RoofScreen System: Roof Attachment

The RoofScreen Roof Attachment System creates a structural mounting point that is completely watertight. Perfect for supporting roof screens, solar racks, or any other rooftop equipment on commercial roofs.

•  Installs from above

•  Works with all types of roofing

•  Attaches to all types of roof framing

Assembled view

The Roof Screen system is adaptable to any type of roof structure. In most cases, the Base Supports can be installed directly into the structural members from above without going inside the building. Occasionally, extra blocking or through bolts are required.

Base Supports

•  Size: All Base Supports are 6" x 6"

•  Heights: 5", 9" and 12" accommodates different insulation thicknesses

•  Material: Steel

•  Finish: Powder coat primer

The Base Supports are the main anchor to the roof structure. The holes in the bottom plate (on the inside) provide a means of attaching to the structural members in the roof framing.

Flashing

•  Size: Fits over 6" Base Support, 4" flange on roof

•  Heights: 5", 9" and 10"

•  Material: All stainless, stainless riser with lead base, and TPO single ply

The flashing is the weather barrier that keeps the roof penetrations watertight. It fits over the 6" Base Support and extends onto the roof 4" for proper roofing.

The height of the Stainless Flashing can be easily adjusted to account for the thickness of insulation. Simply snip the four corners and snap the tabs off by bending back and forth at the nearest break line.

Rubber Gasket

The self adhering EPDM foam rubber gasket strip is applied to the outside of the flashing at or near the top of the Base Support. When the Base Cap is installed, the gasket is compressed to create a tight seal.

The use of the gasket is optional because the Base Cap flashes 2.4" over the top of the Base Support and Flashing. We recommend the gasket in areas where there is ice and snow, or if splashing water is possible.

Base Cap Assembly

•  Size: fits over 6" Base Support

•  Counter Flash: 2.4"

•  Material: Steel

•  Finish: Powder coat black

The Base Cap keeps the assembly watertight. It caps the top of the Flashing Boot and Base Support overlapping them by 2.4", while compressing the Rubber Gasket and creating the seal.
