IKO Launches EdgeSeal, an Innovative Performance Roof Starter Roll
KANKAKEE, Ill. — IKO has introduced EdgeSeal, a double-sided, self-sealing adhesive starter roll designed to bond shingles to the roof deck at the roof's most vulnerable area — its perimeter. IKO's EdgeSeal serves as an upgrade option for contractors, providing a higher-quality installation as well as the critical protection required to keep a roof secure during extreme weather events.
"Across North America, strong wind storms are becoming increasingly common, often inflicting the most severe damage on roof rake edges," said Mark Okland, product development manager, North America. "IKO created EdgeSeal in response to the need for better-performing roof systems. We are proud to introduce a product that will provide homeowners added peace of mind when it comes to preventing blow-offs from high winds and helping ensure that the perimeter of the home's roof is secure."
