SlopeShield Plus Self-Adhered Vapor Permeable Air Barrier Roof Underlayment SlopeShield
VaproShield
07 50 00 Membrane Roofing
Designed for roof slopes of 2:12 and above, SlopeShield Plus SA represents an advancement in performance that combines exceptional water and air holdout capabilities as well as vapor permeability.
The SlopeShield Plus difference
SlopeShield Plus Self-Adhered’s high drying capacity and black colouration accelerates the drying process of the underlying materials. This combination helps to mitigate moisture damage—for the life of the building—which would otherwise be trapped by a traditional, non-permeable roofing underlayment.
SlopeShield Plus SA benefits are:
- walkability and excellent traction for installation crews;
- primerless application;
- exceptional water and air holdout;
- high drying capacity (vapour permeability, 30 perms);
- long exposure times: 180 days before final roofing material application; and
- suitable for all climates and geographic locations, including extreme temperature areas.
