Flashing detail for low slope tie in

Return to Installation

Return to Forum

Hello, New 4/12 standing seam, transitioning to existing low slope (1/2:12), double layer, self adhered roll roofing. I see it's a common question, but I'm confused on the preferred method to install the underlayment and flashing. Is it best to have the flashing over the P&S like a valley or P&S over the flashing (drawing attached)? Thanks, any suggestions appreciated.

Are you doing this roof? Why not run mechanical standing seam on the low slope section? Either way, I prefer to run the low slope up the section with greater slope. Put your peal and stick over that transition and have you underlayment go over that. Have a bit longer starter piece that extends over the low slope section and acts as a bit of a valley (if I were doing it). Eric Novotny

Yes, I'll be the muscle. And why not redo the low slope now? Because it's in good shape and I'm cheap. Please confirm my interpretation: flashing applied over the underlayment and extended out onto the low slope for 3 or 4 inches (picture attached), Thanks

Looks good. I would just make sure the transition flashing isn't super tight so that water can drain out freely. Eric Novotny
