Elevate your metal roofing installations with WaterGuard™ SA MetalGuard Trax, distributed nationwide by A1A Wholesale Supply. Metal roof assemblies can reach blistering temperatures that cause standard asphalt underlayments to degrade or “weep.” MetalGuard Trax is formulated with a specialized high-temperature SBS bituminous compound that remains stable and adhesive at up to 265°F, ensuring the building envelope remains secure for the life of the roof.

Designed with the contractor in mind, this underlayment features a unique tri-laminate hybrid synthetic top surface. This “Trax” surface provides superior slip resistance, allowing for safer movement and foot traffic during installation, even on steep slopes. Its 60-mil thickness offers rugged puncture resistance, while the split-release poly liner allows for a fast, accurate “peel-and-stick” application that bonds instantly to the roof deck and to itself at overlaps.
