Abstract
A counter flashing system is provided for protecting a termination end of a roofing material and providing an asthetic cover. An anchor has a first end attached to a wall and a second end defining a mounting slot for receiving a counter flashing. A mounting end of the counter flashing is inserted into the slot and fastened. The slot and the mounting end of the counter flashing both include a plurality of teeth which engage each other to prohibit movement of the counter flashing. A free end of the counter flashing extends out from the mounting end and covers a portion of the wall which includes a roofing seal. The anchor and counter flashing protect the roofing seal from exposure to weather and sunlight as well as providing as aesthetically pleasing appearance. With the present invention, the components can be easily assembled, disassembled, or replaced.
