The Key to a High Level of Waterproofing

By Cass Jacoby.  

MFM’s ready-to-use Roof Deck Tape™ will take waterproofing your home to the next level.

Did you know there is a way to give your roof a little bit of extra waterproofing? Sealing the seams on a roof’s substrate boards can make all the difference when waterproofing your roof.  

While it might seem like an unnecessary extra step, sealing seams on the substrate board offers another level of protection against Mother Nature. Should the main roof fail, Roof Deck Tape will prevent water from entering the structure between the roof deck panels. This means that Roof Deck Tape can be the difference between a leaky roof or a dry home.  

Already, several building code agencies have implemented codes to seal these seams with a roof deck flashing tape because of how well it waterproofs.  

That is why you need MFM Building Products Roof Deck Tape, the ready-to-use product that will prevent water, air and moisture from slipping through the cracks. MFM Roof Deck Tape is an easy and economical adhesive that prevents water from leaking into the building. This tape self-seals around all roof fasteners, from nails to staples, maintaining a waterproof barrier. 

This 40-mil, self-adhering tape is composed of a non-slip film coated with an aggressive asphalt-based adhesive system that won't crack or dry out. Further, Roof Deck Tape sticks to plywood, OSB, foam board, metal and most other roof deck materials so you can assure a good seal on the seams regardless of material.  

With MFM Roof Deck Tape, it is easier than ever to get an extra layer of water protection for your home and a greater peace of mind that your roof will stay leak-free no matter what weather is thrown at it.
