 Hi Glenn; How do you and the roofers deal with Propanel steel roofs? That's hundreds of penetrations for the screws, with no flashings, and they depend on just a little rubber gasket.  Or how about the lead head nails on a corrugated metal roof?  Roofers t

Glenn, I understand where you are coming from, However My concern is that flashings could be worse. Unless the flashing design supports sealant + flashing, it will most likely be worse. I've never seen a L-foot leak, but I've seem many flashings that rely on gravity leak. An L-foot sealed w

We are the McDonalds of roof penetrations. During the last 30 years we have literally made pincushions of the roof we have worked on. After millions of unflashed penetrations we have only had one leak. Observing hundreds of Carter era systems we have never seen a mounting foot leak. Like Sasqua

I would have to definitely lean towards using flashings as a default and have been doing so now for several years. Last project i wanted to use flashings on and couldn't was in 2010. I couldn't because it was a 10-13 deg slope with asphalt shingles that were really good quality and made for low s

1. I'm interest in a poll of installers who are using flashings vs sealant. Now that the flashing market has evolved, what are you using today? When did you switch to flashings (if you did). And why not, if you still prefer sealant. 2. Is there a any code defense for sealant systems ? (L-foot se
