  • 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
