Cap and base sheets are durable
|
|
IKO has introduced its redesigned Roof-Fast™ Cap and Base for low-slope roof systems.
The Roof-Fast Cap is a self-adhering, polymer-modified bitumen cap sheet constructed of a reinforcing mat of nonwoven glass fibers that are coated and permeated before mineral surface application. The Roof-Fast Base is made of a durable, reinforcing mat of nonwoven glass fibers coated and permeated with polymer-modified asphalt.
Available in full squares to align with how roofing workers measure and estimate materials, the Roof-Fast Cap and Base create a robust, multilayer roof system that reportedly allows for leak protection and durability.
The products come wrapped in a band to reduce package waste and simplify handling. Additionally, new product instructions include six languages: Chinese, English, French, Polish, Punjabi and Spanish.
Insulation panels are rigid

Drexel Metals has made available three rigid roof insulation panels: the Defend-R, Defend-R Coated Glass and Defend-R Nail Base.
Compatible with all major roof systems and approved for direct application to steel decks, the Defend-R is composed of a polyisocyanurate foam core manufactured on-line to fiber-reinforced facers on each side.
Defend-R Coated Glass is composed of polyisocyanurate foam manufactured on-line to a coated glass facer on both sides. It reportedly offers installation flexibility with options for white or dark facers to control flash-off times in fully adhered applications.
The Defend-R Nail Base is composed of polyisocyanurate foam core manufactured on-line to a fiber-reinforced facer on one side and oriented strand board or plywood fastening substrate on the other side. It provides a solid surface to attach standing-seam metal panels, shingles or slate tiles, as well as single-ply roof systems.
Shim provides ventilation
|
ATAS International Inc. has introduced the ATAS Above Sheathing Ventilation/Thermal Break shim. The shim aims to act as a thermal barrier and enhance the energy efficiency of a roof system.
ATAS ASV/TB reportedly ventilates the air space between the roof cladding material and the subassembly and roof deck to allow for the temperature of the roof cladding to be closer to the outdoor ambient temperature. It is said to reduce heat gain passing through a roof assembly during summer, add insulation value during winter and minimize the effect on condensation between the roof layers and wall assemblies.
Color options are updated
|
Petersen has updated its color palette and gauge availability for its PAC-CLAD architectural metal cladding systems, coil and flat sheets.
The new color options include Antique Bronze, Buckskin, Classic Bronze, Inkwell, Iron Ore, Regal White and Traditional Black and are available in 24-gauge steel.
Vent boot increases efficiency
|
GAF has made available the GAF EverGuard® Self-Adhered TPO Vent Boot. Manufactured from GAF’s durable EverGuard TPO single-ply membrane, the vent boot intends to increase efficiency and reduce the level of experience and time users need to install it.
In addition, GAF has added new features to its Timberline HDZ® Reflector Series shingles. The shingles now include enhanced EcoDark® Granule technology, allowing for darker colors, and time-release, algae-fighting technology, which protects against blue-green algae discoloration.
