York Flashings announced the release of Wicked Good Flashing, a new product innovation that replaces traditional rubberized asphalt. The product is set to redefine the flashing industry by providing better puncture resistance, a watertight bond and six-month UV protection at a comparable price.
Wicked Good Flashing is designed to address the evolving changes in the building code for commercial and residential buildings. With its unparalleled functionality, the product offers a range of benefits that will elevate moisture management and set new standards in the flashing market.
Key features of Wicked Good Flashing include:
- Innovative technology: 40-mil-thick through-wall flashing and transition membrane with an extra-tough, abrasion-resistant facer that provides six months of UV protection.
- Enhanced performance: The butyl adhesive allows for a primerless installation that saves on both material and labor. It also has better puncture and tear resistance than rubberized asphalt.
- Versatility: Compatible with air barrier materials, roofing membranes, below-grade waterproofing, construction sealants, insulation and various construction adhesives.
“We are thrilled to introduce Wicked Good Flashing to the building enclosure industry,” said Craig Wetmore, president of York Flashings. “This product represents savings in installation cost and speed. It will also have a longer lifespan than rubberized asphalt peel and sticks.”
