  • Unique Challenges
    • Active manufacturing facility where a 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

  • 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 disrupted
  • Benefits
    • Building is leak-free
    • Increased R-Value significantly
    • Puma XL white top coat decreases the roof temps in summer, lower cooling costs
