Troubleshooting
Flashing tears during bending or shaping.
Handle the material with care, avoiding sharp or excessive force. For tighter bends, consider making relief cuts if necessary and appropriate for the application.
Water leaks persist after installation.
Ensure the flashing is correctly positioned, fully covering the gap, and properly sealed to the surrounding roof material and penetration. Check for any damage to the flashing or roof deck underneath.
Aluminum appears to be corroding.
While designed for resistance, ensure no incompatible chemicals are in contact with the flashing. If corrosion is observed, inspect the source and consider replacing the affected section.
