Roof restoration systems can extend the life of a commercial roof and offer significant cost savings compared to a full replacement. With advanced roof coating technologies including silicone, acrylic, spray foam, and aluminum, the experts at Henry can help determine the optimal restoration system for your building.
If your commercial roof is beginning to wear or leak, you might think that installing a new roof is your only option. But before you commit to a complete roof replacement, you should see if your roof qualifies for a cost-effective alternative – a Henry Pro-Grade Silicone Commercial Roof Restoration System.
Easy to apply and cost-effective elastomeric – or acrylic – roof coating systems will extend the life of your commercial roof and improve building performance.
Improve energy efficiency, save on roof replacement costs, and avoid downtime with spray polyurethane foam systems. SPF offers a unique combination of strength, formability, seamlessness and insulating value that can maintain the roof for the life of the building.
Shore up trouble areas that pose potential threats to your structure. From protective asphalt to highly reflective aluminum, you can save time and energy costs with a roof restoration system.
With advanced roof restoration technologies available today, there are options to ultimately extend the life cycle of your current roofing membrane. But how do you know which roof restoration system is best for your building?
In many cases there is a money-saving alternative to reroofing: roof restoration. Employing advanced roof coating technologies such as silicone, acrylic or aluminum, roof restoration systems enable the facility’s current roof membrane to be restored at a fraction of the cost of roof replacement, ultimately extending the roof membrane life cycle. But how can you know if your roof is a candidate for restoration?
Acrylic polymers have been the primary binder technology used to date in white reflective coatings due, in large part, to the efforts of Rohm and Haas company developing and promoting elastomeric coatings. In fact, the early success of Henry’s reflective coatings technology was based on starter formulations provided by Rohm and Haas. As the technology has evolved, so have the demands of consumers. While reflectivity and associated energy savings are key drivers, other market forces have brought an alternative silicone roof technology to the forefront.
The Marina Pointe Condominiums are located in Satellite Beach, Florida, and were dealing with a serious issue. The condominium's modified bitumen roof had not been sloped correctly, and water was ponding on the roof, which was causing it to deteriorate and begin to leak. Eventually, the leaks would grow and cause damage to the interior of the units if steps weren't taken to address this issue.
The solution as presented by Unicoat was to replace the old roof with a spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roofing system. The SPF roofing system allowed for the drainage issues to be fixed at a fraction of the cost of other roofing systems.
Faced with a leaking flat commercial roof on its Tucson, Arizona facility, Learning Care Group needed a roofing solution that would be as undisruptive as possible while also focusing on the safety of the children and staff that occupy the building. As a leading provider of early childhood education, Learning Care Group operates 1,050+ facilities that provide care and instruction for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years.
The company’s Tucson facility – and its young occupants – would be challenged to endure the weeks of noise, odors, dust, debris, and disruption that come with a traditional roof tear-off and replacement. Fortunately, Learning Care Group already had a proven solution in mind.
Located just north of Tampa on Florida’s Gulf Coast, the Hernando County School District needed a lasting solution for two aging roofs at Hernando High School. Both modified bitumen roofs were beginning to wear and leak.
The district was considering a TPO membrane, which it had used for previous roof repairs. TPO was an affordable option, but not necessarily the best long-term solution. As the district had learned, TPO membranes are susceptible to UV damage from the sun – problems along seams and around penetrations can appear in just five years.
Friendship Village is a continuing care retirement community consisting of apartment- and casita-style living. As a not-for-profit operation, Friendship Village needed a cost-effective roof restoration solution for its on-site health care center.
After a local contractor submitted a bid in excess of $200,000 to install a single-ply TPO membrane on the two buildings, Friendship Village looked to Henry for a much more affordable solution – one that the community’s maintenance team could install on its own to help save money.
Located on a busy corner in downtown Coral Gables, Florida, a four-story, multi-tenant office building had a recurring problem; repeated failures on its 12,454 sq. ft., modified bitumen flat roof that eventually led to leaks throughout the building. Despite re-applications of an acrylic coating about every five years, the leaks always returned.
Looking for a cost-effective long-term solution that also accommodated the logistical challenge of the building location, the building owner Michael Steffens turned to Florida Quality Roofing (FQR) for a silicone roof restoration coating system.
Built in 1957 and expanded in 1989, the Miami Beach Convention Center (MBCC) has hosted many historic events, including several national party conventions and the 1964 World Heavyweight Championship boxing match in which Cassius Clay, later known as Muhammad Ali, defeated Sonny Liston.
To meet the demands of the 21st century, the MBCC committed to a $615 million renovation and expansion. When complete in 2018, the 1.4 million-square-foot LEED-certified facility will feature a 60,000-square-foot grand ballroom, a 20,000-square-foot glass rooftop ballroom, new technologically advanced meeting rooms and new indoor/outdoor public spaces.
