- on March 14, 2023
The temperature in Ontario has extreme variations through the seasons. “We can get extreme cold, down to -30°F in mid-winter, up to a very humid 95°F in summer,” said Boone, “so the butyl rubber on RT-MINI makes it a great choice for us. With RT-MINI, our installers never have to mess around with a caulking gun up on the roof to seal mounting hardware, they simply attach RT-MINI and the seal is secure.” He added, “I can’t imagine ever going back to the old way. RT-MINI II is our go-to mounting product now.”

Roof Tech Earns Loyalty and Friendship from Voltaic Solaire
- on May 17, 2022
In 2017, Cesar Cruz, Director and Principal of Voltaic Solaire was searching for a way to install solar panels on a home where the roof had double shingles. “We knew we couldn’t use regular flashing on that project because it would entail lifting up the shingles,” he said. “We heard that CED Greentech in New Jersey was the only nearby source for Roof Tech products, so we decided to order a few.” After trying out RT-MINI, Cruz immediately realized that his installers would never again have to lift another shingle. Since then, Voltaic Solaire has used RT-MINI exclusively on more than 400 residential installations.

Freezing Winter Weather is No Match for Roof Tech AlphaSeal™ Technology
- on November 09, 2021
What installers need to know about the impact of Ice dams and how to protect the roof. Because roofing is always exposed to the elements, winter weather varies with heating and cooling cycles that cause snow and ice to melt on sunny days and re-freeze at night, creating ice dams on the eaves and in roof “valleys”. Mike Dunlap explained that building codes require roofers to install a special ice and water shield in these areas to protect against ice dams.
