Polyglass Helps Contractor Win the Bid

By Polyglass.

When Modern Development was asked to re-roof a project, they turned to Polyglass.

In 2019, when Modern Development USA was established by Nathan and Gwen Franses, Nathan had a 15-year reputation for excellence in commercial roofing. That is why when Cape Coral Condominiums called asking for a re-roof project on several of their buildings, Polyglass was their go-to selling point to win the bid.

“Quite simply…it is the best,” says Nathan. “The clients knew who Polyglass was and the tile underlayment system, so it was easy to sell. The fact that it got the client a 30-year underlayment warranty made it a slam dunk.”

Project needs and challenges

Located in Cape Coral, Florida, Cape Coral Condominiums is a multi-building residential complex located in one of Florida’s most popular tourist and vacation destinations — but also an area prone to tropical heat and the occasional hurricane. To solve this project’s re-roofing challenges, Modern needed to choose a roofing underlayment system that was especially conducive to steep-sloped roofs and could accommodate tile roofing. They also required an underlayment rated for high temperatures and high wind resistance.

To meet these challenges, Modern Development chose a two-ply system specifically designed for tile assemblies. The process began by applying an initial layer of Polystick MTS Plus, a dual-compound self-adhered underlayment rated for its thermal stability and ratings for temperatures up to 265 degrees Fahrenheit. After applying all flashings, metals, and penetration accessories, the team then used a second Polyglass underlayment of Polystick TU MAX, a homogeneous rubberized asphalt waterproofing membrane designed to meet ASTM and TAS testing requirements for steep slope roofing systems, before applying the final layer of roof tiles.
