TPO Skin Overlay
TPO skin refers to the process of installing a layer of roofing membrane over an existing roof surface. Instead of completely removing the old roof, a new TPO membrane is placed on top.
ISO for Drainage
ISO Boards are rigid insulation sheathing commonly used in flat roofs. They are tapered, allowing construction of a custom slope that tapers toward the roof drainage system. The drainage system is reinforced with TPO tape and the entire roof is coated with membrane.
Radiant Barrier
Radiant barrier is a reflective material, often a specialized type of aluminum foil, installed in buildings to reflect radiant heat, enhancing energy efficiency and comfort.
EPDM Flashing Tape
EPDM Flashing Tape is a self-adhesive tape used for sealing and repairing roofs. It is durable & moldable, allowing it to fit perfectly around penetrations & curbs for long-term leak protection.
