The “Solution” Dryflekt kick-out diverter flashings are engineered to move water down off the roof and away from the wall at the roof to wall intersection, without restricting the water flow.
The “Solution” the latest publication by the NRCA suggests a kick-out flashing be used as the first piece of step flashing by the roofer. Dryflekt diverter flashings are made of polypropylene co-polymers and now see what the NRCA says about that (Manual Elements | May 2005 | Professional Roofing Magazine).
The “Solution” at $9.99 ea. it’s to inexpensive not to use, or to try and fabricate. Custom fit for the same consistent installation by every installer (new construction or Repairs) every time.
The “Solution” Inspectors you know the problems, you have reported, educated, on out dated building defects and methods, and the proper remedies. Now insist on the one product that when you see it on the roof you know it’s done right.
Visit www.dryflekt.com for a supplier near you or our distributor program.
We’ve made the product so easy for the change. No reason for it not to be installed.
