In the construction industry, selecting the appropriate underlayment is crucial for achieving a seamless transition between the flooring surface and the underlying subfloor. With a wide variety of options available - including cork, felt, foam, and rubber - professionals must apply their expertise to make the best choice for each project.
An additional consideration is the potential for moisture intrusion. In such cases, incorporating a moisture barrier is essential for preserving the integrity of the flooring installation. Evaluating project budgets, understanding the specific flooring materials involved, and navigating the unique characteristics of each job are vital steps in this process. Let’s explore considerations for underlayment and how the SCRAIL® SUBLOC® PRO System by BECK will keep it secure for years to come.

Understanding the Basics of Subflooring
Subflooring is a crucial component of any flooring system, providing the support structure beneath your finished floor. It acts as a buffer between the floor covering and the joists, ensuring stability and durability. Understanding the basics of subflooring, including its purpose and types, is essential for a successful installation.
There are several types of subflooring materials, such as plywood, oriented strand board (OSB), and concrete. Each material has its own set of advantages and is suited for different applications. Knowing when and where to use these materials can significantly impact the overall quality of your flooring project. Regardless of the materials you use, using the correct fasteners, such as the SCRAIL® SUBLOC® PRO nail screw fasteners by BECK, will also have a high impact on the finished floor.

Exploring Durability and Longevity of Metal and Slate Roofs
When it comes to durability, both metal and slate roofs stand out as robust choices. Metal roofs are known for their resistance to harsh weather conditions, including high winds, hail, and heavy snowfall. They are also highly resistant to fire, making them a safe choice for many homeowners. On average, a metal roof can last between 40 to 70 years, depending on the specific material used and the quality of installation.
Slate roofs, on the other hand, are often heralded as the gold standard in roofing materials due to their incredible longevity. A well-maintained slate roof can last over a century, with some historical buildings bearing original slate roofs that are still intact. Slate is also highly resistant to fire and weather damage, making it a reliable option. However, natural stone material can be more susceptible to cracking under certain conditions, such as heavy impact.
To enhance your roofs durability and longevity, we suggest fastening your roofing with BECK’s SCRAIL® ROOFLOC® System or the FASCO® (a BECK brand) Slate Hook System.
