For years, we've been "copying and pasting" traditional flashing techniques into our new codes and specifications. Today's homes are built with multiple trades speaking several languages using a variety of claddings, many with their own unique challenges. This seminar will teach you how to use new materials and updated technologies to keep water from infiltrating asphalt shingle roofs. (Steep Slope)
