watertight solar installations
UltraGrip Technology™ is an integrated flashing system that utilizes flexible foam and sealant to flash the roof. This patent-pending technology is a non-metal flashing solution that eliminates the need to pry up shingle courses to install traditional flashing.
Integrated Flashing System
Flexible Foam
A layer of flexible EPDM foam provides cushioning and embeds the sealant deep into the shingle granules and gaps and around the shingle steps.
WATERPROOF SEALANT
A super-sticky, proprietary roofer’s sealant adheres to the shingle surface and conforms with the shingle granules. Mounts can be installed in ambient temperature as low as 5° Fahrenheit and up to 118° Fahrenheit.
Features & Benefits:
- Easy to install – just remove release liner from the sealant stack
- Can be installed on top of architectural steps up to 1/8″
- Eliminates the need to drill pilot holes
- No messy sealant for most installations*
- No need to add shims for shingle leveling
- Double-sided release liner protects the sealant on wet roofs pre-installation
- Compatible with all composition shingle roofs
UltraGrip Technology™ absorbs the movement created by thermal expansion and contraction, ensuring a reliable long-term installation.
*Except for the rare case of installation over a shingle joint
UltraGrip Technology is utilized on:
RockIt Smart Slide
A simple solution for quickly installing the RockIt rail-less racking system to any type of composition shingle roof.
- Conforms to UL 2703
- Florida Product Approved
- 6.75″ length is ideal for avoiding overlaps in shingles
ClickFit Smart Foot
Combines with the ClickFit rail-based racking system to install on any type of composition shingle roof.
- Conforms to UL 2703
- Florida Product Approved
- Raised metal ring encapsulates the foam, sealant, and granules, serving as a secondary waterproofing layer
Water Protection at its best
While not all EcoFasten products incorporate UltraGrip Technology™, waterproofing is a key design element when it comes to developing any of our various solar racking systems and attachments. Our patented Four-Seal Watertight Technology is incorporated into many of most popular roof attachments.
