Brand Launch

We’ve had this in the works for a while and we thought it was time for a change – a good change. A change that signals relativity, understanding and longevity  – a sign to show that we are not going anywhere. 

Today we launch our new logo. Our old logo served us well, helping to depict our main lines of product. As the needs of our customers change, we know that we too, have to change. We started off supplying shingles back in 1957. As we then expanded our supply to siding, we also added this word to our logo.

Now, as we continue to provide our customers with what they need in their ever growing businesses, we come to you, in roofing and siding in the residential and commercial space alike, as Your Exterior Building Supplier.

Thus our new logo.

Roofmart Logo - Exterior Building Supplies

New Roofmart logoNew Roof Centre logo

Showcasing a simpler yet stronger iconic logo and expanding on the quality products we’re able to supply, this new logo signifies our place in the Exterior Building Supply industry.

The same great service and quality products remain true. That will never change.

We are #YourRoofmart.

IKO Roof-Fast Low Slope System

Low-slope roofs present special challenges in terms of preventing unique types of damage.

IKO Roof-Fast low-slope roofing components are engineered and manufactured to meet those particular challenges.

What exactly is a “low-slope” roof? Most local building codes consider a roof to be low-slope when its pitch ranges from 4/12 and below, down to and including 2/12. Asphalt shingles, with certain application adjustments, can generally be installed down to slopes of 2:12. But for those lower slopes (from 2:12 down to 1/2:12) you’ll want a membrane system like Roof-Fast.

The important thing for homeowners to understand is that a low-slope roof can’t shed water as quickly as a steeper one can, so there’s a greater chance of water leaking through the roof during periods of prolonged, wind-driven rain. Also, in cold climates, water can back up and leak through shingled roofs if ice dams form at the eave.

To help protect homeowners against the potential water damage that low-slope roofs are susceptible to, most municipal authorities have amended local building codes to address the need for improved water-shedding performance. IKO Roof-Fast Cap is engineered to meet or exceed these critical building code specifications.

IKO Roof-Fast Cap, when used with IKO Roof-Fast Base MA, is an ideal solution for new or renovated structures with a low-slope roof. It creates a multilayer roofing system that provides an optimal level of protection against leaks.

Roof-Fast 95 Base

IKO Roof-Fast 95 Base is a self-adhesive product that can easily be cold-applied on low-slope roofs. It’s constructed of a durable, reinforcing mat of non-woven glass fibers that have been coated and permeated to a thickness of approximately 2.0 mm. The back surfacing is a silicone treated film, which is easily removed. The back surface of the sheet is self-adhesive modified bitumen, which is protected by a silicone treated film. During installation, the silicone sheet is easily removed and the base sheet adheres to the roof deck.

Standards:
ASTM D6163 TYPE I

Specifications:
Size: 15 m x 1 m (49′ x 3.3′)
Coverage Per Package: 15 m² (161.5 sq. ft.)

Roof-Fast MA

IKO Roof-Fast Base MA is a fiberglass-reinforced, nailable base with a special film surface designed to be used as one of IKO’s Roof-Fast Low-slope Roofing Components. In combination with IKO Roof-Fast Cap sheets, it provides waterproofing properties and durability for low-slope roofs. The surface is covered with a thin poly-film, while the underside is sanded to prevent sticking in the roll. Roof-Fast Base MA can only be used as the base sheet in a Roof-Fast system.

Specifications:
Size: 15 m x 1 m (49′ x 3.28′)
Coverage Per Package: 15 m² (161.5 sq. ft.)
[/two_third_last]

Roof-Fast Cap

IKO Roof-Fast Cap sheets are ideal for any new or re-roofing low-slope residential project. These self-adhesive sheets have a special release film on the back for easy installation. They can be used alone or in combination with Roof-Fast Base sheets. Their attractive, durable, granule finish comes in a variety of colours to match a home’s distinctive design needs. IKO Roof-Fast Cap is a reinforced, self-adhering membrane (SAM) that has a release film on its reverse. This roofing product works great on its own or when used along with IKO Roof-Fast Base MA for any low-slope residential roofing system.

Specifications:
Size: 7 m x 1 m (23′ x 3.3′)
Coverage Per Package: 7 m² (75.5 sq. ft.)

How to calculate ventilation using Duraflo Vents

How much ventilation will you need for your space?

According to the National Building Code, a minimum of 1 sq. ft. of ventilation for every 300 sq. ft. of attic space is required. On low slope applications, double the ventilation is needed: 1 sq. ft. for every 150 sq. ft. of attic space. This calculation includes both the intake and exhaust. Most vent manufacturers recommend a balanced system with half the air coming in through the soffits and half going out through the exhaust.

So how do you know how to get the perfect number of vents to have a home breathing right? Well, sometimes less is more, which is why we don’t recommend putting 11 roof vents on a single gable-style home… And we don’t recommend mixing your ventilation. Choosing a single type of ventilation makes it much easier to ensure that your soffits are breathing air into your home, and your roof vents are breathing this air out.

Here’s our four step process:

  1. Calculate the square footage of your attic space. To do this, measure the length and width of your home.
  • For example: Width: 50 ft, Length: 40 ft (50ft x 40 ft = 2000 sq. ft.)
  1. According to the National Building Code, you need 1 sq. ft. of ventilation for every 300 sq. ft. of attic space. Divide your square footage by 300 sq. ft. to find out how many vents you will need, then round up to make sure you’re getting enough ventilation.
  • For example: 2000 sq. ft./300 sq. ft.= 6.67
  1. Convert square feet of NFA to square inches by multiply square feet of NFA by 144 (6.67 sq. ft. x 144 = 960.48 square inches of NFA needed)
  2. To ensure your roof vents are drawing from your soffits, and not your other roof vents, we recommend that 50 percent of your ventilation should be covered by your soffits, and 50 percent should be covered by your roof vents (50/50). This means you should divide the number of vents by two. We need 10 vents for our 2000 sq. ft. application if you are choosing a 50 square inch roof vent.

PRO TIP

It’s important to note that if your roof pitch is under 4/12, you will have to double the amount of ventilation that you need.
