Protection of your home and who it contains is a priority for every homeowner. Kassel & Irons Universal and ClickLock standing seam style roofing does a great job of doing just that. However, we recommend additional protection for the base for your new roof.

Building science proves the value of proper ventilation for moisture control and creating healthier, mold-resistant homes. Standing seam roofs inherently pass gained heat through to the roof deck and structure. 

A proper standing seam underlayment system is needed to address these crucial issues.
