably be installed with sufficient spacing for the installation of a fascia board after installation of the drip edge. The drip edge may be bendable to user-selectable angles between the tail and the inner footing and outer section to accommodate a range of roof pitches.

Claim (Index 9):
An integrally formed universal drip edge comprising:\n a tail extending along the length of the drip edge, the tail comprising a lower layer and an upper layer integrally formed with the lower layer at an upper end of the tail; an inner footing extending along the length of the drip edge and integrally formed with the lower layer at a lower end of the tail; and an outer section extending along the length of the drip edge and comprising:\n a bridging member having a proximal end integrally formed with the upper layer at the lower end of the tail to define a roof angle; and \n an outer footing parallel to the inner footing and integrally formed with a distal end of the bridging member opposite the proximal end; \n wherein the roof angle is selectable by bending at least one of the inner footing and the bridging member relative to the tail; wherein the inner footing comprises an inner surface proximate the lower layer, the inner surface configured to be placed against an end surface of a roof substrate to define a drip edge installation position; and wherein the bridging member, the inner footing, and the outer footing define a downward-facing channel configured to receive and partially surround a fascia board.
