An integral, pre-formed edge closure fabricated from a non-corrosive, durable material includes an anchoring flange for attachment to a roof structure, an upper flange, an intermediate panel spanning between the anchoring flange and the upper flange, a cant panel positioned at an acute angle relative to the upper flange to define a cant strip along a length of the edge closure, and a mounting strip above the cant panel for securing the edge closure to a concrete parapet or other adjoining vertical wall on a roof structure. The anchoring flange and upper flange are spaced apart for receiving a thickness of insulation of lightweight concrete therebetween. The intermediate panel is provided with vent holes for venting gasses and moisture which accumulate within the roof structure, thereby reducing the likelihood of premature roof failure.
