Alta Products' Roof Boot Flashing Installation Guide

Nowadays, everyone wants to use roof boot flashing to strengthen buildings and reduce indoor mould problems. Every house has a plumbing vent pipe that runs through the roof, and the majority of the pipes are sealed with boot flashing. How about your home? Are you using the proper roof boot flashing? If not, a roofing supply store will most likely have a large selection. Choose roof boot flashings that are strong and waterproof to last the life of a new roof. When it comes to installing boot flashing on your roof, follow these simple steps:


·       Clean The Vent Pipe: To install roof boot flashing, firstly, clean the vent pipe. There may be old waterproof filters and sealant on the pipe. You can remove the old dirt and debris by using a 6-inch knife, scissors or even a good pair of aviation snips. The better you clean the pipe, the better the results with a good seal for your roof boot.


·       Apply Silicone Sealant: The silicone sealant must be applied to the area of the roof where the aluminum flange is attached. Make sure to add a heavy bead of sealant to the aluminum flange itself.

Note: Using a sufficient silicone sealant is very essential to make the boot fit securely.


·       Fitting The Boot Flashing on the Roof: Measure the diameter of the pipe before you purchase the boot because opening the top of the boot should be smaller than the diameter of the pipe. Then you can install a perfect roof boot flashing in order to create a snug and watertight seal. Make sure that the bottom of the boot is flush with the top of the ridged roof. The aluminum flange on the boot should be pressed down into the large furrow of the roof. Use enough sealant to secure the boot within the proper position.
