Mule-Hide Poly ISO 1

Mule-Hide Products Co.

Mule-Hide Poly ISO 1 flat roofing insulation from Mule-Hide Products Co. now allows contractors to manage adhesive flash-off times with a simple choice of color. The product was recently updated to give the facer on each side of the board a different color. The light-colored side lowers the surface temperature by as much as 5 degrees Fahrenheit, slowing down flash-off and giving the crew more working time. The dark side increases the surface temperature by as much as 25 degrees Fahrenheit and accelerates flash-off by up to 30%, minimizing wait times and increasing crew efficiency.

CraftGrade Independence Underlayment

CraftGrade Independence Underlayment

Topshield

Topshield, a manufacturer of roofing and siding products, announced the launch of its CraftGrade Independence underlayment. The company said that it is designed to be “35 times stronger and eight times lighter than 30-pound felt.” CraftGrade, Topshield’s premium product line, added that the underlayment’s construction ensures durable weather and tear resistance, and an anti-slip coating with skid-resistant properties helps prevent slips and falls. The underlayment's lighter weight facilitates easy handling during installation, which is quick and efficient. It offers 17% more coverage per course than a standard 30-pound felt roll and is highly water-repellent, which reduces warping, wrinkling, and cracking in cold weather. The product is 100% inorganic and will not rot or mold, making it a “green” building product.
