Describe your waterproofing products.

All of our patented products are designed to waterproof difficult roof penetrations. A difficult penetration would include structures with non-round geometric shapes or closely grouped conduit, gas, water or HVAC compressor line sets. We manufacture slide from the top Storm Collars for roof penetrations that are accessible from the top. We also manufacture Retro-Collars® and Retro-Spin Flashings® that are capable of opening to allow a "Slide From The Side" installation of our product.

Typical roof penetrations that can be waterproofed using one or more of our patented designs include roof-mounted condenser insulated line sets, multi-pipe conduits, gas lines and odd geometric shapes including rectangular, square, angle iron, or I-beam shapes. We can even make Retro-Collars® that fit Unistrut metal supports.

Our newest product is our Retro-Spin Flashing®. Our exclusive "Slide From The Side" design allows for a new flashing installation around items such as electric service stacks. Currently, it takes up to $2,500 to have a utility company disassemble the electric service, slide a new flashing on the 1.5" or 2.0" galvanized conduit, and then return to the job to re-connect the power. Our Retro-Spin Flashing® can easily be installed in two minutes by anyone with a hammer and nails.

What is "Slide From The Side"?

Our patented design slides opens, enabling an installation from the side rather than from the top. This eliminates the ned to disassemble a permanently attached penetration.

Describe some of the advantages of your products.

Our products are designed to eliminate the need to re-use old flashings or install pitch pockets, which will eventually leak. Our Retro-Fit design allows for the easy installation of a new flashing or jack whenever it is difficult or too expensive to disassemble a roof penetration. The roof penetration might be supporting a sign, a piece of equipment, an electrical conduit, or fence, making it expensive and time consuming to cut and disassemble. For example, many re-roofing jobs are on buildings that have cooling towers. Cooling towers have large refrigerated water lines that are part of the mechanical infrastructure of the building. These lines include many different size supply and return pipes that penetrate the roof. These pipes might be as large as 10 inches in diameter and be constructed of copper, galvanized or black metal. They need to be waterproofed at the point that they penetrate the new roof. The challenge a roofer has is how to install a new flashing without taking apart the mechanical equipment that is large, heavy and potentially expensive to remove? Installing custom flashings is certainly an option, but not only costs a lot of money, but may require other trades such as a contractor with sheet metal or lead burning expertise. This adds time, complication and expense to the job.

With our Retro-Spin Flashing®, simply slide it on and spin it closed. Whether it's waterproofing a water line, a high voltage electrical line, or even an angle iron support or square post, our products provide simple and inexpensive solutions.

How does your Retro-Spin Flashing® work?

It's a flashing within a flashing; an inner and outer flashing. The inner flashing pivots within the outer flashing and once it spins, it closes the opening. By pivoting the inner within the outer flashing to the point that it is 180 degrees from the slotted opening, it creates a closed position.

How does it work with different shapes, sizes and geometries?

By using Retro-Spin Flashing® together with our Retro-Collars®, we can accommodate all of the different size and shape protrusions that are typical to most roofs. Our Retro-Collars® are designed to be used with our Retro-Spin Flashings® to create a total waterproofing solution.

Describe Retro-Collars® in more detail?

They are essentially a counter-flashing in the shape of an umbrella and attached to a penetration using a stainless steel hose clamp. The counter-flashing turns downward, the opposite of a flashing. All of our collars are made from E.P.D.M., which has been shown to exhibit long-life resistance to heat, ozone and sunlight.

Are there similar products on the market?

There are other storm collars on the market. None can be retrofitted. They all slide on from the top. Our Retro-Collars® slide from the side.

There is a flashing on the market where the roof penetration and the roof are mechanically connected together. This is an inferior design, because there is no allowance for the expansion and contraction of the building and roof surface. The competition's product locks together the roof and the penetration. Ours is designed to float because buildings and roof penetrations move at different rates, so our collars must also allow for this movement.

What type of applications are your products used for?

Any flat or sloped roof with a roof penetration passing through it. They are also used on vertical walls. There is a new code in California for commercial buildings making it mandatory to waterproof pipes that go from floor-to-floor. These pipes run through holes between floors and walls and include water lines, electrical conduits and sewer lines. Our Retro-Spin Flashing® is a perfect solution for waterproofing these floor-to-floor penetrations. Simply slide it on, spin it closed and use some mastic and power nail it in place with concrete nails.

What companies have used your products?

Our products have been used extensively on both remodels and new construction. Roof consultants love our products, as well as contractors, developers and building owners. Our products have been used by many companies, including Trammel Crow Residential, Essex Property Trust, Avalon Bay Communities and the University of California at Irvine, and many more. Our products are also used by residential homeowners.
