All the plastics that I have researched have UV deterioration issues with a
relativly short life span. One thing to keep in mind with all this is that
you want the roofing material and flashings to have a simlar life
expectancy. Not much good putting the extra$$$ for 80 year flashings for a
50 year roofing material. I think I will stick with copper and LCC for now
and take the amount of tanic acid exposure into account when selecting the
flashing thickness.

What would be wrong with plastic?
