ADESO® Self-Adhered Membranes

Polyglass has revolutionized the low-slope commercial & residential roofing industry. These dual-compound self-adhered modified bitumen membranes combine a true APP or SBS compound top weathering surface with an aggressive self-adhesive compound on the bottom surface. ADESO Technology revolutionized the modified bitumen industry by manufacturing dual-compound self-adhered (SA) membranes using a true APP or SBS formulation on the top weathering side and an aggressive self-adhered formulation on the bottom side of the reinforcement. This Technology integrates patented features that enhance lap sealing and allows product design with a variety of customized surfaces.

Why Recommend a Polyglass Elastomeric Roof Coating?

Polyglass manufactures the best roof coating available. Our products are not only superior, they carry the credentials to prove it. Most other coatings available do not match our quality, our service, or our support!

Acrylic or Silicone roof coatings have been used by building owners and roofing contractors for many years, typically on low-slope commercial, industrial and residential buildings. There are many benefits to our customers by using this type of roofing technology.

Budget

Roof restoration is a lower-cost option than retrofit or replacement of an existing roof. This option extends the life of the existing roof and eliminates a costly roof tear-off and full replacement. The inconvenience and exposing the building to the elements is eliminated. It is simply, a much safer and economically beneficial approach.

The cost to coat a roof can be 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of tear-off and replacement. The savings by applying a roof coating can vary greatly depending on logistics and the location (local region or state) of the installation but will always be a more economical option than a roof replacement.

Energy Savings

Reducing heat and UV (the enemy of all roofs) lessens deterioration while preventing leaks. A reflective roof coating provides energy savings by reducing the roofs’ temperature by 30-50°F, sometimes more. Subsequently, less heat transfer into the building reduces air-conditioning costs and stress on HVAC systems, reducing maintenance or replacement needs due to the lower cooling loads. The hotter the climate, the greater the energy savings. Reducing energy use reduces air pollution and greenhouse gases. The energy cost savings often pay for the coating installation within the life expectancy of the system.

Local or state rebates or grants may be available to the building owner for the installation of these energy-saving coatings. For details of any current local programs, you can contact the Coatings Product, Management team.

Performance

Elastomeric roof coatings improve the performance of existing roof systems and enhance the building’s value. The coating improves the appearance of the building and provides full protection from the elements. Polyglass’ superior line of both Acrylic and Silicone coatings offer performance that:

• Extends the useful life of the roof
• Offers UV resistance, reducing thermal expansion and contraction that cause premature roofing failures
• Are fungal and algal resistant
• Meet, and many times, exceed the strict requirements of the associated ASTM standards for each coating technology

Relevant codes and credentials are available for these coatings making them nationally acceptable. The product datasheets list the credentials obtained for each product and can be found at polyglass.us or polyglass.ca. Warranties from 5-20 years are available.

How to Install Elastoflex SA V Flashing Strips

Elastoflex® SA V Flashing Strips are factory cut rolls of Polyglass’ Elastoflex SA V membrane featuring patented ADESO® Dual-Compound Technology. In this step-by-step video, Polyglass technical expert Enrique Rives demonstrates how to install these flashing strips.

More About Elastoflex SA V Flashing Strips

Elastoflex SA V Flashing Strips feature a top layer of a Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) modified asphalt compound finished with a polyolefin film and a bottom layer composed of an aggressive self-adhesive compound protected by a split release film. These roofing strips are designed for new construction, re-roofing, and BUR repair applications, and can be used wherever a propane torch is undesirable or prohibited, or wherever an air and moisture barrier is required.

Elastoflex® SA V Flashing Strips are factory cut rolls of Elastoflex SA V membrane featuring patented ADESO® Dual-Compound Technology. The Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) modified asphalt compound is applied on the top layer and an aggressive self-adhesive compound is applied on the bottom layer. Elastoflex SA V Flashing Strips are compromised of a high performance reinforced fiberglass mat for excellent dimensional stability. Elastoflex SA V Flashing Strips are finished with a polyolefin film on the top surface and a split release film protecting the adhesive on the bottom surface.
