Clamp is nonpenetrating
S-5! has introduced the S-5-TH™ clamp for attaching a range of rooftop accessories to T-shaped metal roof profiles.
Designed specifically for solar PV and lighter-duty attachments, the clamp is nonpenetrating, clipping over a roof’s rib and allowing for thermal cycling of roof panels.
Base sheet is tear-resistant
Tarco has released the LeakBarrier® EasyLay® HS Base, a base sheet engineered for multi-ply systems and optimized for steep-slope, high-wind installations. The base sheet features a composite polymeric fabric/scrim structure combined with a modified bituminous compound, reportedly offering tear strength, walkability and nail pull-through resistance.
Ideal for steep-slope installations using metal, shingles or tile, the base sheet is compatible with self-adhering systems and has a 30-mil nominal thickness.
TPO membrane keeps seams clean
MuleHide has added TPO with Seam Protector to its offering of TPO roof membranes.
Available in 60- and 80-mil thicknesses, the polyester-reinforced standard TPO membrane has a factory-applied film on the top and bottom lap areas. The film reportedly shields the seam areas from dirt, debris and bonding adhesive overspray, keeping the membrane clean during installation.
TPO with Seam Protector can be used in fully adhered, induction-welded and mechanically attached applications and as flexible membrane flashings for walls, curbs and other details. It is available in white, gray and tan. Rolls are 100 feet long and available in 10- and 12-foot widths.
Ridge vent protects against elements
Owens Corning has made available the VentSure® RidgeProwler™ 30, a rolled ridge vent designed to perform across all seasons.
The vent features curved external baffles that reportedly keep the elements out while supporting optimal airflow through the attic. Baffles are paired with flat side vents to safeguard against debris infiltration. The vent’s built-in end plugs and cut lines every 6 inches support precise installations with low waste.
The VentSure RidgeProwler 30 also has a narrow product footprint to contribute to a sleek, unobtrusive roofline.
Online platform is available
Hover has launched its visual platform designed to unify the full renovation workflow by bringing marketing, design, measurements and estimates into one end-to-end system.
The new platform features new estimating and proposal tools that let contractors build complete job estimates directly within Hover; upgraded two- and three-dimensional design tools with a unified material library, improved facet selection and direct 2D to 3D design transfer; and modernized proposals with visuals, homeowner-ready options and e-signature support.
Shingle color line is expanded
GAF has added a Bold Definition color collection to its line of GAF Timberline HDZ® Shingles. The four new colors are Chestnut Valley, Cliffside, Midnight Mesa and Sierra Sand.
