With metal, cold- and hot-applied built-up and modified bitumen, single ply and liquid applied solutions, Tremco will help you keep roofs watertight and working through the cold.  

Tremco provides a detailed brochure of products that can help you work in the winter. A summary of the products is available below:  

1 – TremLock® T-138 Shingle Recover System and T-238 Standing Seam System 

Tremco Roofing’s TremLock T-138 Shingle Recover System and T-238 Standing Seam System provide building owners with long-term and economical roofing solutions with easy installation, individual panel replaceability and improved weather tightness.  The T-138 Shingle Recover System can be installed directly on top of shingles, eliminating the need for tear off or underlayment saving labor and risk. The T-238 Standing Seam System is a perfect option for retrofitting or re-roofing over open span or solid decking construction.   

2 – BURmastic® Built Up Roofing Systems 

Tremco Roofing’s BURmastic systems have become a standard in the roofing industry. This system can be surfaced with gravel, marble chips or any approved coating system. With its multi-ply construction, the BURmastic roofing system is incredibly durable, waterproof and can be installed in cold process adhesive. 

3 – THERMastic® Built-Up Roofing (BUR) and Hot POWERply® Modified Bitumen (MB) Systems 

The watertight and highly durable THERMastic built-up roofing systems and hot POWERply roofing systems are made of multiple plies adhered with high quality, enhanced THERMastic hot-melt adhesive. This intricate system is nothing like a typical mopping asphalt, as Hot POWERply systems are comprised of two or more modified bitumen plies, which are adhered within the THERMastic adhesive. 

4 – PowerFAST Modified Bitumen (MB) System 

The PowerFAST Modified Bitumen (MB) System includes a POWERply cap sheet membrane adhered to a high-performance POWERply anchor membrane, which is mechanically attached directly to the deck surface. This thoughtful design allows the PowerFAST roof system to create a quick, watertight and wind uplift-resistant seal. 

5 – Heat-Welded Modified Bitumen (MB) System 

Part of the POWERply® line, this heat welded mod-bit system incorporates two or three MB sheets and is installed on the roof without adhesives. During installation, the base membrane is welded to a coverboard or cap sheet using a propane torch or hot air welding equipment. All other remaining parts of the roofing system, like insulation or a coverboard, can be adhered using hot asphalt, low-rise foam or mechanical fasteners.  

6 – Tremco Single Ply Roofing Systems 

TremPly KEE, TremPly TPO, TremPly Max TPO and TPA systems all feature white, reflective surfaces and are great for all kinds of commercial roofs. They are lightweight but strong and resistant to pollutants. All single ply roofing systems have thermoplastic membranes and heat-welded seams, which eliminates the need for adhesives or tapes.  

7 – AlphaGuard™ PUMA Liquid Applied Roofing Systems 

Restore or replace your roof with the durable, two-coat AlphaGuard PUMA (Modified Polyurethane/Methyl Methacrylate) Liquid Applied Roofing System. If you must work in temperatures as low as -20°F (-28°C), AlphaGuard is the choice for you. It delivers waterproofing performance in as little as 30 minutes and can be walked on in one to two hours after installation. This system offers benefits at any time but thrives in the cold.
