IMETCO Introduces IntelliWrap™ PR Roofing Underlayment

Norcross, GA - IMETCO (Innovative Metals Company, Inc.) recently introduced IntelliWrap™ PR permeable, self-adhering roofing underlayment to provide a water- and air-tight vapor-permeable barrier for a variety of roofing systems, including but not limited to standing seam metal, slate tile, clay tile, and cedar shingle roofs. Designed for steep slopes (2:12 or more), IntelliWrap underlayment can also be used with lower slope roofs. 

Vapor permeability expedites the drying of building materials, significantly reducing the risk of moisture infiltration. In addition, IntelliWrap PR underlayment meets ASTM E2178 air-barrier resistance and is formulated to withstand temperatures as high as 250°F. It is compatible with a wide range of substrates, including fiberglass-reinforced gypsum sheathing board, rigid insulation, concrete, plywood, steel, galvanized metal, aluminum, and OSB.

Jonnie Hasan, P.E., IMETCO’s director of engineering and sales support, reports, “With its slip-resistant, UV-stable surface, the new IntelliWrap underlayment facilitates safe installation while offering a vapor-permeable barrier that allows the roof assembly to breath. It bonds fully without the use of primers, and is simple to install with no special tool requirements.”
