The composition quick mount is backed by solid engineering and certified by the ICC-ES.

Composition roof mounts are a good choice for composition roofs. As manufacturer Quick Mount explains, they are easy to install, universally code-compliant, and watertight.

With the mount, there’s no need for trimming shingles to force a fit. The company says just to drill one pilot hole into the rafter, backfill it with appropriate sealant, slide the mount flashing beneath the felt in the course above, and drive the bolt home. The 12 x 12-inch Composition Mount flashing is designed to fit within a standard 5 to 5.5″ course and the exposed course should be no greater than 5.75″. If the exposure is greater than this, the manufacturer recommends use the Shake Mount as an alternative. The mount eliminates shingle cutting and shingle distortion that’s usually caused by trying to force a fit.

PV, Solar hot water, and more
The mount is a suitable choice not only for solar PV installation, but also for rooftop solar hot water systems. They are good for fastening to a composition roof–HVAC equipment, antennas, satellite dishes–to secure and protect roof installations.
