Tamlyn FS Steel Flat Tin Shingles — Pre-Cut Flashing for Chimney & Skylight Applications
The Tamlyn FS series Steel Flat Tin Shingles are purpose-built flashing components designed for chimney, skylight, and other critical roof-to-wall transition applications. Manufactured in 32-gauge galvanized steel, these shingles are manufactured to meet the demands of professional roofing and construction contractors. Each piece is pre-cut to the specified dimensions, eliminating the need to cut down longer 10-foot flashing stock on the job site.
Unlike standard roll or 10-foot flashing stock, the FS series arrives job-ready in pre-cut pieces that save labor time and reduce material waste. The FS57 variant measures 5" in height by 7" in width, providing a precise, consistent form factor suited to overlapping shingle-style flashing installations. Other sizes are available as special order for non-standard applications.
Key Features & Benefits
Pre-Cut Pieces — No Field Cutting Required
Each shingle arrives cut to the specified dimensions, eliminating the time and tool requirements associated with cutting full-length flashing stock on site. This directly reduces labor cost and jobsite waste, especially on multi-unit or production builds.
32-Gauge Galvanized Steel
All FS flat tin shingles are manufactured in 32-gauge galvanized steel — thin enough to weave and form easily on the roof, with galvanized coating for corrosion resistance in concealed flashing details.
Painted Finish Options
Factory-applied color options are available for painted specifications, including Almond (AM), Brown (BR), Black (BK), Charcoal (CB), and White (WH). Matching the flashing to roofing or trim color reduces visible contrast and meets aesthetic requirements on finished projects without field painting.
Sold in Bundles of 100 Pieces
The listed price is per 100-piece bundle, not per individual shingle. The 100-piece bundle format supports efficient ordering and inventory management for contractors working across multiple projects. Consistent pack quantities simplify estimating and procurement for both small and large-scale work.
Special Order Sizing Available
Beyond the standard catalog sizes (FS57, FS87, FS88), Tamlyn offers special order dimensions for non-standard flashing requirements. This ensures the FS system can be adapted to atypical roof configurations without resorting to custom fabrication on site.
Consistent Dimensions — Reliable Overlap and Coverage
Factory-cut pieces maintain tight dimensional tolerances, ensuring consistent overlap and coverage across each course of flashing. Uniform pieces reduce gaps, inconsistencies, and the risk of improper installation caused by field cutting variation.
Common Applications
Chimney Flashing
The FS series is specifically cited for chimney step flashing applications, where pre-cut pieces must integrate tightly with masonry and roofing materials at a complex intersection prone to water intrusion.
Skylight Flashing
Pre-cut flat tin shingles provide the consistent piece sizing required for proper skylight surround flashing, where dimensional accuracy is critical to maintaining a watertight seal around the unit perimeter.
Roof-to-Wall Transitions
Step flashing at roof-to-wall junctions benefits from uniformly sized pieces that integrate with each course of shingles, providing continuous coverage across the transition plane.
General Roof Flashing
Wherever a shingle-style metal flashing is required — valleys, dormers, or penetrations — the FS series provides a ready-to-install solution without the labor overhead of field fabrication.
New Construction Roofing
On production builds where multiple chimneys or skylights must be flashed efficiently, the bundled 100-piece format and pre-cut sizing support high-volume installation workflows.
Re-Roofing and Restoration Projects
Replacement flashing for existing chimneys and skylights benefits from the factory-cut format, ensuring replacement pieces match required dimensions and reducing time spent on repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the pack quantity for the FS57?
A: The FS57 is sold in bundles of 100 pieces. Individual pieces or partial bundles are not available through standard ordering; other sizes are sold in the same 100-piece bundle format.
Q: Can I order painted pieces in a color not listed on the standard chart?
A: Yes. Colors beyond the five standard options (Almond, Brown, Black, Charcoal, White) are available as special order. Contact Tamlyn directly at 1-800-334-1676 to confirm availability and lead time for non-standard colors.
Q: Are additional sizes available beyond FS57, FS87, and FS88?
A: Yes. Tamlyn offers additional sizes as special order items for non-standard applications where the catalog dimensions do not meet project requirements.
Q: What material gauge is standard for the 26 Ga GZD option?
A: The galvanized option is produced in 26 gauge steel with a galvanized (GZD) finish, providing enhanced corrosion resistance relative to the Builder and Standard material grades.
Q: Why use pre-cut tin shingles instead of cutting from 10-foot flashing stock?
A: Pre-cut pieces eliminate the labor time required to measure and cut full-length flashing on site, reduce scrap waste, and ensure consistent dimensional accuracy across every piece installed — particularly important on production builds where uniformity directly affects installation speed and quality.
