According to the manufacturer, this 100% silicone spray sealant is the industry's first permanent silicone aerosol spray sealant. The product forms a permanent leak-proof seal and provides a lifetime limited warranty. It can withstand rain within 15 minutes of application and provide a firm bond to almost any surface-skylights, waterproofing boards, roofs, window sills, foundations, metal, concrete, and glass.

This combination of rock wool roof insulation and covering panels reduces the number of layers required for low-slope roof components. The insulating board has a built-in cover plate and a mineral-coated glass fiber surface layer, which is compatible with a variety of connection methods. The manufacturer says it can improve the overall roof performance by adjusting the temperature of the insulation material, especially in cold temperatures.

This one-component liquid synthetic rubber air, steam and liquid moisture barrier is easy to apply and cure to form a tough, seamless elastic film. The highly flexible membrane provides strong adhesion to span long lengths, ensuring a continuous barrier. It adheres to the most common surfaces and various wall systems, and is suitable for new construction and restoration. Non-toxic, low VOC content.

This insulation and finishing system for roofs and walls of metal buildings has an automated installation process and can provide a tensioned ceiling support system for uncompressed full-layer insulation. This method provides OSHA-compliant fall protection and eliminates bottom straps, straps, and fasteners throughout the ceiling for faster and easier installation. Designed for spans up to 200 feet.

The roof slab is reinforced with EONIC technology to provide better water resistance and higher vertical tension. The manufacturing specifications include a surface water absorption of 1 gram and a total water absorption of 5%, which are the most stringent in the industry. Independent testing has shown that ½-inch gypsum fiberboard absorbs 132% more water than ½-inch DensDeck Prime with EONIC.

The composite rocking shingle series includes three colors-aged cedar, mossy cedar and black oak-designed to reflect the different gradual aging processes on real rocking shingles. The product has a lifetime limited warranty and will not crack, crack, curl or fade. They can also resist fire, impact, strong wind, mold, algae, fungus and insects. Provide wavy or straight lines throughout the tile.

This cold roof system for liquid applications uses a new bright white formula and has been tested with an initial solar reflectance index of 110. The fully reinforced membrane is solvent-free, odorless, and has a low VOC content. The system cures to a bright white finish. No topcoat is required, which can reduce labor costs and installation time. Listed by Cool Roof Rating Council.

Firestone’s UltraPly TPO SA and RubberGard EPDM SA use the company’s new Secure Bond Technology, a self-adhesive film with factory-applied pressure-sensitive adhesives. According to the manufacturer, the system has improved installation speed and expanded the weather window compared to the traditional TPO fully adhered system, enabling installation to 20 F.

The manufacturer stated that this enhanced EPDM membrane using "tape-to-tape technology" has been field tested and the installation speed is four times faster than other membranes. It has been measured that the initial bond strength between the tape and the tape film has increased by 20% compared with the joints made on site. The waterproof joints are never exposed on the roof, so the risk of contamination during installation is small.

This series of engineered slate shingles and cedar shingles are made from hand-selected real slate and ground cedar, using digital scanning molds to reprint the fine details of natural shingles. The solid composition containing recycled resin creates a durable roofing material that performs well under rigorous testing conditions. Can withstand hail, ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures and wind speeds up to 190 mph.

The improvement of this self-adhesive SBS modified asphalt roofing material means that this long-standing system can now withstand installation at temperatures close to freezing. Both Flintlastic SA Cap and Flintlastic SA Cap FR (fire-resistant) covers can be installed at temperatures below 40 F using a hot-air welder. This allows roofers to work quickly in winter without worrying about sudden drops in temperature.

The world's first spray-grade silyl-terminated polyether (STPE) waterproofing membrane, this product is designed for front-side waterproofing, foundation waterproofing, and above-ground and horizontal waterproofing applications. This one-component, liquid application, moisture-curing elastic product can be applied in vertical and horizontal applications with minimal preparation.
