Flip the board, control the cure

By Hunter Panels.

Roofers finally get to call the shots on adhesive flash-off times.

Roofers have long worked against the clock, not with it — especially when the weather refused to play nice with adhesive flash-off times. Now, that outdated trade-off is gone. ReadyFlash from Hunter Panels puts timing back in the hands of the installer with a smart, no-fuss solution: one board, two options. Flip to the dark side for faster cure times or keep it light when you need more working time. It’s control without complexity, built into every H-Shield, H-Shield CG and H-Shield HD panel, no extra steps required.

Gone are the days of rigid adhesive drying times, as ReadyFlash lets roofers tailor their approach based on ambient conditions and time constraints. Need a quicker flash-off in cooler temperatures? Opt for the dark side of the board. Seeking a longer flash-off period? Choose the light side. To ensure a long-lasting roof, it’s crucial to avoid membrane attachment problems. Keeping the same facer side consistent through each stage of the roof installation helps prevent adhesion issues caused by uneven flash-off times due to varying temperatures. With ReadyFlash, flexibility and precision are in your hands, leading to enhanced efficiency and superior roofing outcomes.

Say farewell to wasted time. Step into the future of roofing with Hunter Panels and ReadyFlash technology!
