By Evelyn Witterholt.

In an upcoming Read, Listen, Watch, you’ll hear from roof coating experts about when a roof should be coated.

The market for roof coatings has been growing exponentially! So much so that we have even launched a new website, CoatingsCoffeeShop.com, that’s dedicated to providing you with up-to-date knowledge about roof coatings. But if you want to know more about when the right time to coat a roof is, tune into our upcoming Read, Listen, Watch (RLW) on Wednesday, September 27 at 11 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. ET.

For this RLW, we will be joined by Jeff Harvey, national sales manager at TRP Roofing Products (TRP). TRP is a SOPREMA Group Company that has been manufacturing liquid roofing products for over 60 years. They offer a wide range of asphalt, acrylic and silicone roofing systems that are built to take on the most extreme types of weather.

Jeff has years of experience in the roof coating industry. He has been with TRP for over seven years and currently oversees the maintenance, restoration and operations after their recent acquisition by SOPREMA. He has a great understanding of the roof coatings products that his company offers as well as market trends.

Don't know which type of coating is best for each type of roof? Want to be able to tell if a roof needs a complete roof replacement or if a coating will do the trick? By the end of this RLW you’ll get the answers to these roof coating questions and more!

Register for our upcoming RLW to learn more about the rapidly growing roof coating market!

About SOPREMA

Building. Protecting. Sustaining.

In 1908, Charles Geisen founded “Les Usines Alsaciennes d’Émulsions” in Strasbourg, France for the development and production of waterproofing liquids and pastes. Charles discovered a revolutionary material that was impermeable, yet flexible and easy to apply: canvas dipped in hot bitumen. As the finished product resembled the skin of a wooly mammoth, it was called the “MAMMOUTH“ waterproofing membrane. Today, SOPREMA is owned and operated by Charles Geisen’s great grandson, Pierre-Etienne Bindschedler, and has over 100 manufacturing plants worldwide, providing complete solutions for building envelope waterproofing. SOPREMA continues to operate with core values of integrity, respect, commitment to excellence, and a focus on sustainable product development to minimize our impact on the environment.
