RKW presents products for the construction industry

Frankenthal, 1 August 2008 – The RKW-Group will be presenting products for covering roofs for the North American market during this year’s Metalcon, which will be held from 1 to 3 October 2008 in Baltimore.

ROOFTOPGUARD II – Synthetic roof underlayments

The company is focusing here on multilayer roof underlayments with an anti-slip surface. The product, which is sold under the trade name Rooftopguard II, has been successfully used for many years on numerous construction projects in the USA. Thanks to the exclusive Fiber-Grip® surface, these roof underlayments can be processed roughly 30 per cent more quickly than similar products offered by the competition.

Rooftopguard II products, on which RKW grants a guarantee which is limited to 25 years, are completely waterproof, extremely weather-resistant and are even hurricane-proof. In addition, the material is resistant to insects, pests, rotting and mould. The underlayments, which are supplied in the form of a roll, are easy to handle thanks to their low weight and can be stored out in the open for up to six months.
