IMETCO recently announced the release of the IntelliWrap PR self-adhering roofing underlayment, which provides a water- and air-tight, vapor-permeable seal for roofing systems. The product was designed for steep slopes (2:12 or more) of standing seam metal, clay tile, slate tile, cedar shingle roofs, and more. The vapor permeability allows building materials to dry more quickly, reducing the odds of moisture infiltration and damage, according to a news release.

The IntelliWrap PR underlayment can withstand temperatures of up to 250°F and meets ASTM E2178 air-barrier resistance. It’s compatible with substrates including fiberglass-reinforced gypsum sheathing board, rigid insulation, plywood, steel, aluminum, galvanized metal, and OSB, the news release reports.

 “With its slip-resistant, UV-stable surface, the new IntelliWrap underlayment facilitates safe installation while offering a vapor-permeable barrier that allows the roof assembly to breathe,” said Jonnie Hasan, P.E., IMETCO director of engineering and sales support. “It bonds fully without the use of primers and is simple to install with no special tool requirements.”
