Miss a rafter? QuickBOLT debuts QuickPATCH to seal pesky roof holes

Solar mounting manufacturer QuickBOLT is launching a new product to address one of the most persistent challenges in rooftop solar — roof holes caused by missed rafters, safety anchors, weather, age, or other system installations. Meet QuickPATCH.

What is QuickPATCH

The QuickPATCH is a 4-inch by 5-inch galvanized steel patch backed by butyl adhesive and features a butyl-coated top edge for resealing the shingle course after installation. QuickPATCH has a Peel, Place, and Press application method that is both fast in application and long-term as a solution.

The QuickPATCH offers a standardized, consistent solution to prevent roof leaks and reduce costly callbacks. And to be clear, this applies to all kinds of rooftop damage caused by solar array installations, satellite dishes, or general wear and tear.

Why QuickPATCH?

“QuickPATCH is a response to feedback we’ve received from solar installers and other tradespeople who needed a quick, reliable, and consistent way to seal roof holes and repair roof damage,” said Rick Gentry, Vice President of New Product Development. “The product was developed and tested internally at QuickBOLT, and we are proud of the convenience, speed, and durability it offers.”

For years, roofing and solar installation industries have struggled with labor-intensive solutions for sealing roof holes that were hard to track in terms of inventory, application, and cost—leading to a lot of guesswork. The idea for QuickPATCH as a solution came from the QuickBOLT sales team.

“At QuickBOLT, we’re encouraged to share ideas and address the real challenges our customers face,” said Matthew Saavedra, Outside Sales, Northwestern Region. “I was thrilled to contribute this idea and am impressed with the team’s work in turning it into a product that solves a major industry problem.”

Availability

QuickPATCH will be available through distribution in cases of 150, 16, or 4. It will also be available on the QuickBOLT and Quickscrews online stores in the same quantities. Learn more here.
