BEACHWOOD, Ohio (PRWEB) February 19, 2015

Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenance has a history of innovation stretching back to 1928. But its never been stronger than it is right now.

For next weeks International Roofing Expo, the company is introducing a number of systems and products, as well as convenient packaging for two popular products, and highlighting another three recent announcements. More information will be available at the Expo in Tremco Roofings two booths, #1701 and #2753.

New Systems

AlphaGuard BIO: AlphaGuard BIO is a two-component, two-coat, bio-based polyurethane fluid-applied roofing system that is closely related to our AlphaGuard MT system, a popular choice with contractors and building owners from coast to coast. AlphaGuard BIO provides a solution to numerous roofing needs, including restoring structural concrete, BUR, MB and single ply roofs; installations on vegetated and IRMA roofs; new construction; and even a liquid flashing membrane for new roofs. The high bio content, low odor/VOC (> 6 g/L) and high reflectivity are sustainable benefits that customers want today, while the two-component polyurethane composition offers a fast-curing, high-performance system.

PowerFAST Modified Bitumen System: The PowerFAST MB system starts with a high-performance modified bitumen base membrane that is mechanically attached to the structural roof deck, enabling it to withstand higher wind uplift forces than many fully adhered systems; securement options featuring barbed plates or pressure bars are specified according to local wind uplift requirements. The base ply overlap is sealed with a fast curing adhesive, making it watertight quickly. Final surfacing is typically a granule-surfaced MB, but several high-reflectance options are available to meet the building owners expectations for a high-quality roof system with a high-performance surface finish. The PowerFAST system can be installed with less labor than fully adhered MB systems typically require.

Rock-It WB Surfacing: Rock-It WB is a white, water-based, highly reflective surfacing designed for use as a cold process aggregate adhesive; it works equally well as a flood coat over new roofs and as a restoration surfacing to adhere new aggregate to multi-ply bituminous roof systems. A low-VOC surfacing that is suitable for use on the most odor-sensitive accounts, Rock-It WB and approved aggregates meet the requirements of California's Title 24 Energy Efficiency Standards and have been tested by the Cool Roof Rating Council; together they can help you meet your customers growing demands for sustainable roofing solutions.

TremLastic S Emulsion: This non-fibered, asbestos-free neoprene rubber modified asphalt emulsion serves as a protective coating for new and existing smooth asphalt BUR and MB roof surfaces. It bridges minor surface irregularities to seal roof surfaces from moisture intrusion and provides a smooth monolithic surface for coating applications, opening new roof restoration opportunities for contractors. TremLastic S emulsion is water-based, low in odor, and meets the strict VOC requirements for roof coatings in Californias South Coast Air Quality Management District and the US EPAs National VOC Emission Standard for Architectural Coatings (AIM).

TremLock T-138 Standing Seam Metal Roofing System: For easy, fast and cost-effective recovering of a damaged but still functional shingled roof, the TremLock T-138 metal roof is the perfect choice. There is no landfill debris, much less disturbance to the occupants and the roof can remain in a watertight condition during installation. The TremLock T-138 metal roofs unique clip design provides a ventilated air space between the new and the old roof. This air space can help reduce heat transfer in the summer from 30% to 50%, according to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. During the winter, the air space prevents heat transfer from inside the building to the back of the roof panels and minimizes problems caused by premature snow melt and icing. The TremLock T-138 metal roof can also be installed directly on the deck in new construction or for a roof replacement.

AlphaGuard BIO, the PowerFast MB system, Rock-It WB Surfacing and TremLastic S Emulsion are all available now; the TremLock T-138 Standing Seam Metal Roofing System will be available this spring.
