OPUS® ROOF BLANKET - A NEW CATEGORY IN PEFORMANCE FOR METAL ROOFING UNDERLAYMENT
Opus® Roof Blanket is a new category of roofing underlayment that performs far beyond felt paper or plastic sheeting underlayment for all types of roofing – including metal roofing. Its revolutionary Blanket Technology™ provides the roof with a second layer of protection against moisture, leaks, wind, UV rays and damaging heat buildup.
Metal roofing applications require a higher set of performance criteria from a roofing underlayment - a clean, highly engineered surface that will not stick to the metal roof system, increased UV stability and moisture resistance. Metal roof systems call for an extremely durable underlayment solution in high heat environments that will not tear or rip away from fasteners. OpusTM Roof Blanket has performance attributes that make it a perfect solution to the entire gamut of metal roofing products, including coated metal tiles, copper, zinc, stainless steel and aluminum roofing.
- UV stability – Opus Roof Blanket's proprietary formulation provides the most effective performance in UV protection for up to 30 months uncovered and serves as the roofing system's secondary layer of defense in severe conditions.
- Walking Traction – Opus Roof Blanket offers the safest walking traction in all four walking directions – both wet and dry.
- Tear-free guarantee - Opus Roof Blanket will not tear during normal use, even in coastal and high wind zones.
- Durability – It's tough, durable Blanket Technology™ prevents Opus Roof Blanket from ripping or tearing away from fasteners as tested per ASTM D3462, Fastener Pull Through Test.
- Dimensional Stability – In high heat environments, most plastic sheeting underlayments can shrink causing them to pull away from fasteners. Opus Roof Blanket's dimensional stability ensures it will not pull away from fasteners and maintains the secondary layer of protection on the roof deck to guard against moisture infiltration, leaks, UV degradation and heat buildup.
- 30/30 warranty – Opus Roof Blanket warranty protects the roof deck up to 30 months uncovered and a full 30 years after it is covered. It is unmatched in the industry as other underlayment products only offer up to 6 months warranty uncovered.
- Cost and labor savings – Opus Roof Blanket eliminates the need for a protective slip sheet that may be used in applications with felt paper or asphalt based products to prevent the metal from sticking to the underlayment.
- Code Compliant – Opus Roof Blanket was issued ICC ESR-3041and is in compliant with Miami Dade NOA criteria.
Kim Willard, owner of Economy Roofing, a commercial metal roofing business in New Britain, PA recently used Opus Roof Blanket for a metal roof on his own 10,000 sq. ft metal shop.
When he left Opus exposed to go to another job, an unexpected storm came through, with 70 mph winds and heavy rains.
"It ripped the housewrap and ice and water shield to shreds, but the Opus was not damaged at all."
He credits Opus with saving his building and now uses it on a regular basis for metal roofing
