Experience the BuckleDown Roofing Cleat
BuckleDown is a retrofit roofing cleat designed to stabilize aging roof decks from the top side of the roof without blocking or sheathing replacement.
Plywood from the 1970’s to early 2000’s has been very susceptible to independent seam movement, especially without the use of “H” clips. BuckleDown shores up these problem seams and creates a flat and stable surface for the installation of new roofing materials.
Installation is
Simple by Design
That’s it.
✔ Faster installs on walkable roofs
✔ They easily fit in your tool pouch
✔ Safe, controlled installs on steeper pitches
✔ Minimal crew training
BuckleDown solves these roof decking issues with minimal tools
What you need:
✔ We use any standard circular saw to widen the seam spacing to accept the cleat
✔ An impact or standard drill with a #2 square drive
✔ 1 cleat and 2-3 screws per problem area
✔ Cleats are sold in job packs of 20 with included screws. We’ve found the average house that needs them uses 20-25 BuckleDown cleats
“It’s automatic - when the paper is torn off we all grab a handful of screws and cleats and start repairing.”
