[RE-wrenches] Foam Insulation Install

[Antony Tersol]

Have you looked at EcoFasten mounting.  They have a mount that uses 8 screws
per attachment, so can theoretically hold without going into the rafters.
 Then could use a large flashing over that to integrate with the shingles.

I think they're an offshoot of AlpenSnowguards in Vermont.  We started
working with Alpen to source S5 clamps several years ago, and have found
them great to work with.

We're a West coast company - there were lots of other distributors closer,
but Alpen got and kept our business.  It's kind of funny - when I call them,
I feel like I'm talking with someone in one of those old hardware stores
with everything you need right there in bins, and when I call the other guys
it seems like someone in a sales office who never handles the product.

The EcoFasten crew is similarly helpful, and they have some well thought out
products.  The name I have in my rollodex is Chris Sterns, at 877-859-3947.

pretty comprehensive, and includes leak and load tests and building code
info.  Other cool mounting products too.

For residential install with the spray foam insulation

Underside of deck has 12"+ of foam.....no way to accurately locate rafter
there.....hammer and ear also out of the question...........don't think any
of the stud finders will work....been told that peeling back shingles to
locate rafter is only accurate way.......would like to avoid that if
possible..........any suggestions?
