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.

Tropical Silicone is used to waterproof and protect existing and new roof substrates, including built-up, metal, modified bitumen capsheets, and tar and gravel roof decks. When installed per manufact urer’s instructions, it is a totally waterproof, and highly heat reflective roof system. In the standard “White” color, the heat reflectivity is about 85%. Other colors are available if “White” is not desired, the lighter colors being the better reflectors.

Tropical Silicone 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.
