Roof coatings and applications

Rusting roof: Bad image, corrosion has started, leaking screws will cause damage to stored goods. Roof conditions may require a retro-fit roof or a roof replacement (engineer required).

Roof coatings will revive appearance, extend roof life up to 15 years, costs about $1.50/sf to $3./sf installed. 30% less cost than roof replacement, Includes Manufacturer's Warranty, Reduces Energy Costs: 90% UV reflective, Repairs Roof Leaks, Minimal Disruption, Long Term Solution, Cost Efficient Maintenance. Weather Barrier is a leading brand, for metal roofing.

Case Study: Renovation: Mr. Storage

Retrofit roof replacement (Over Existing roof)

New purlins, called Roof Huggers, are installed over the existing roof, centered over the existing purlins, about 5’

apart.

Retrofit roof replacement (Over Existing roof)

A condensation barrier (R=3) is applied over the purlins. A galvalume standing seam roof is attached to the new purlins with clips, eliminating roof penetrations.

Retro-fit wall replacement

Openings are cut in, and framed out for new windows. New Girts,

insulationand wall panels are installed with trim. With the roof in place, the interior fit-

out for the mezzanine and conversion can take place.

Poor wall design: Allowed for up-lift

Poor roof design: (18 years later) Failure and complete loss, damage to stored goods.

Fire Restoration: Roof replacement, Door and filler replacement, trim replacement, new insulation, new partitions.

Solar…Easy ?

•

Solar equipment may add 3#/sf to 7#/sf•

Most buildings, are designed to allow an additional 3#/sf collateral load. Many buildings are NOT designed for additional loads.

•

Solar equipment set on an angle, will effect the wind load, possible uplift issues may arise.

•

Any equipment attached to a roof panel will void the warranty•

Standing seam Roof panels have a 20 to 30 year life. Solar panels are forecast to last 30 years.

•

Unbalanced snow drifting can be dangerous. Hire an engineer.
