Carlisle Residential's WIP 300HT Underlayment Offers Superior Protection for Metal Roofs, Qualifying for 2009 Tax Incentives

Carlisle, Pa. - Carlisle Residential, a leading manufacturer of residential roofing and waterproofing products, offers Water and Ice Protection (WIP) 300HT, a self-adhering underlayment developed specifically for use under metal roofing systems. Metal roofs are now approved for homeowner tax credits in the 2009 tax incentive program.

The revamped tax incentive program benefits homeowners who choose to install metal roofs on their homes this year, adding an additional 30% tax credit for material costs up to $1,500 on roof systems that are ENERGY STAR qualified.  Carlisle Residential provides an ideal waterproofing underlayment option for these homeowners with WIP 300HT, a 40-mil, high-tensile-strength, underlayment designed to withstand temperatures up to 240 F.  Comprised of rubberized asphalt laminated to an impermeable polyethylene film layer, WIP 300HT provides exceptional durability and long-term performance for virtually any metal roofing application and is safer than ever with a new skid-resistant diamond surface pattern.

Unlike many similar waterproofing products, WIP 300HT will not crack, dry out, or become brittle, providing excellent protection against the most severe weather conditions and reducing the overall lifecycle costs of the roof system.  Because it is self adhering, WIP 300HT can be installed directly to plywood without the need for additional primers, adhesives or fasteners nails and will seal around any staples, screws or clips that may puncture it, maintaining its integrity during installation and throughout its service life.  Along with the government tax incentive, WIP 300HT can provide significant, long-term cost savings for any homeowner.
