BlueLinx Tough-Guard

BlueLinx Tough-Guard Water and Ice Protection Roofing Underlayment is a rubberized asphalt underlayment that is both flexible and self-adhering, creating maximum protection from moisture, air, and water seepage for your roof structure. Tough-Guard is a better alternative to traditional roofing felts for both residential and commercial projects because it is lightweight, requires less handling, and will not rot or crack over time. Tough-Guard is very versatile and works with all types of shingles, including traditional, tile, slate, metal, and other composite materials.

Ridge Vent 

 Ridge Vent is meant to couple soffit ventilation with ridge ventilation in order to produce a pathway for continuous airflow along the underside of the roof deck. It allows hot air to naturally rise out of the vent while pulling in cool air from below. This allows for your attic to be vented by a constant flow of cooler, outside air. Benjamin Obdyke provides four different kinds of very effective Ridge Vent:

Rapid Ridge®

Rapid Ridge s a nail gun-able ridge vent which offers the market’s quickest installation while also providing a superior weather and insect infiltration protection. Rapid Ridge is available in three different sizes—Rapid Ridge Standard, Rapid Ridge 7, and Rapid Ridge Metric

Roll Vent®

Roll Vent is perfect for residential roofs that need protection from excess heat and moisture build up that cause deterioration. It comes in two sizes—Roll Vent Standard and Roll Vent Metric.

Xtractor Vent®

This is Benjamin Obdyke’s externally baffled, shingle over ridge vent that is made to extract heat and moisture out of your attic. It is available in four versions, and can come with or without nails

Underlayments

Underlayments are important roofing accessories that protect the lifespan of your roof by controlling moisture. Benjamin Obdyke has a line of efficient and cost-effective underlayment for wood roofs:

Cedar Breather®

Protects the lifespan of wood roofing by creating an area for continuous airflow vetween the solid part of the roof deck and the shingles or shakes. It prevents thermal cupping and warping, as well as rotting, and is also fire-resistant and is a great solution for metal roofing applications as well

Wall Products

Home Slicker®

Home Slicker products extend the service life of the wall components by creating the necessary air space in a rainscreen wall assembly that drains wind-driven rain and ventialtes to remove moisture from behind the cladding.  This product has been specifically designed to be used with manufactured stone, natural stone, stucco, and masonry applications.

Generic Roofing Felt

Roofing felt is the most commonly used form of roofing underlayment and is important in any project in order to prevent the access of moisture into the sheathing and roof structure.  Roofing felt is available in a selection of materials that adhere to specific roofing shapes.  There are many new features available in felts due to advances in technology, for example a “breathable” feature that minimizes condensation levels in roof spaces by combining the passing of moisture with ventilation.  Roofing felt is made of a fiberglass or polyester fleece, but additional minerals can be added in order to provide protection against atmospheric conditions.

Generic Roof Flashing

Roof flashing is the perfect solution for those certain areas where you may need extra protection against leaks and water damage.  Most commonly used in valleys, chimneys, eaves, lakes, skylights, rides, and intersections between the roof and the wall, roof flashing can be formed and soldered into many various shapes in order to fit the area where you need it.  Roof flashing can be made from plastic, roofing felt, or rubber, but is usually from a rust-resistant metal, most commonly galvanized sheet metal.  Do-it-yourselfers may turn to aluminum flashing because it is easier to bend.  BlueLinx can provide you with any type of flashing that best suits your project and your specific needs.
