How to install a Conklin foam & coatings system on a flat roof




Watch as an existing smooth built-up roof in Bloomington, Illinois is covered with sprayed-in-place polyurethane foam (SPF) and coated with Conklin's Benchmark base coat and white reflective top coating.

This job was completed by Conklin Roofing Systems Master Contractor Ted Williams of Williams Roofing & Construction in Springfield, Illinois. A jobsite interview with the building owner's representative reveals that he chose this particular system due to the energy savings and lack of need to tear-off the existing roof system. Narrated by Randy Patton of Patton Services (White Roofing Systems).

More profitable and faster to install re-roofing alternative. Contractors needed!




Thank you for your interest in Conklin - America's #1 acrylic roof coating company by volume. Conklin manufactures high quality, Energy Star rated metal roof renovation, single-ply, fabric reinforced, polyurethane foam, and EPDM roof coating systems that meet or exceed fire ratings and code standards.

Not only are these roofing systems durable, energy efficient and long-lasting, but they are also faster and more profitable to install, and provide a lower cost alternative roofing solution for you to bid along with the systems you already install.

Conklin revolutionized the commercial roofing industry when they introduced white acrylic fabric-reinforced coating systems more than 30 years ago. Their fabric-reinforced ply roofing system combines the leak-resistant seamless membrane of a liquid-applied system with the toughness and a tensile strength of a single-ply system. The reinforced fabric gives extra strength to the finished watertight coating membrane without adding significant weight. With its reflective, energy-saving white top coat, a finished ply system stands up against tough weather and offers strong, long-lasting protection.

Conklin’s metal roof restoration coating system was specifically designed to prevent leaks where they most often occur - at the seams and screws. In addition to outstanding protection against water penetration, the metal restoration system extends the life of the roof by resisting weather extremes and reduces air conditioning costs by reflecting the sun’s harmful rays, and its light weight also preserves the useful life of the building.

Conklin's spray polyurethane roofing systems have been engineered to provide a superior, energy-efficient, long-lasting roof for any building. Foam roofing offers excellent insulation value and a smooth, durable, seam-free barrier against the elements when coated with Conklin coating systems. Foam is so lightweight (about eight ounces per square foot) it can be applied over most existing roof systems without exceeding the structural load capacity. Yet it’s amazingly strong, easily withstanding light foot traffic and other weight requirements. Conklin’s foam roofing systems have met the most stringent requirements for a variety of industry groups such as Factory Mutual and Underwriters Laboratories, and are recognized by the International Conference of Building Officials.

You can extend the life of an existing EPDM or modified bitumen roof and save your customers on their energy costs at the same time with Conklin's innovative roof recoating systems. This is an extremely effective and economical alternative to tear-off and re-roofing. Adding a white, energy efficient, lightweight coating on top of a black roof avoids the expensive removal and disposal of the existing roof and the tremendous workplace disruption it causes.

Your customers can potentially save enough in cooling costs to pay for a recoat within just 7 years, as Conklin's Energy-Star rated white top coats reflect up to 85% of the sun's heat rays, cooling the roof and building and enabling up to a 30% reduction in air conditioning. They may also qualify for federal tax credits and/or rebates.

Conklin’s Flexion single-ply roof system provides a tough, yet extremely flexible 50-mil barrier from the elements. Their advanced, naturally fire-resistant PVC formulation provides long-term superior strength, stability, and flexibility, requires minimal maintenance and has a favorable life cycle cost.

Conklin's Hy-Crown® single-ply roof system is extra-tough because it is manufactured with Hypalon® - a synthetic rubber made by DuPont. Hypalon is one of the most durable materials in the single-ply roofing market and has a track record of more than 30 years.

You can improve the performance and further extend the service life of a new, existing or aged TPO, PVC and CSPE single-ply roof with Conklin’s specialty formulated acrylic roof coatings. As single-ply membranes become weathered over time they can crack, leak, and pick up dirt, diminishing their effectiveness and energy-saving properties. Conklin’s elastomeric coatings provide a new, cost-effective solution for repairing, preserving and improving the energy savings of approved single-ply membranes.

Conklin provide hands-on training and assist you with proper equipment and tool acquisition before you install your first job. They also offer a variety of year-round regional and national training and support.
