Scope Of Work
Roof Size – 50,000 square feet.
Roof System Installed – Spray Foam Roof (SPF) with Conklin’s Benchmark basecoat and Puma XL topcoat
Warranty – 18 years
Roof Details
Existing roof deck- Metal Corrugated decking
Original roof- Tar And Gravel roof
Second roof- EPDM rubber
Unique Challenges
Active manufacturing facility, complete tear off of both layers would have forced them to shut down production
Owner did not want mechanical fasteners coming through the metal decking
Poor drainage in several areas
Solution
With the SPF system, a full tear off was not required
We removed the rubber membrane, cleaned the original roof and installed the SPF system directly to the old roof.
Added internal drains to prevent ponding water
Manufacturing was not paused at all
Benefits
Building is leak free
Increased R Value significantly
Puma XL white top coat decreases the roof temps in summer, lower cooling costs
18 year non pro-rated warranty
