Smaller EPDM Membranes Offer Easier Material Handling, Rooftop Delivery

Carlisle, Pa. — ENERGY STAR-approved and CRRC-certified, Carlisle SynTec’s five-foot wide FleeceBACK EPDM membranes weigh less than 100 pounds and facilitate material handling and rooftop delivery, the company reports. The FleeceBACK membranes are ideal for tall buildings where rooftop access is limited and the use of large cranes is impractical, and feature Carlisle’s Factory-Applied Tape (FAT), which eliminates the use of slow-drying, cold-applied adhesives on the seams and provides uniform adhesive width and thickness, ensuring a watertight seal within minutes of seam installation. www.carlisle-syntec.com.

Cool Roof Technologies Reduce EnergyConsumption, Increase Reflectivity

Chino, Calif. — Field tests demonstrate that metal shakes coated with Custom-Bilt Metals’ ULTRA-Cool coating were found to reduce the amount of heat penetrating the roof’s surface by as much as 36 percent, offering significant savings in the energy required to cool the structure, the company reports. Because less heat is absorbed, the roof surface undergoes less expansion and contraction, extending the roof life. Custom-Bilt supplies standing seam metal roofing systems fabricated from steel, aluminum or copper, as well as Kynar-finished steel tile, steel shingles, aluminum shake, and steel / copper shingles. www.custombiltmetals.com.
