Roofing, waterproofing and insulation manufacturer IKO announced last week the release of its newly revamped Roof-Fast Cap and Base for the U.S. and Canadian markets. 

The low-slope roofing components have been redesigned with direct feedback from IKO’s valued customers, the company said in an August 2 news release. 

“At IKO, we are committed to delivering products that truly meet the needs of our diverse customer base,” said Vince Carrier, residential product development manager at IKO North America. 

“The improvements made to Roof-Fast Cap and Base reflect our dedication to innovation, product quality and the installer’s valued input,” Carrier added. “By incorporating feedback and expanding our product’s accessibility with multilingual support, we aim to provide a solution that resonates with … commercial applications across North America.” 

IKO said that by integrating user preferences, Roof-Fast Cap and Base now come in full squares instead of short square rolls, aligning with how roofers measure and estimate materials for easier calculations and application. 

Additionally, the product now comes wrapped in a band instead of a box or bag, reducing packaging waste and simplifying handling. Moreover, to further accommodate IKO’s customer base, Roof-Fast Cap and Base now include multilingual instructions in six languages: English, French, Spanish, Punjabi, Chinese (Simplified) and Polish. 

IKO Roof-Fast Base is constructed of a reinforcing mat of nonwoven glass fibers coated and permeated with polymer-modified asphalt.  It’s a self-adhesive product that allows either a cold-applied self-adhered installation or an optional mechanical installation. 

IKO Roof-Fast Cap is a self-adhered, polymer-modified cap sheet constructed of a reinforcing mat of nonwoven glass fibers that have been coated and permeated before applying mineral surface. Available in a range of colors, including White, Dual Brown, Slate Grey, Driftwood and Black, it can be used alone or in combination with Roof-Fast Base.
