IMetal roofing underlaymets

You cut your seams and sauder at the chimney?i used to stop about 5 inchs short and roll a face flashing in and lock in the sides and back pan.Which kind of bull do you use for counter flashimg? :laugh:

Why no rosin paper tin man?

Awesome pics tinner.....The locals here, would go into shock!.....They haven't a clue how to install a roof, without the securety of an I&W underlayment, to make up for their incompetency :laugh:

Thanks for clarifying Tom! :) I thought I had lost my clarity when reading the question and was dumbfounded by it. :blink: It did come out of left field! Yes, many of mine are free of underlay and if I use it, it gets cut back at walls, etc. so my metal can join together w/o interference. My favorite underlay is 1 x 8's.

You honestly threw me!

That's correct tinner, and I believe we have similar experiences/knowledge regarding underlayment dependency, as per previous threads. I'm the one with the tile roof at 7,500', in a severe snow region, on spaced sheathing w/o any underlayment what-so-ever.

Anyhow.....I must admit, I experienced a momentary loss of reason when I posted the question....I was sucked-in by the overwhelming local underlayment dependent competitors I must deal with....They're squabbling about which I&W is better, on a particualr project we're competing for.

Tinner...Thanks for the moment of clarity! However, I'm not dealing with, (how can I say this?)......... authentic roofers? So, "when in Rome".........."

I agree with tinner. Nowadays we all mostly use some form of Hi-temp Sap. whatever you use it should not stick to the deck and the metal.

How would anybody know? The water will never get to it,a nd it will turn to dust before the roof fails, like under slate. It shouldn't much matter what's under there, imho. You'd have to remove the roof to know, right?

If there's a leak, it's a roof issue, usually workmnaship, not an underlay issue and no underlay will keep the water out in the case of a leak.
