The Basics of Roofing Cap Sheeting

The primary reason a building needs a roofing sheet is to protect its asphalt from the sunlight. Exposed asphalt can crack and break easily from constant sunlight. If the cap sheet isn't installed correctly, water could penetrate it and cause structural damage. Cap sheets protect asphalt from the sun. They can be used as an added ply to help asphalt retain its flexibility.

Cap sheets are not simply placed on top or under traditional roofing materials. They are fused to the roof to improve its durability and prevent water from entering, which increases the roof's lifespan. Extra material is often added between layers to form a strong bond. Heat welding can be used in some cases to bond the cap sheet to the roofing system. This makes the entire process much faster and easier.

There are many different types of roofing caps sheets. Some are suitable for retrofit while others are designed for new construction. Some include light-colored mineral surfaces, which create a white roofing. This type is reflective of sunlight, and helps to keep buildings cooler. These products can be used with many different roof types. It is a smart investment to choose the right product for your building's climate and design.


Roofing cap sheets are made of several layers of material glued together with hot asphalt. They are low-maintenance and have a mineral surface. They can be more durable than other materials and last for many years, even though they are cheaper than others. These materials are coated with a light-colored mineral surface that reflects heat and reduces urban heat island effects. These materials are made of natural rubber or other rubber derivatives that add flexibility and cushion the impact of hail.

For low-sloped roofs, roofing cap sheets are useful. They protect buildings and are cheaper than other roofing materials. They are made up of many layers of roofing feel and are commonly called "90lb" in their weight. If a building is constructed with BUR, the cap sheets is the topmost layer. The cap sheet is the roof's top layer and protects other layers.
