The process begins with a thorough evaluation to ensure the roof is a suitable candidate for a fabric-reinforced system.

✓ Inspect the Roof: A professional will inspect the entire roof for structural integrity, signs of moisture saturation, and existing damage.

✓ Clean and Repair: The roof surface is meticulously cleaned using a specialized cleaner and a pressure washer to remove all dirt, debris, and contaminants. Any existing cracks, punctures, or weakened seams are repaired to create a sound foundation for the new system.

✓ Ensure a Dry Surface: The roof must be completely dry before any coatings are applied. Trapped moisture can compromise the adhesion of the system.

This initial layer is crucial for preparing the roof and creating a strong bond for the fabric and subsequent coatings.

✓ Prime the Surface: A specialized primer or base coat is applied to the entire, clean roof surface. This layer is designed to adhere tightly to the existing substrate and serve as the foundation for the entire system.

✓ Prepare for the Fabric: The coating is applied to a specific thickness, creating a wet layer for the fabric to be embedded into.

This is the key step that gives the system its strength and name.

✓ Lay the Fabric: While the base coat is still wet, a tough polyester or similar reinforcing fabric is unrolled and carefully embedded into the fluid-applied coating.

✓ Smooth and Saturate: The fabric is smoothed out to remove all wrinkles, bubbles, or "fish mouths." A wet roller is used to ensure the fabric is completely saturated with the base coat and tightly bonded to the roof surface with no dry spots.

✓ Overlap the Seams: Adjacent sections of fabric are overlapped by several inches at the seams to create a continuous, multi-layered barrier.

Once the fabric is in place, more fluid-applied coats are added to complete the seamless, reinforced membrane.

✓ Apply a Second Coat: After the initial base coat and fabric have cured (typically within 24 hours), a second coat of the fluid-applied membrane is applied. This layer fully encapsulates the reinforcing fabric, creating a monolithic, highly durable layer.

✓ Apply a Reflective Topcoat: For systems designed for energy efficiency, a final topcoat is applied. This layer is often a light, reflective color to reduce heat absorption and protect the system from UV rays and weathering.

✓ Add Granules (Optional): In some cases, ceramic granules are broadcast into the wet topcoat. This adds slip resistance and extra protection for the membrane.

The final step ensures the quality and performance of the completed system.

✓ Walkthrough and Quality Check: The contractor performs a thorough final inspection, checking all seams, transitions, and details to ensure the entire roof is a single, reinforced, seamless membrane.

✓ Curing and Warranty: The finished roof is left to fully cure according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cured, the system is ready to provide a waterproof, highly durable roof with a long-term manufacturer's warranty.

✓ Superior Strength: The embedded fabric provides exceptional tensile strength, enhancing the roof's overall durability.

✓ Enhanced Flexibility: Adapts to building movement and thermal expansion/contraction without compromising integrity.

✓ Outstanding Tear Resistance: Highly resistant to punctures, tears, and impacts, crucial for commercial environments.

✓ Ideal for Older Roofs: A perfect solution for reinforcing and restoring aging or compromised roof surfaces.

✓ Seamless Protection: Creates a monolithic, watertight barrier across the entire roof, eliminating common leak points.

✓ Energy Efficiency: Many fabric reinforced systems offer reflective properties, contributing to reduced cooling costs.

✓ Proven Longevity: Our past projects demonstrate the remarkable durability and extended lifespan these systems provide.
