The volume workhorse — 12 months UV exposure with the standard 48" × 250' roll format (1,000 sq ft).

RL-250

Heavy-duty grade at Type III, supplied on 48" × 250' rolls (1,000 sq ft) for demanding decks and long exposure.

Installation

Handling notes

  • Install over a clean, dry deck and follow the roof system manufacturer's instructions and local building code.
  • Fasten with cap nails or staples as specified by the roof system; keep the anti-skid surface facing up.
  • Lap and seal per the roof system requirements, and avoid leaving the membrane exposed beyond its UV rating.

Always follow the roof or wall system manufacturer's instructions and the applicable local building code.

What is the lead time?
