About Polyanchor
Polyanchor®– Polyanchor is a premium, synthetic anchor membrane developed for both light commercial and residential use. Balancing strength and weight, Polyanchor is specially designed to be used as an anchor sheet in low slope applications under Polyglass self-adhered membranes.
Woven of heavy-weight polymer fabric, Polyanchor offers superior durability, skid resistance, and a wrinkle-free surface resistant to UV breakdown. Polyanchor can serve as a suitable anchor sheet for a variety of substrates.
The Polyanchor line includes:
- Polyanchor®HV – Polyanchor HV is a nailable anchor sheet specially designed for the temporary protection of steep-slope roofs in areas prone to high winds. Designed with Duofix™ Technology, Polyanchor HV uses a strong bituminous bonding surface combined with a special tear-resistant fiberglass mat to provide superior wind uplift resistance.
- Polyanchor®XFR – Polyanchor XFR is a fire-rated dual-purpose ember and water-resistant underlayment. Polyanchor XFR features a plastomeric-modified bitumen upper compound and a self-sealing SBS-modified compound on the bottom. Polyglass’ patented Burn-Shield Technology® provides superior ember resistance. Polyanchor XFR features a slip-resistant embedded mineral aggregate walking surface which contributes to the overall ember resistance of the membrane.
- Polyanchor® SU – Polyanchor SU is a lightweight, nailable synthetic roof underlayment designed to protect the roof deck. Polyanchor SU is stronger than traditional felts for improved wind resistance, durability through heavy foot traffic and adverse weather conditions.
