White Paper: Overcoming the Seasonality of Roofing with Cold Weather Liquid-Applied Roofing Application Technology

With current labor shortages, the ability to work year-round and take the seasonality out of roofing is more important than ever.

Working during the winter months helps roofing contractors keep laborers employed year-round, leading to diminished backlogs, increased business and overall customer satisfaction.

But with winter storms and overall cold temperatures, it is not just the ability for laborers to work on the roof that matters but also the performance of roofing products. As liquid applied roofing systems continue to grow in popularity, the demand for year-round solutions is becoming critical. Contractors and manufacturers need to meet market demand in every season but have discovered the challenges that come with installing the products in cold weather.

In this white paper, the experts at Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenance review the challenges of cold weather roofing applications using liquid applied roofing products and systems as well as the technologies that are creating opportunity for year-round, cold weather roofing projects. The article will help you understand how the chemistry of different roof coatings and systems is key to cold weather application as well as how the products perform in extreme cold while maintaining important features such as elongation and durability that can make the difference between success or failure in commercial roofing projects.

After learning about the different chemistries and how they affect performance, the paper will introduce you to a new, unique, cold weather technology developed by and available through Tremco Roofing. Their AlphaGuard PUMA system is made with a unique blend of polyurethane and methyl methacrylate resins that create a product providing higher elongation, crack bridging, and other properties than comparable MMA/PMMA technologies. AlphaGuard PUMA has been brought into the liquid applied roofing market after being field tested by the team at Weatherproofing Technologies, Inc. It is now commercialized and being used successfully in the industry. The white paper will help you understand how the technology works and why it’s the best choice for cold-weather roofing applications.
