Default Protecto Wrap
Anyone have advice on this application? Protecto wrap at the chimney in place of metal flashing.

Looks like it as meant as a detterant behind the siding and not meant as a permanent chimney flash. have never seen it before though.

That looks ugly on that chimney. Plus I can't see how it transitions from chimney to roof.

It does not look like the Self-Adhering Foil-FacedMembrane Flashing described in the following link.

Agree with you Larry, just don't see how that could be considered permanent.

To me it looks to be nothing more than a moisture barrier.

My advice is that it's wrong.

Just call the 800 number on the product for proof.

No clue what's up with this. And why would there be siding going up around, and over the chimney?
