Furnish and install this Empire Slate tile roofing system in strict accordance with specifications and <br />drawings approved by EcoStar. <br /> <br />C. Related Work <br /> <br />1. Metal flashing work is not covered in this specification since EcoStar does NOT warrant metal <br />flashing. EcoStar advises that metal flashing and securement of metal should be to industry <br />standards (SMACNA) to prevent the metal from pulling free or buckling. EcoStar also suggests <br />that all flashing metal be stainless steel or copper (see 3.03D). <br /> <br />2. Roof ventilation products are not covered by the EcoSt ar Gold Star warranty. EcoStar advises <br />that a ridge style venting system be utilized to ensure the best possible air movement and to <br />provide the best aesthetic appearance to the roofing system. If a ridge ventilation system is not <br />to be used on the project, another form of ventilation may be used. <br />1.02 QUALITY ASSURANCE <br />A.
