Available in Two
Different Styles: Reglet and Retrofit!
Most local, state and
federal building codes dealing with residential chimney
construction call for a flashing and counter flashing system
at the chimney/roof juncture. This is because the chimney is
on a separate foundation from the home and is subject to
movement independent from the home. The flashing, generally
attached to the roof, has to move freely from under the
counter flashing (attached to the chimney), or the water
seal becomes broken and leaks develop.
-

-
Retrofit

Either
style has been in use for years by roofers everywhere
and are widely accepted practices.
