Duradek Ultra Legacy
This walkable vinyl membrane brings the look of finished wood to the roof or deck.

Barnwood creates a warm, retro look, while Driftwood appears more sun-bleached and weathered by the elements.
Tarco LeakBarrier UDL SA Underlayment
This peel-and-stick underlayment from Tarco sports three layers: The bottom layer is a modified bitumen compound that self-seals around nails and other fasteners; a split-back release film protects the bitumen until installation; and the top layer is synthetic, with high tensile and tear strengths and an anti-slip coat. Imprinted lay lines make for easier installation in shingles, shake, slate, tile, or metal roof applications. UDL SA is designed for steep roofs and can withstand temperatures up to 240º F.
