QuickMount® components are designed on the principle of using state-of-the-art technology to make roof-mounted solar easier to install, stronger and more reliable, and 100% waterproof.
QBlock® Technology
Ensuring Long-Term Water Seal Integrity
QuickMount® revolutionized rooftop solar mounting in 2006 when it introduced the Classic Composition Mount. The underlying technology, the patented QBlock® Elevated Water Seal Technology®, has since been proven in millions of installations.
QBlock® Innovation
Other roof mounts seal the bolt holes in the flashing with a rubber seal mounted directly against the flashing at the water level. A leak is almost inevitable as the seal slowly deteriorates in the harsh roofing environment. The QuickMount® patented QBlock® uses an aluminum flute to elevate the EPDM rubber seal above the flashing and out of harm’s way.
The cast-aluminum QBlock® completely encloses the rubber seal, shielding the sealing area from the ravages of rain, ice and UV exposure, and minimizing stresses on the rubber seal caused by thermal- and wind-induced movement of the solar array. A secondary rubber seal provides a final measure of safety.

- Meets or exceeds roofing industry best practices
- 100% IBC compliant
QBlock® for Tile Products
QBase® Technology
A Superior Base-and-Post Mounting System
QuickMount® developed QBase® to provide a strong and versatile mounting solution for installations with high standoffs.
QBase® Innovation
Typical base-and-post mounting systems lose structural integrity when standoffs exceed a few inches. The QBase® has a super-strong cast aluminum foundation with four gussets to support standoff posts from 3.75 to 12 inches. The single base for all post heights reduces the number of components needed for a wide variety of roof types and installations.
QBase® Applications
When standoffs get higher than several inches, such as with installations on curved tile and commercial built-up or insulated low slope roofs, QBase® superior strength and proven waterproofing provide decades-long confidence.
QBase® Technology Benefits
- Supports standoffs up to 12 inches
- Exceptional shear and pullout strength
- Adaptable to asphalt shingle, tile, shake, slate, metal shingle, and low slope roofs
- Meets or exceeds roofing industry best practices
- 100% IBC compliant
QHook® Technology
Optimizing the Tile Hook
Engineered for strength, QHook® enables simple tile hook mounting on more tile roof jobs. Form-fitting flashing and a sliding base-hook interface allow fast, economical installation without penetrating or replacing tiles.
QHook® Innovation
A unique sliding hook-and-base track enables several inches of side-to-side adjustment to position the hook to the optimal location between the tiles. The base has multiple sets of mounting holes for even more flexibility. Pre-formed flashing provides code-compliant deck-level waterproofing.
QHook® Applications
QHook® enables streamlined tile roof installations with no hole cutting, less dust, and fewer broken tiles.
QHook® Technology Benefits
- Significantly expands the opportunities to use tile hooks
- Enables fast, cost-effective installation
- Deck-level flashing provides code-required waterproofing and an attractive appearance
- Meets or exceeds roofing industry best practices
- 100% IBC compliant
