The warranty covers repair or replacement of the system for 20 years or the lifetime of the roof on which it was originally installed, whichever comes first.
Airflow Guarantees required intake airflow at the eave to help prevent heat buildup and moisture accumulation under the roof covering, thereby increasing the life of the roof. It is perfect for roof deck systems in designs with or without soffits and is engineered to work with all vented nailbase products.

Alternative materials, such as cedar exterior laminates can be used in lieu of metal. This provides for maximum flexibility ensuring the product is a perfect aesthetic fit.
