Decktite flashings

[Hitch]

Need to fit some decktite flashings, but what sort of sealant would be best, the black roof and gutter seal stuff? polysulphide? GenPurp silicone....?

Onto box profile sheet for what its worth.....

Hitch, the Sikaflex range of sealants and adhesives is the best I have ever used .....look at..http://www.uksealants.co.uk/

Generally no sealant is required around the pipe where the Dektite collar provides compression fit. However, some metal pipes and flues include a seam, which may require a local application of silicone sealant at the point where the Dektite collar crosses the seam.


The high-grade silicone sealant included in fixing kits remains flexible throughout the life of the flashing. It is an adhesive as well as a sealant and will remain serviceable to the same extremes of temperatures as the Dektite flashing range.

Looks like decent silicone will do the job
