How a roof is installed is just as important as what it is made of. Boral offers a full line of integrated roof components designed to deliver a higher standard of roof installation and performance.
While tile is ultimately the first line of defense against the elements on a roof installation, underlayments play a critical role by providing a secondary level of waterproofing protection directly on top of the wood roof deck. As a crucial barrier that contributes to the performance and longevity of the entire roof system, it is important to choose the right underlayment for your roof and your particular climate.

Battens are commonly used throughout much of the world to hang and fasten clay and concrete tiles to the roof deck. Boral Roofing offers high-performance battens and batten extenders to provide positive anchoring for each tile, while enhancing water flow off the roof for a longer lasting and better performing roof system. Boral Roofing's Elevated Batten System® are also energy efficient products providing ventilation to keep the roof cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Critical areas, such as intersections of different sloped roof decks at hips & valleys as well as junctions or penetrations such as walls, chimneys, skylights, vents and plumbing pipes, must be properly flashed to keep the system water tight. While many different materials are available, Boral Roofing has designed and developed several types of high-integrity flashing options to choose from for optimal performance and protection.

While most tile roofs use rake tiles to finish the rake and gable ends, Boral Roofing also offers an alternative look for traditional slate and shake style tile roofs. They also protect against weather, vermin and debris accumulation while integrating seamlessly with the overall appearance of the installation.

A poorly designed valley can quickly lead to significant damage. Boral Roofing developed the Ribbed Valley Metal and provides nothing less to insure a free-flowing valley that will protect the structural integrity of the roof valley. W-valley metals, designed for wood shakes and asphalt shingles do not prevent clogs and direct water into the roof system, which can damage the underlayment and cause the roof deck and underlying structure to rot.
