Re-cover roofing jobs with liquid-applied membranes

The two installation options for liquid-applied membranes like those from Conklin are Roller- applied and spray application.


Liquid applied systems are highly useful as re-covers for weight-sensitive applications, such as pre-engineered steel buildings:

 

Spray application is generally used with coated polyurethane foam systems. Coated-polyurethane-foam systems are excellent for adding insulating value to a re-cover roof and fixing slope-to-drain problems. They are sensitive to humidity during installation. If a silicone coating is used, the roof system is not sensitive to grease and oil emissions as silicone is fairly inert.


 

Roller-applied systems are mostly used to prolong the life of an existing smooth-surface roof. They are a good, low-cost alternate to reroofing but are not necessarily a permanent replacement. However, newer liquid-applied roofing systems can last as long as 10 years - the caveat is that the roof has to be in fairly stable and dry condition when the new liquid membrane is applied.

Clearly, there are many options available. Sorting them out before going out to bid is the best way to assure the most appropriate roof system is chosen for the building. A properly trained and knowledgeable roofing contractor can sort through the options.
