Alternative to EPDM
In today’s commercial roofing industry, there are multiple options when it comes to a building’s roof. It can be overwhelming to know which type of material to use, and which one will be the best investment without breaking the bank. There comes a time during the life of every roof when the building owner must decide whether to replace the roof or simply repair it. For some business owners, this may be a difficult decision. Should they tear off an entire roof, choose a material that will last for decades, and hope their budget can withstand the investment of a new roof? Or should they apply a liquid coating that guarantees to add an extra 15 to 20 years of service life to their current roof and potentially save 40-50% or more?
Try PolyArmor to Add 15-20 Years of Life to Your Current Roof
If a new roof is the chosen option, one type of roofing material that can be used is EPDM, or ethylene propylene diene monomer. It is also known as a “rubber roof”. EPDM gets its name from the monomers (chemicals) that are mixed in different quantities to form it. It is mainly used on commercial roofs that are low-sloped or flat. Although EPDM is one of the most inexpensive roofing materials available, the current roof would have to be completely stripped, an adhesive added, and then the membrane rolled out. This would add extra steps and added labor costs. Not to mention, the old roof would have to be disposed of in a landfill, meaning it is not an environmentally friendly option. A business owner also runs the risk of hiring a roofing installer that does not follow the manufacturer’s directions resulting in future leaks occurring before they should.
Save 40-50% on Cost Using Polyarmor vs. EPDM
If the current roof is not too far gone and damaged beyond repair, building owners have the option of PolyArmor. PolyArmor is a simple liquid coating that is applied to an existing roof. Its seamless fluid membrane is designed to be used for flat roof maintenance or repairs and to restore the roof instead of replacing it. PolyArmor can be applied to just about any existing roof and will safeguard against heavy foot traffic, ponding water, and the worst environmental conditions one could think of. What is even better is that PolyArmor may qualify business owners for a 100% tax deduction the first year. A good, knowledgeable building manager knows that waiting to replace their roof for as long as possible frees up capital that can be used for other business-related expenses. This is one major advantage of PolyArmor. When using PolyArmor, business owners are restoring their roofs which means they are saving money, preventing aggravation, avoiding production interruption, and dodging other unforeseen frustrations.
