January 10, 2007—Alpha Pro Tech, a leading manufacturer of products designed to protect people, products and environments, has announced its roof underlayment product for the construction industry has received International Code Council (ICC-ES) approval.
The ICC governs the International Building Code (IBC) which oversees most building departments around the country. This approval significantly expands the opportunity for Alpha Pro Tech’s roof underlayment product as many construction supply companies require this certification to sell the product.
ICC-ES is a leader in evaluating building products for compliance with code. A nonprofit, public-benefit corporation, ICC-ES performs technical evaluations of building products, components, methods, and materials. The evaluation process culminates with the issuance of reports on code compliance, which are made available free of charge to code officials, contractors, specifiers, architects, engineers, and others with an interest in the building industry and construction.
“This approval is the final milestone required to clear the product for distribution throughout the construction industry,” commented Al Millar, President of Alpha Pro Tech.
