Replacing my metal flashing with a Dektite Silicone boot flashing. These are a lot better way to seal your chimney on your woodburning stove through a tin roof. The previous one had leaked and this will make a great seal. Make sure to use the right caulk as well

I need to put a chimney through a sheet steel cabin roof, I've been trying to figure out how to do it properly with that steel flange you removed. Seems the more research I do, the more I think it's better to go with one of these flexible boots. They aren't cheap, but in the end, knowing they will seal properly is probably worth it.

@BryanHansen Жыл бұрын

This was such a better solution when it was all said and done. For a metal roof this is the only way to go IMO.

Installed one just like it except I used butyl tape for the seal rather than silicone. Nice product, seems to be holding up perfectly after 1 season at least.

We use Haslet Roof Top platforms. A lot less cutting, it seals great, and actually looks good.

Warning, if you have a galvanized roof make sure your silicone is not acid cure. It will corrode.

has you’re boot had any problems with melting or not withstanding the temp of the chimney pipe?

No, not at all and I’m burning coal. The red boot is the high temp boot and it has performed perfectly.

How do you seal the top of the dektite onto the chimney?

@BryanHansen 2 жыл бұрын

It is such a tight fit around the pipe that it is watertight. I still ran a bead of RTV silicone around it, but you cut it to size and it fits really tight

Hey, do you think most rubber boots can be screwed just directly to 3/4" roof decking? Or does it need 2x4 or 2x6 framing

@BryanHansen Жыл бұрын

I think you would be fine screwing it to the roof sheeting/decking. I wasn't screwing this into the purlins, just the metal roofing. Works phenomenally.

@jackktorness Жыл бұрын

@@BryanHansen Really? I'm worried it will act as a water dam and leak. I might orient it at as a diamond to help shed water. i don't have as good an orientation to the ribs as you do. I would use a standard metal flashing if I could but the chimney I'm using its a weird size and not standard in the U.S.

@BryanHansen Жыл бұрын

@@jackktorness it should all seal up. That’s why you use the silicone and gasket washer screws.

@@jackktorness Unfortunately when you go diamond pattern it overlaps more tall ribs. This in my opinion makes more areas of damming.

Nice, I'm hoping to attempt this. So do you put any roofing silicone on the join between the flue and the top of the flashing? Or is that a secure seal?

@@BryanHansen Yeah it's coming in between the roof and the dektite mate. I put a lot of silicone (and screws) so it's a bit frustrating. Unfortunately the flue is pulling the tin roofing down slightly causing a depression which is allowing water to pool around the seal.

I turn them like a diamond. Less surface area for water and gives it a path to flow away

You don’t apply silicon to the bottom edge, only 2 sides and top so if the silicon fails it allows the water to escape.
