Fillers buying guide

At Brett Martin, our precision cutting machinery produces fillers to exceptionally high levels of accuracy, optimising seals
and minimising energy loss. If your requirements are more specific, we can manufacture bespoke fillers for an extensive
range of settings (eaves, ridge and other roof intersections).

Profiles Filler Angle

Virtually every roofing and cladding profile is held
on our database and others can be quickly added.
A direct reference to tooling ensures that fillers are
always precision matched to sheeting panels. Sheet
manufacturer name or reference can identify the
correct profile or profile drawings can accurately match
Fillers to be fitted along roof hips and valleys must be cut
to the angle formed by the flashing or valley and short
dimension of the profiled sheet *(true angle). It must also be
determined if the filler is left or right handed. Please refer to
the plan drawing Fig 3 “Handing, flute size and angle cut.”
*This depends on both the plan angle and pitch of the roof; we can calculate this if required.

dimensions.

Flute
The choice of flute depends on which side of the profiled
sheet is to be filled. See Fig 1.
Large
Typically used at the ridge, filling the inter-profile between
ridge cap and corrugated roof sheet, this filler fits on top
of the sheet. For a reverse profile the large flute filler goes
under the sheet.
Small
Typically used under the roof sheet at the eaves, filling the
inter-profile cavity between sheet and structure, the small
flute is fitted to the opposite side of the sheet compared to
Ventilated Fillers
the large flute and fits upwards into the crown. Trimmed Profile - Small Flute
Allows condensation forming on the under side of the sheet
to run down over the top of the filler.
Ventilation Channels - Large Flute
V shaped nicks in the foam allow condensation forming on
the ridge flashing to run down over the top of the filler.
Mesh Inserts - Large & Small Flutes
19mm mesh vents situated in the body of the flute prevent
insects entering the void. Please see Fig 4.
Ferrule Vents - Large & Small Flutes
22mm ferrule vents situated in the body of the flute allow
airflow.
Self Adhesive Fillers
Bonded butyl sealants can be applied to the profile, the base
or both, offering easier location and improved weather seal.
Base
Large and small flute fillers are manufactured with a standard
6mm base. Extended base depth available on request.
Please see Fig 2.
