Key Features

Flexible EPDM gasket that conforms to shingle texture
Self-sealing adhesive layer activated by pressure
Compatible with all asphalt shingle profiles
Easy retrofit under existing headwall flashing

Target Users: Homeowners and roofing contractors dealing with wind-driven water intrusion at headwall flashing joints, especially in high-wind regions.

Revenue Model: $39.95 per 10-foot kit, direct-to-consumer and wholesale to roofing supply distributors
