[RE-wrenches] Trend away from roof flashings???

[Jeremy Coxon]

I’m interested in what the group has to say about the trend, by the racking manufacturers, away from the use of flashings for asphalt/comp roofs?  We have long used SnapNRack flashings with much success.  I especially like the fact that the penetrations are fully flashed and do not rely on sealant.  I am NOT a fan of their new raised cone/epdm gasket flashing.  There are a number of these raised cone flashings in the marketplace and it’s my experience that they don’t hold up to the test of time and I wonder what the roofing manufacturers have to say about this.

I see that Unirac, SnapNRack and others are now offering basically a sealed L-Foot which is essentially where we were 15-16yrs ago and met with a lot of opposition from the roofing industry.  Just interested to hear what you guys are using these days on asphalt shingle roofs for reliably dry attachments?
