IKO unveils revamped Roof-Fast Cap and Base: a customer-driven solution for low-slope roofing

IKO, a roofing, waterproofing and insulation shingle manufacture for residential and commercial markets, has released a newly revamped Roof-Fast Cap and Base for the U.S. and Canadian markets. The Low-Slope Roofing Components have been redesigned with direct feedback from IKO’s valued customers.

“At IKO, we are committed to delivering products that truly meet the needs of our diverse customer base,” said Vince Carrier, residential product development manager at IKO North America.

Integrating user preferences, Roof-Fast Cap and Base now come in full squares instead of short square rolls, aligning with how roofers measure and estimate materials for easier calculations and application. Additionally, the product now comes wrapped in a band instead of a box or bag, reducing packaging waste and simplifying handling. To further cater to IKO’s diverse customer base, Roof-Fast Cap and Base now include multilingual instructions in six languages — English, French, Spanish, Punjabi, Chinese and Polish. This ensures that users receive clear and easily comprehensible instructions in the language they are most comfortable with.

Low-slope roofs present unique challenges, but IKO Roof-Fast Low-Slope Roofing Components are engineered to address these effectively. When paired together, Roof-Fast Cap and Base create a robust, multilayer roofing system that helps ensure optimal leak protection and durability. This makes them an excellent choice for both new constructions and renovations of low-slope roofs, especially in climates prone to prolonged, wind-driven rain or ice dams. Ideal for both residential and commercial applications, Roof-Fast provides the reliability needed to handle various roofing conditions.
