SOPREMA Inc.® has released its new SOPRA-XPS product line, a mix of extruded polystyrene thermal insulation panels, with applications in inverted roofing membrane assemblies (IRMA roofs), foundations, walls and civil engineering projects. Thanks to its dense closed-cell composition, SOPRA-XPS has a consistent long-term R-value (LTTR) of 5 per inch, even at low temperatures, and offers one of the greatest compressive strengths in the insulation market, making it efficient, versatile and even more eco-friendly. The line has even earned the coveted GREENGUARD Gold certification, which incorporates stringent selection criteria and the most demanding safety factors for volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.

In response to contractor demand for a high-performance, budget-friendly underlayment, CertainTeed® has developed DryRoof™ SA. The underlayment is specifically designed to withstand high levels of moisture while providing contractors with ease of installation and the ability to offer manufacturer-backed extended roof system warranties. DryRoof SA is specifically engineered for use as a wind-driven rain guard along eves, roof penetrations and valleys. It is UV-exposure resistant for six months, adheres well to most surfaces, offers excellent elasticity and has a slip-resistant sand surface to reduce the risk of falls.  To learn more, visit certainteed.com/residential-roofing/products/dryroof-sa-waterproofing-underlayment/.

Duro-Last Inc. introduced the industry’s first custom-cut roll good membrane solution, Duro-Last X.

ProVia announces the launch of the company’s new metal roofing product line, which combines the luxury and beauty of slate or cedar shakes with the durability and longevity of a galvanized, highly-engineered steel roof system. Using 26 gauge (G90) hot-dipped galvanized steel, ProVia’s metal panels are 10% thicker than the industry average (28-30 gauge), while weighing up to three times less than asphalt shingles. It is third-party tested to meet or exceed stringent ASTM and UL industry standards for tensile strength and resistance to wind, impact, wind-driven rain and corrosion.

S-5! introduces the newest addition to its line of RibBrackets for mounting solar panels to a variety of trapezoidal rib metal roofs. The RibBracket V is a sheeting-only solar attachment that can be placed anywhere along the roof’s ribs and is designed specifically for Ternium TR 72, TR 101 (R-72 and R-101) and similar roof profiles commonly found in North and Latin America.  With flex-to-fit legs, the design of the bracket ensures proper fit and places the fasteners in shear rather than pull-out, providing a substantially stronger attachment. Its elevated profile provides 4 inches (100 millimeters) of air space above the rib to maximize air flow under the solar panels and a large channel for wire management.
