- Having great adhesion and reflectivity Polybrite 70 and PG 700 offer you the most competitive price and warranty offering in the white coatings.
- The products and systems have Florida Building Code and Metro Dade approvals.
- Full system warranted roofs will require fabric reinforcement.
Success is in the Details
Like any other roof system, success is in the details. You still need to clean, repair and prep the roof prior to application. While not always necessary WB 3000 can be used to prime and prep metal, mod bit, and BUR using the WB 3000 will improve the spread rates of the coatings. Polybrite 78 is a washable primer that needs to be used over single plies. PB72 is our “butter grade” material ideal for wrapping penetrations and flashing details.
What does all this mean? We have you covered.
- PB 70 will be your answer to Government…Schools…Institutional specifications that will generally require UL and FM 4470
- PG 700 will have the same warranty offering but will be the competitive product on your discretionary projects.
- Polyglass acrylics can be brushed, sprayed or rolled on to the substrate.
