11 year old 75,000 square foot metal roof
Customer: Commercial Property Owner
Location: Media, Pa
Challenge-
Maintenance free metal buildings don’t hold up to the expectations of building owners. Problems occur because of the constant movement to which metal is subjected. Movement causes leakage at the seams and flashing as well as metal degradation. Rusting starts years before the building owner is ever aware it is taking place.
Solution- The Weather Barrier Difference
Weather Barrier Seamless Encapsulation tackles thermal expansion problems and returns metal buildings to working order. After removing rust scale and power washing the roof, Weather Barrier 5003 Rust Inhibitive Primer is applied. All screws must be refastened and/or replaced. Weather Barrier Mesh is embedded WB 1530 Base Coat on all seams and flashings. Finally, two coats of Weather Barrier 2000 Elastomeric Roof Coating are applied to the entire surface. All of the Weather Barrier Coatings are water based and elastomeric. They are designed to be flexible and move with the roof in a wide range of temperatures to yield years of waterproof service.
