Abstract: A counter flashing system is provided for protecting a termination end of a roofing material and providing an asthetic cover. An anchor has a first end attached to a wall and a second end defining a mounting slot for receiving a counter flashing. A mounting end of the counter flashing is inserted into the slot and fastened. The slot and the mounting end of the counter flashing both include a plurality of teeth which engage each other to prohibit movement of the counter flashing. A free end of the counter flashing extends out from the mounting end and covers a portion of the wall which includes a roofing seal. The anchor and counter flashing protect the roofing seal from exposure to weather and sunlight as well as providing as aesthetically pleasing appearance. With the present invention, the components can be easily assembled, disassembled, or replaced.

Abstract: A surface mounted counter flashing system and method is provided for securing and sealing a free end of a roofing material to a wall. A compression plate secures and compressingly seals the free end of a roofing material against the wall surface. The top end of the compression plate defines a first sealing trough for receiving a sealing material. The bottom end of the compression plate includes locking portion for attachment to a counter flashing. The counter flashing includes a mounting surface which is mounted to the wall above compression plate. A covering surface extends out from the mounting surface and encloses the compression plate protecting it from exposure to weather. A locking member is provided on the covering surface which connects and attaches to the compression plate, thus, securing the counter flashing. The top end of the counter flashing defines a second sealing trough for receiving the sealing material. Adjacent counter flashings are installed end-to-end leaving a gap therebetween.
