Raise the Roof in a Hurry Innovative Roofing Underlayment
Westlake Royal Building Products’ new SwiftGuard synthetic roofing underlayment is easily installed for steel, tile, shingle and shake roofing. Ideal for use in steep slope installations, the underlayment benefits from an innovative nail gasketing technology, which helps ensure roofing systems better withstand the elements in all climates and seasons. It has a high-grip backing and a non-woven thermally-embossed fiber face for increased deck grab and superior walkability. The 10-square (1,000-ft.) rolls weigh just 35.5 lbs. each.
Simpson Strong-Tie’s Quik Stik roof and truss fastening system is designed specifically for use with the Strong-Drive SDWC Truss screw in rafter and truss connections. The installation tool has a 43” reach and can eliminate the need for ladders, heavy pneumatic power nailers, and compressor lines. n STRONGTIE.COM (800) 999-5099

This ensures the resilient, color-enriched composite will withstand the elements, providing a natural aesthetic that doesn’t require staining or painting. It’s the only cladding-approved deck board rated for use in the ground, on the ground, or underwater. The Meridian line’s TruTexture Surface features reduced pattern repetition and a true wood-grain finish in Citadel, Shoreside and Mariner.
