Water penetration around screw holes is a common source of roof leaks. The integrated EPDM washer on each screw forms a tight seal that blocks water from seeping through. EPDM rubber is highly resistant to UV rays, ozone, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, providing reliable protection in any climate. Screws are constantly exposed to moisture, rain, and environmental pollutants, which can cause rust over time.
