Unique Challenges
Active manufacturing facility, complete tear off would have forced them to shut down production
Part of the building had very bad condensation issues due to the rising heat from the block kiln
Multiple leaks
Fasteners were rusting
Solution
Manufacturing was not paused at all
We pressure washed the entire roof, applied SPF foam over 18,000 feet of the area that had condensation problems.
Caulked all fasteners
Applied Conklin Benchmark basecoat and fabric at all the metal seams that did not get SPF
Applied Benchmark basecoat on new SPF
Applied Puma XL topcoat over the entire roof
Benefits
Building is leak free
Increased R Value significantly
Puma XL white top coat decreases the roof temps in summer, lower cooling costs
18 year non pro-rated warranty
Eliminated condensation issues by applying the foam. By insulating from the top down, this eliminated cold metal temps and hot air from the kiln colliding and causing condensation.
Facilities manager said he had leaks everywhere, after we were done, the building is totally dry.
