The Master Flash® Residential provides homeowners with an industry-leading solution for sealing pipe penetrations, available in two premium materials – EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) and Silicone that deliver unmatched durability and performance.
Designed specifically for residential applications, Master Flash® offers homeowners and roofing professionals a fast, reliable, and long-lasting way to prevent water intrusion around roof penetrations. With its easy installation and exceptional weatherproofing capabilities, Master Flash® helps ensure the protection of your home from the elements, extending the life of your roof and avoiding costly repairs in the future.
Key Features of Master Flash® Residential
1. Premium Material Choices: EPDM and Silicone
The Master Flash® Residential Roof and Pipe Flashing is available in two distinct materials, each providing unique benefits based on the needs of your roofing system.
-
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer): EPDM is a synthetic rubber known for its outstanding weathering properties. This material resists damage from UV radiation, ozone exposure, and extreme weather conditions, making it a reliable choice for homes located in areas with harsh climates. EPDM is highly flexible and can adapt to various roof pitches and pipe sizes, providing a tight, secure seal even in low temperatures.
-
Silicone: Silicone flashing is ideal for areas where high-temperature resistance is necessary, such as around chimneys, exhaust pipes, and HVAC systems. Silicone maintains its flexibility and sealing properties even in extreme heat, making it perfect for roofing applications subject to high temperatures or intense sun exposure. It also has excellent resistance to UV rays and ozone, ensuring a long-lasting, dependable seal.
Both materials are designed for maximum durability and longevity, ensuring that the flashing will continue to perform for many years, even under challenging environmental conditions.
2. Superior Weather Resistance
Master Flash® Residential excels in providing a weatherproof barrier against rain, snow, ice, and high winds. Both EPDM and Silicone materials offer excellent water resistance, helping to prevent leaks that can lead to costly water damage inside the home. The flexible design allows the flashing to conform to roof penetrations, ensuring a secure seal regardless of roof pitch or pipe diameter.
Additionally, the flashing’s resistance to UV radiation and ozone exposure ensures that it will not degrade or crack over time, maintaining its seal and performance year after year. This high level of durability helps protect your roof from long-term wear and tear, reducing the risk of premature roof failure.
3. Easy Installation
Master Flash® Residential is designed with ease of installation in mind. Its flexible and mouldable base allows it to adapt to a wide range of roof pitches, pipe sizes, and shapes. The base can be easily moulded to fit snugly around roof penetrations, creating a tight, leak-free seal. This feature simplifies the installation process, reducing labour time and the overall cost of installation. For added security, the flashing can be fastened with screws or nails around the perimeter, ensuring that it stays in place even during heavy winds or extreme weather conditions. Whether you are installing flashing on a new roof or replacing an old, worn-out flashing, Master Flash® makes the job faster and easier.
4. Versatile Application for Residential Roofs
Master Flash® Residential is designed to accommodate a wide range of residential applications. It is suitable for use on various types of roofs, including asphalt shingle, metal, tile, and flat roofs, making it a versatile solution for virtually any home.
Some of the most common applications for Master Flash® include:
-
Vent Pipes: Commonly used for plumbing or venting systems, Master Flash® helps seal around pipe penetrations to prevent water intrusion.
-
Chimneys and Exhaust Pipes: The Silicone version is particularly well-suited for areas exposed to high heat, such as chimney pipes, vent stacks, and exhaust systems.
-
Plumbing Penetrations: Whether you’re dealing with plumbing vent pipes or larger pipes for HVAC systems, Master Flash® ensures a secure, waterproof seal.
-
HVAC and Dryer Vent Penetrations: The flashing helps seal around HVAC ducts or dryer vent pipes, preventing leaks and improving the overall energy efficiency of the home.
With its ability to accommodate a wide range of pipe sizes and roofing systems, Master Flash® is a go-to solution for all your roof penetration sealing needs.
5. Long-Lasting Performance
One of the key benefits of Master Flash® Residential is its exceptional longevity. The flashing is designed to withstand years of exposure to harsh weather conditions without losing its effectiveness. EPDM’s resistance to UV rays, ozone, and temperature fluctuations ensures that it will not degrade over time, while Silicone’s heat resistance ensures a strong, lasting seal even in areas with extreme temperatures.
By using Master Flash®, homeowners can avoid frequent roof repairs and costly replacements, giving them peace of mind knowing that their roof penetrations are well-protected for the long term.
