Metal Roof Restoration
|
|
Our metal restoration system uses a highly reflective coating with exceptional elastomeric qualities.
This coating provides a reflective monolithic film that accommodates metal roof movement while reducing
surface temperatures. It can be applied directly to prepared metal or to primed surfaces.

Advantages to Metal Roof Restoration
|
- Experience has shown that restoration can dramatically extend the service life of a metal roof and
delay replacement for many years.
- The cost of restoration is far less than replacement with a comparable roof and represents an
excellent value through cost avoidance by protecting an existing investment.
- The restoration process can be repeated in most instances, truly maximizing the service life of the
roof.
- Since little or no roof membrane is removed during restoration, interruption of building activity is
minimized.
- Reusing the existing roof saves tear-off and disposal costs, as well as being environmentally
considerate.
- Low odor cold process restoration eliminates disruptions due to noxious fumes and alleviates building
occupants' health concerns related to roof work.

Steps in Metal Roof Restoration
|
1. Analysis
To determine if a roof is suitable for restoration, Tremco roofing experts perform visual inspections.
2. Preparation
Proper preparation of the roof surface is critical to the success of the restoration process: For metal
roofs, all dirt and debris are removed and the entire surface is cleaned prior to work
commencing.
3. Repair & Reinforcement
Spot Replacement
Metal deck inconsistencies must be repaired or replaced to prevent any further roof deterioration.
Increased Strength
Flashings, curbs and other projections are repaired and reinforced so that they are stronger than
original.
4. Renewed Protection
Added Reinforcement
Additional polyester or glass membrane may be incorporated over metal seams to reinforce and strengthen
the system.
Improved Waterproofing
A cold applied restorative top pour tenaciously bonds to the aged coating, restoring reflectivity and
moisture resistant performance.
Enhanced Weather Barrier
As a barrier against ultraviolet light and its photo-oxidizing effects, a reflective coating
protects and covers the metal system.
Extended Life
A properly restored roof gives years of added service life.
