Labor Shortage? Prefabricated Flashings Can Help

With limited labor available it’s time for contractors to be innovative and do more with less.

One of the biggest problems facing the roofing industry today is shortage of labor. There is enough work out there but there aren’t enough workers to get the jobs done.

A recent article on Construct-Ed discussed the shortage and offered three options to address the issue, one of which was to increase technology and innovation in the industry. The article named Acme Cone and the use of prefabricated flashings on single-ply roofs as an innovative technology that decreases the amount of labor needed to complete a job.

Watch this time study to see for yourself the time savings gained by using prefabricated flashings. The worker using a prefabricated flashing realized a 48 percent time savings. Labor is scarce so it’s important to take advantage of every technology out there that will enable your crews to work more efficiently and move on to the next job.

Flashings from Acme Cone are the best solution for productive, high-quality single-ply roofing installations. The A-Cone is one of Acme Cone’s most popular products on account of the range of pipes it can accommodate.  Contractors can try it for free.
