App Concept
WrapFlash Split Pipe Flashing
WrapFlash is a pre-split, seam-sealable pipe flashing designed for tight spaces where overhead lines or other obstacles prevent slipping a standard flashing over the pipe. It installs in two halves that lock together with rivets and integrated sealant, eliminating the need for utility disconnects or messy tar mounds.
Key Features
- Pre-split vertically for two-piece wraparound installation
- Integrated rivet-and-sealant seam for weatherproof closure
- Compatible with standard pipe boot and counter-flashing
- Available in common pipe diameters and roof pitches
Target Users: Roofing contractors and DIY homeowners who need to flash pipes near obstacles like power lines, walls, or vents.
Revenue Model: $15–$25 per unit, sold through roofing supply distributors and online retailers
