TORONTO, Aug. 2, 2024
/CNW/ - IKO, a worldwide leader in the roofing, waterproofing and
insulation industries for residential and commercial markets, today
announced the newly revamped Roof-Fast™ Cap and Base for the U.S.
and Canadian markets. The Low-Slope Roofing Components have been
redesigned with direct feedback from IKO's valued customers.
"At IKO, we are committed to delivering products that truly
meet the needs of our diverse customer base," said Vince Carrier, residential product development
manager at IKO North America. "The improvements made to Roof-Fast™
Cap and Base reflect our dedication to innovation, product quality
and the installer's valued input. By incorporating feedback and
expanding our product's accessibility with multilingual support, we
aim to provide a solution that resonates with both residential as
well as commercial applications across North America."
Integrating user preferences, Roof-Fast™ Cap and Base now come in
full squares instead of short square rolls, aligning with how
roofers measure and estimate materials for easier calculations and
application. Additionally, the product now comes wrapped in a band
instead of a box or bag, reducing packaging waste and simplifying
handling. To further cater to IKO's diverse customer base,
Roof-Fast™ Cap and Base now include multilingual instructions in
six languages — English, French, Spanish, Punjabi, Chinese
(Simplified) and Polish. This ensures that users receive clear and
easily comprehensible instructions in the language they are most
comfortable with.
Low-slope roofs present unique challenges, but IKO Roof-Fast™
Low-Slope Roofing Components are engineered to address these
effectively. When paired together, Roof-Fast™ Cap and Base create a
robust, multilayer roofing system that helps ensure optimal leak
protection and durability. This makes them an excellent choice for
both new constructions and renovations of low-slope roofs,
especially in climates prone to prolonged, wind-driven rain or ice
dams. Ideal for both residential and commercial applications,
Roof-Fast™ provides the reliability needed to handle various
roofing conditions.
IKO Roof-Fast™ Base is constructed of a durable, reinforcing mat
of nonwoven glass fibers that have been coated and permeated with
polymer-modified asphalt. It's a self-adhesive product that
features the flexibility of either a self-adhered installation
method that can easily be cold-applied, or an optional mechanical
installation method.
IKO Roof-Fast™ Cap is a self-adhered, polymer-modified cap sheet
constructed of a durable, reinforcing mat of nonwoven glass fibers
that have been coated and permeated before applying mineral
surface. Available in a range of attractive colors, including
White, Dual Brown, Slate Grey, Driftwood and Black, it can be used
alone or in combination with Roof-Fast™ Base.
