Weathertite Products
What are they and why do I need them?

Out of all the roofing materials available on the market, metal roofing is the only one that will increase the resale value of your home and save you money on your current energy bill.
A metal roof from 1st Coast Metal Roofing Supply is durable, great looking, and requires little maintenance. Panels are available in a wide variety of colors and profiles.

With a 1st Coast metal roof, you can be sure that you are getting a roof that will withstand the tests of time and weathers the Florida storms.
An important part of a roofing envelope is the components required to properly complete the envelope, we call these Items weather-tite products.
Wind-blown rain can travel up the roof system during times of high wind and storms causing even a properly designed roofing system of any material to potentially leak. On metal roofing we recommend using Weathertite products to assure the envelope is secure even in the most demanding situations. These products are designed specifically to prevent water from entering and causing any damage to the attic ventilation system for many years, while also preventing bugs or rodents from entering roofing enclosures. Keeping your attic ventilation system protected will help capitalize on the highest energy savings!

Weathertite Ridge Vents

 


Weathertite Ridge Vents have custom contours that fit any pitch, all major metal roof profiles, for either ridge cap application or roof-to-wall applications. LP2™ creates a low-profile look and a seal that helps keep out moisture. Highly recommended for any roofs 4/12 or less. Python™ is a single-layer, non-fabric-covered ridge vent re-cycled material made from silicone-coated fibers that prohibit clogging. This strong, durable, modified polyester allows the greatest air flow in and out of the attic. The special cut contours plus a 2″ Marco closure create an incredible WEATHER TITE™ seal to help keep out moisture, insects, dust, and plant materials. The contours give this system a WEATHER TITE™ fit, and to the roof a non-obtrusive appearance to the roof. Excellent air flow means your metal structure stays cool while the heat escapes and adds up to reduced utility costs. When properly installed with soffit or intake vents, LP2™ is building code compliant.

FlexPro (Profile Venting Material) is Marco’s newest innovation: a profile-cut stick or roll product designed to snugly fit most roof panel configurations.
