Bathroom vent through metal roof
Kevin McGuire| Posted inGreen Products and Materialson
When looking online for flashing products for a bathroom vent about all I came across was the same type of flashings used for pipes – a pipe boot.
What are some other options or is this what I need to use for a standing seam metal roof?see attachment

Kevin,
There are a few options.
- If it's new construction you can build a small curb much like you do for a skylight and flash it appropriately.
- Or you can use a more conventional roof vent and lap the roof panels over the top flange, much like you would with a metal chimney.
- If it's an existing metal roof you need to use one of the boots you have linked to.
