What it takes to be "Thaler or Equal"
When specifications read Thaler or Equal, it is the responsibility of specifiers and building owners to determine what it means to be “Or Equal”. The following data has been presented to quickly help assess the comparative merits of “competitive” products. Thaler Products for Metal Roofs have a number of Value Added features that should be considered when trying to equate the “Or Equal”.

Added Features
Eliminates condensaton; the D-100 black colored patented flashing has unique design at bottom (Base Seal). The EPDM “memory” in the flashing provides constant pressure to the outside of any type of roof protrusion to prevent the entry of interior air and formation of condensation. See “Thaler D-100 EPDM Flexible Flashing for Metal Roofs” literature.
Eliminates leaks; the unique Triple Pressure Grommet seal at the top of the flashing prevents moisture infiltration from exterior. See EPDM “memory” above.
Incorporates air barrier principles; meets the requirements for air leakage control better than any other flashing for sloped metal roofs..
Dispels fear of penetrating metal roofs; overcomes shortcomings of previous methods of supporting and/or flashing metal panel roof protrusions. The Thaler D-100 Flexible flashing will not compromise roof integrity by potentially promoting roof leaks, metal corrosion or subsequent additional maintenance.
Suitable for wide range of protrusions; has been designed for all types of Thaler ancillary equipment supports for architectural, mechanical and electrical applications, and fall arrest products, e.g. horizontal lifeline applications.
Ensures structural sufficiency; takes the guesswork out of support strength. The Thaler D-100 requires protrusions to be attached to roof framing structural members where applicable.
Aesthetically pleasing; arguably the best looking flashing for metal roof protrusions that permits clean assembly without messy caulking or site fabrication.
Can be configuraed for all metal panel profiles; base of flashing is pre-formed to suit specific panel profile. There is not site fitting, pressing or configuring required. A perfect seal is achieved every time - without relying on degree of installer expertise..
Suitable for all slopes and metal gauges; accommodates roof pitches from 1/2:12 to 12:12 (2° to 45°) and any thickness of metal roofing.
Accommodates expansion and contraction; 1-1/4" (32 mm) clearance dimension in metal roof at support locations offsets any thermal movement that is constantly taking place in metal structure or roof panels, from any direction;.
Permanent, maintenance-free installation; relies on silicone dipped aluminum lock rivets with synthetic rubber washers to seal base of flashing to the metal roof. No scheduled maintenance is required (never, ever needs caulking).
Eliminates controversial warranty issues; indiscriminate drilling of holes for duct supports or other rooftop equipment is discouraged thereby avoiding warranty violations.
20-year Warranty; guaranteed against leaks, condensation and defects in materials and/or manufacture when installed in accordance with Thaler written "Installation Instructions".
