SureCoat Roof Coating Products
The SureCoat Roof System is comprised of the highest quality coatings on the market today. Our products exceed Energy Star and Cool Roof Rating Council requirements and are at the top of their class in thermal emittance and overall durability. Best of all, this system is designed to perform where other systems fail, in the ponding areas and flat roof areas. The cross-linked, hybrid nature of these products make SureCoat waterproofed roofs eligible for a written renewable manufacturer’s warranty that covers ponding water on roofs. We have several sizes of mesh fabric that can be embedded in the system to increase tensile strength allowing the roof to thermal cycle without tearing for the life of the system. The SureCoat Roof System can be renewed indefinitely (every 10 years) as the previous system acts as a base for the new system, saving the building owners thousands of dollars in replacement costs. All of our products are made in the USA!
The highly reflective properties of SureCoat Systems’ roof coating products make them perfect under residential and commercial roof mount solar systems. The high viscosity and high solid content make them a great value for the cost. Every gallon leaves approximately 10.5 dry mils per gallon per square. SureCoat-E and Sure-A-Thane flat roof coatings stack so well, that it is easy to get 2 gallons per square (100 sq. ft.) of material down in one pass.
Sure-A-Thane
ponding conditions with a perm rating of .019. It is self-adhered and self-flashing. High grade Tio2 with Nano particles are used for higher reflectivity and better cleaning. Sure-a-thane and fabric are used to create a solid core roof system that remains waterproof and energy efficient as it wears. With only 23 grams per liter, it is VOC compliant in the strictest areas. It is also Energy Star Approved, Title 24 compliant and rated with the CRRC (product ID 1098-0001). Sure-a-thane has an initial SRI of 108%; and 102% aged making it eligible for LEED credits. It retains high emissivity and reflectivity values during its lifecycle. It is FM standard 4470 approved for Class 1 fire, windstorm, and hail. Sure-a-thane is accredited by the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance, a business unit of the American Plastics Council. When installed by a certified contractor according to specifications, a system has a renewable warranty that covers leaks in ponding areas.
Black mastics get brittle, dry and crack in 6 months to a year when used on roofs. They are for temporary repairs but, unfortunately, have been mistaken as permanent repair solutions at joints, penetrations, and on other seams or areas that split. Most new roof systems have miles of seams and holes cut in to the rolled roofing to go around equipment curbs, penetrations and skylights. To seal these or batons, seams, and fasteners on metal roofs, mastics are often used. When used in areas such as these, water intrusion is inevitable, as mastics are not permanent watertight sealers.
Polyester Fabric
RF & HSF Polyester Fabric are the two types of fabric that are to be used with The SureCoat Roof System. The standard polyester, RF, comes in widths of 4”, 6”, 12”, and 40” and are all 330’ long. The poly-weave fabric, HSF, comes in 40” X 165’long rolls. The RF is softer and easier to saturate. The HSF poly-weave is cross-reinforced giving the fabric amazing tensile strength. The HSF fabric is stiffer and harder to saturate than RF fabric, so more coating may be needed to saturate the fabric properly. The HSF fabric is great for partial systems, repairs, when roof materials are in extremely poor condition, or when an extreme amount of movement is expected of the roof such as vibrations from equipment.
SureCoat Butter
SureCoat Butter Grade is an ultra thick, white caulking type material. There are times that white mastics may make preparation easier, i.e., to caulk standing seam batons on a metal roof. All of the SureCoat System products are engineered and purposely created with the same chemistry and cross-linked epoxy resins so that they are completely compatible and will bond together insuring a monolithic system in the end. When the use of a caulking gun is desired, or necessary, the butter grade is available.
SurePrime
SurePrime is a high quality roof primer with lower viscosity. SurePrime is a fluid elastomeric coating that costs a less than Sure-A-Thane and can be used to fill in voids before a SureCoat Roof System is installed. The most common situation that calls for SurePrime is a tar and gravel roof that is being reconditioned. After the loose gravel is swept and removed, there is always some gravel embedded in the tar that has attached to the felt and the components of the roof assembly. First, spud the embedded gravel without tearing the membrane. Clean the area with SureKlean, rinse, and let it dry completely. Use SurePrime to fill in the voids and “bury” the gravel that is embedded. Once this slurry coat of SurePrime is completely dry, The SureCoat Roof System can be installed over it.
SureKlean
SureKlean is a fresh smelling, biodegradable, high quality roof cleaner made to clean and etch existing roof materials, especially single ply membranes, in preparation for The SureCoat Roof System installation. SureKlean is used to remove the UV degradation of factory-applied glaze or dirt, and to etch the surface properly to insure excellent adhesion of The SureCoat Roof System’s epoxy hybrid coating. Special equipment is not necessary to use SureKlean or any of The SureCoat Roof System products. However, when reconditioning a large existing single ply roof, a floor scrubber with a scotch-brite pad can be used to make the cleaning process go extremely quick and easy, saving both time and money
Shingle Saver (composition shingles or roof tiles)
Shingle Saver is a clear, low-viscosity coating that is used to extend the life of existing roof shingles and to maximize protection of the roof materials. It helps the composition shingles to stay in place and aids the mineral cap from wearing off thus extending the life of the shingles by limiting deterioration. Shingle Saver keeps wood shake from absorbing water, swelling and drying out - extending the life of these roof materials. Shingle Saver will form a protective membrane on clay tiles to help keep the elements from weathering them. Shingle Saver can be applied with a low pressure sprayer, such as a Hudson sprayer.
