SOPRASMART^® offers fast, labor-saving installation

SOPREMA has developed a new time- and cost-saving product line, SOPRASMART Laminated Boards, combining its SOPRALENE SBS-modified bitumen membrane and cover board into one installation layer, resulting in application consistency and complete adhesion. By combining the roof membrane and cover board into one layer, installers can gain valuable time on job sites, in turn reducing labor cost and increasing overall job efficiency. This patented technology is the first and only of its kind and is available exclusively through SOPREMA. For more information, visit www.soprema.us.

Nodular walking surface technology

InterWrap^® has introduced a new and improved Titanium UDL25 roof underlayment featuring its patented Sure-Foot^® nodular walking surface that is backed by a new limited lifetime warranty! Unlike competing smooth-surfaced underlayments, UDL25 now features InterWrap's patented slip-resistant Sure-Foot nodular walking surface technology that allows for easier steep-slope walkability in wet or dusty conditions. UDL25 also offers big savings in time and labor as it is more than 30 percent faster to install than oil-saturated felt and 14 times stronger than #30 felt! Gray technology provides for a cooler working surface during installations, and it can be left exposed for up to six months. Visit InterWrap.com/roofing for more information.
