We typically recommend that you install fabric and coating around all roof penetrations (pipes, vents, skylights, etc.). We also recommend the same over the perimeter flashing to prevent wind uplift. Both of these steps should be done prior to the above installation steps for each type of roof.
Acrychem Roofshield is used to waterproof and protect existing and new roof substrates, including built-up, metal, modified bitumen capsheets, asphalt shingles, and wood roof decks. When installed per manufact urer’s instructions, it is a permanently renewable, totally waterproof, and highly heat reflective roof system. In the standard “White” color, the heat reflectivity is about 85%. This can be extended up to 93% reflectivity by adding an additional coat of our Iradium IR finish. Other colors are available if “White” is not desired, the lighter colors being the better reflectors.
Acrychem Roofshield can be applied by brush, roller, and airless spray equipment. Full material and material/labor warranties are available through licensed applicators that have been trained in the proper application of the system.
Colors:
Acrychem Roofshield can be tinted to a full range of custom colors, from the lightest shades to mid-tone colors. Of course, the “White” color is the most heat reflective. You can select colors from our suggested group or bring in a sample for color matching at our shop.
Colors – Standard Gray, Tan, and White. Custom colors upon request.
