How to Install Low Rise Flashing | Torch Down Roofing Guide

Every roof needs edge metal flashing. In this video I will show you how to install low rise flashing on your flat torch down roof. Low rise flashing is the edge metal used on flat roofs.

*Please note that torch down roofing is dangerous and should be installed by a licensed professional. Using an open flame can pose a fire risk and therefore must be handled carefully.*

Make sure to wear fire resistant gloves when installing torch down roofing.
Keep all flammable scrap and debris at least 10 feet away from the building. A fire extinguisher is needed within 50 feet of anywhere where more than 5 gallons of flammable or combustible liquids or 5 pounds of flammable gas are being used on the job site. No one on a job site can be more than 100 feet away from a fire extinguisher at all times. There must be at least one fire extinguisher for 3,000 square feet of work area.
