Atlanta, GA -- Atlas Roofing Corporation has unveiled WeatherMaster® Film SE, a new high-temperature underlayment that is especially suited for metal roof applications. Maximum protection is achieved without compromising an architectural look and can be used in new construction or reroofing. This new underlayment gives continuous protection, year after year, to the entire deck of a properly ventilated roof, and problem areas where water can collect or drainage is slow. It is ideal for critical transition areas where the roofline elevation changes, such as from a main roofline to a patio. Because WeatherMaster Film SE is highly flexible, it is easy to install in transition areas. It also provides a secondary layer of waterproofing to prevent damage from windblown rain and meets the ASTM D1970 standard for ice dam underlayment. This SBS modified, self-adhesive membrane underlayment creates a watertight barrier as it seals to the deck and also around nails. WeatherMaster Film SE has a silicone-treated, split-back, release film that was created for easier installation and handling. Its textured film surface offers better traction and skid resistance during installation. This unique self-adhesive underlayment can be applied under normal, dry conditions of 45°F or warmer. No bonding agent, applied heat, or special equipment is needed in the installation process. Atlas offers homeowners increased coverage of their Premium Protection Period on any Atlas Signature Select® Roofing System. WeatherMaster Film SE is a qualified component for use in the Atlas Signature Select Roofing System when used in combination with other qualifying Atlas products.
