Membranes stay clean
GAF has made available its MembraneShield™ Temporary Dirt-Blocking Film for EverGuard® TPO membranes.
The monolayer protective sheet reportedly helps keep the TPO membrane clean during installation, protecting new membranes from dirt, footprints, equipment tracks and wind-blown spray. It is available on EverGuard 60- and 80-mil smooth TPO membranes and EverGuard 60-mil Fleece-back membranes.
Eliminate manual invoicing
Roof Chief has launched its integrated payment processing feature, allowing contractors to accept credit cards, ACH bank transfers and digital wallet payments through the Roof Chief platform. The feature reportedly eliminates the need for third-party payment tools or manual invoicing.
Tape protects against moisture
Polyglass U.S.A. Inc. has introduced its Polystrip™ SA, a nonreinforced, self-adhering roof deck joint tape designed to provide a watertight seal to roof deck joints, reportedly protecting against moisture infiltration caused by wind-driven rain, ice dams and other severe weather during which the roof covering or underlayment may be compromised.
The tape is made of an ultraviolet- and slip-resistant film laminated to an aggressive elastomeric SBS polymer-modified asphalt self-adhering compound and release paper said to allow for faster installation.
Polystrip SA is compatible with Polystick® and Polyanchor® underlayments.
Liquid flashing is versatile
TYPAR® has launched TYPAR Liquid Flashing, an elastomeric liquid flashing designed for air and water sealing.
The flashing reportedly adheres to a wide range of construction materials including concrete, glass, metals, oriented strand board, plywood and PVC. Suitable for rough openings and joint details, it can be applied in temperatures as cold as 50 F and is solvent- and isocyanate-free.
