Why Back Tray Flashing is a Must

Installing a back tray flashing is highly recommended for any skylight positioned on a roof pitch under 15 degrees. Its design effectively removes the section of roofing sheet behind the skylight. As a result, when rain hits the back tray, it seamlessly diverts water into the sheet pan on either side of the flashing, preventing any potential leaks. Read our blog for more information
