Abstract
Metal roof leaks cause damage to insulation and energy loss, structural damage that deteriorates supporting beams and damage to building contents. The major cause of metal roof leaks is fastener movement. The Kwik-Kap is an aluminum faced conforming disc with a heavy modified asphalt base. This proven material has survived more than 100,000 cycles with no signs of cracking or other failure.
