June 24, 2002—Quickflash Weatherproofing Products Inc. is expanding production of polyethylene plastic flashing panels for plumbing and electrical exterior protrusions. The panels, designed for multiple finishes such as stucco, wood siding, and veneers, reportedly eliminate the need for sheet metal flashing and caulking.
Company representatives assert that Quickflash products have tested as highly effective in stopping leaks and keeping out moisture which can lead to toxic mold, dry rot and other problems.
Toxic mold, an issue that has received significant media attention of late, has become the focus of a growing number of lawsuits within the building and construction industry. Some insurance carriers are now severely limiting, or even eliminating, the scope of toxic mold coverage in their policies. For more information, contact Quickflash.
