Description

The Master Flash® Vertical Tile Flash (Aluminium) roof pipe flashing is a robust and versatile solution for waterproofing pipe penetrations in flat roofing applications. Designed to meet the needs of both residential and commercial roofing, this flashing ensures a secure, durable, and watertight seal for a variety of roofing systems, including bitumen and flat tile roofs. With its superior materials and innovative design, the Master Flash® Vertical Tile Flash provides an exceptional combination of protection, flexibility, and fire safety.

Product Overview:

The Master Flash® Vertical Tile Flash features a Black EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber base, which offers outstanding durability and resistance to the elements. EPDM is known for its excellent weathering characteristics, including resistance to UV rays, ozone, and extreme temperatures. Whether exposed to intense sunlight or freezing conditions, EPDM retains its flexibility and performance over time, making it an ideal material for roofing applications.

The flashing is designed with a vertical orientation, making it an ideal choice for installations on flat, residential roofs. It is particularly well-suited for applications where pipes or other penetrations rise vertically from the roof surface. The flashing’s large base is constructed from aluminium sheet, which provides a strong, corrosion-resistant foundation to ensure longevity. The aluminium base is specifically engineered to form a secure, moldable seal around most roof configurations, including irregular or sloped surfaces commonly found in flat roofing systems.

Features and Benefits:

1.Superior Material Construction: The combination of Black EPDM and aluminium makes this flashing both durable and highly adaptable to different roofing surfaces. The EPDM base offers excellent resistance to environmental stressors such as UV degradation, temperature extremes, and ozone exposure, ensuring a long-lasting seal that won’t crack, shrink, or degrade over time. The aluminium sheet base adds structural integrity, while also providing resistance to corrosion, which is essential for roofs exposed to the elements.

2.Fire Retardant Technology: One of the standout features of the Master Flash® Vertical Tile Flash is the addition of fire-retardant agents that are milled directly into the rubber compound. This self-extinguishing technology ensures that, in the unlikely event of a fire, the flashing will not contribute to the spread of flames. The fire-retardant agents embedded in the EPDM rubber enhance the safety of the flashing without compromising its flexibility or performance. This added safety feature is especially beneficial in residential roofing, where fire risk mitigation is a key consideration.

3.Versatility Across Roof Types: The large, flexible base of the Master Flash® Vertical Tile Flash is designed to adapt to a wide variety of roof configurations. Whether you’re dealing with a flat, pitched, or bitumen roof, this flashing can be molded to fit the exact shape of the roof surface, ensuring a secure and leak-proof installation. This adaptability makes it an ideal choice for homeowners and contractors working with various types of roofing materials, from traditional asphalt shingles to modern bitumen systems.

4.Easy Installation: Master Flash® products are known for their straightforward, user-friendly installation. The flexible EPDM material makes it easy to position the flashing around pipes or other roof penetrations, and the large, pliable base can be molded to match the contours of the roof. The flashing is designed to be compatible with most pipe sizes and can accommodate a wide range of pipe diameters, ensuring a tight seal around the penetration. The aluminium sheet base provides additional stability during installation, ensuring that the flashing will stay securely in place once installed.

5.Weather Resistance: The Black EPDM material used in the Master Flash® Vertical Tile Flash is designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions. EPDM is known for its exceptional resistance to both heat and cold, making it suitable for use in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations. Additionally, the flashing is resistant to rain, snow, and ice, ensuring that the roof penetration remains waterproof and protected from the elements year-round.

6.Durability and Longevity: Thanks to the high-quality EPDM and aluminium construction, the Master Flash® Vertical Tile Flash offers excellent durability. EPDM rubber does not deteriorate with exposure to sunlight or moisture, while the aluminium base resists corrosion from exposure to rain, salt, and other corrosive elements. This combination of materials ensures a long lifespan for the flashing, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.

Applications:

The Master Flash® Vertical Tile Flash is ideal for a range of applications in flat, residential roofing, including:

• Ventilation Systems: This flashing is commonly used to seal around ventilation pipes and vent stacks, preventing water ingress around the roof penetration.
• Plumbing Penetrations: The flexible and watertight nature of this flashing makes it perfect for use around plumbing pipes, including waste pipes and drain lines.
• Other Roof Penetrations: Whether it’s a skylight, electrical conduit, or satellite dish, the Master Flash® flashing can be used to provide a secure and waterproof seal around various types of roof penetrations.

It can be used on bitumen roofing systems, where its large, adaptable base can mold to the contours of the roofing material, providing a tight, leak-proof seal. The flashing’s versatility extends to various roof configurations, making it a reliable solution for nearly any flat roofing application.

Conclusion:

The Master Flash® Vertical Tile Flash (Aluminium) is an innovative, high-performance solution for sealing roof penetrations. With its combination of Black EPDM rubber, aluminium base, and fire-retardant technology, this flashing provides exceptional durability, weather resistance, and fire safety. Its flexible design allows it to be used across a wide range of roofing systems, including flat, residential, and bitumen roofs, making it an ideal choice for both new installations and roof repairs. Whether you’re a contractor or a homeowner, this product delivers superior performance and peace of mind, ensuring that your roof remains secure, leak-free, and safe for years to come.
