Take venting efficiency through the roof

Using the wrong vent can be a major liability. There is one vent that has you covered.

  • Shaping the future

  • A grand entrance in Dallas

    The Dallas City Performance Hall's roof system incorporates the longest Kalzip® mechanically seamed, aluminum-plus, zinc-coated panels in North America. Installed by Castro Roofing of Texas, Dallas, workers overcame numerous logistical and installation challenges to install the first LEED® Silver-certified performance hall in Texas. For its exceptional safety efforts, Castro Roofing received a 2014 Gold Circle Safety Award.

  • Asphalt system overkill

    Manufacturers often give their roofing contractor customers more asphalt-based roof system choices than they need. Choice can be a good thing, but not when it threatens to confuse customers, complicates the sales process and drives up costs. It is in customers' best interests to not offer a dozen products that provide the same features. If manufacturers can successfully produce fewer SKUs, it will improve competitiveness, cost and profits for the asphalt roofing industry.
