[RE-wrenches] Best practices for comp shingle flashing?

[Mark Dickson]

Check out Sunmodo.  We feel they are very well designed and can be ordered
with 2, 3 5 and 7" standoffs.  BTW, their solution for metal roofs are the
best we have found.  Unfortunately made in China though. . .

We use the EcoFasten Green Flashing with the standard Unirac L foot that has
the oval hole so you get some rail adjustment.  You have to be sure to use
the Green Flashing compression plate between the flashing and the L foot.  

 

>From what I've experienced with flashing you're going to have to cut the
flashing or remove shingle nails no matter what you do or which brand you
use.

 

Thanks,
Will

Thanks guys. Talked with TTi and mentioned Mr. Miller's experience with
rust. They said they got a lot of feedback about this problem on their 1st
generation line and have since corrected the issue. I'll remain
cautious...thanks Willy.

 

TTi, DPW, EcoFasten, and Quick-mount all seem to have the same issue of
lacking versatility in height adjustment. Anyway, going to check out a
sample from TTi. DPW and EcoFasten look like they still require cutting of
both flash base and comp courses. I'm trying to avoid cutting anything as I
want to avoid disturbing original flashing and original roofing material. 

 

Thanks for all your input!!
