4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Although verge is used in the other term with 'dakrand,'the customer prefers "edge" in this case. Kate's term was the closest with 'finish.' Thanks all!"

roof verge detailing

Or:
roof verge finishing
roof verge cover

I would personally opt for:
double ply roof verge detail

For single and double ply (flat) roofing systems can be covered/finished by fascias, caps or gravels stops. This has to do with the choice of detailing the roof's edges/verges.
