SlopeShield Plus Self-Adhered works with your schedule

This air barrier and permeable vapor retarder offers temporary weather protection for roof decks, giving your project timeline more flexibility. 

The unpredictability of weather is one of the biggest challenges of working in the roofing industry. Traditionally, if your roofing layers get wet during the installation, moisture will gather and may damage the roof deck or other components. But VaproShield's SlopeShield Plus Self-Adhered (SlopeShield Plus SA) can help contractors escape the tight confines of traditional, weather-dependent scheduling. 

This product has been installed on over one million square feet of roofing across the United States and is fully self-adhered, slip-resistant and durable. It comes with a twenty year material warranty and six months of UV climate protection. Further, this air barrier and permeable vapor retarder can be applied on a variety of materials, such as mass timber, concrete and more, in a variety of scenarios, including new construction, reroofing projects and roof recovery. These are all incredible benefits, but what helps SlopeShield Plus SA stand out from the crowd is its moisture protection capabilities, both during construction and in the long-term lifespan of the building. 

SlopeShield Plus SA with Self-Drying Technology has been proven to allow wood and concrete roof decks to dry out after the installation of the permeable vapor retarder. On one project, SlopeShield Plus SA was applied over a mass timber deck that measured over 600,000 square feet where it performed as temporary weather protection. It can stand up to ponding water and its durable surface can withstand heavy foot traffic and construction machinery. In one example, SlopeShield Plus SA was applied on a damp plywood roof deck and, in the following 45 days, allowed the roof deck to dry out. This incredible drying capacity helps you keep projects on track as it protects your roof deck from potential rain damage prior to the roofing project’s completion.
