Application Procedure

The Process is as follows:

  1. Clearing & Cleaning the Substrate:
    The surface of the roof is thoroughly cleaned of all loose dirt and debris. Blisters and/or buckled areas are cut and nailed. Wet or deteriorated roofing must be completely removed. The surface is primed as needed.
  2. Pre-application:
    Remove and reset roof-mounted mechanical equipment. Replace and/or cover all skylights and install new metal flashings at new lumber skylight curbs.
  3. Foam Application:
    A blanket of insulating 1" minimum polyurethane foam is applied over the entire surface. (No maximum urethane foam thickness).
  4. Base Coat Application:
    The DURAGARD elastomeric base coat is then applied sealing the new urethane foam and providing excellent protection from the sun's damaging ultra violetrays.
  5. Finish Coat Application:
    The final coat of DURAGARD high quality acrylic elastomer topcoat is then applied. Available in White, Beige or Tan.
  6. Final:
    Final detailing and debris removal from the jobsite. A quality control final inspection takes place to ensure the highest quality workmanship and complete customer satisfaction

Application Procedure

  1. Spray-in-Place Insulation Procedure: Urethane foam insulation consists of a two-component sprayable type specifically manufactured for roof insulation.
    1. Apply insulation to all low and/or ponding areas to reduce standing water.
    2. Spray-apply 1", 2.5 - 3 lb density urethane foam over all roof areas to waterproof and insulate the roof substrate. Insulation shall be carried up all adjacent vertical surfaces to waterproof all penetrations and roof-to-wall junctures. Additional foam insulation may be applied to taper and enhance drainage and/or to provide greater R-value.
  2. Fluid Applied Waterproofing
    1. Apply DURAGARD acrylic elastomer base coat at the rate of 1-1/2 gal/100sf.
    2. Apply DURAGARD acrylic elastomer second coat at the rate of 1-1/2 gal/100sf.
    3. Apply DURAGARD acrylic elastomer top coat at the rate of 1-1/4 gal/100sf to all vertical surfaces.
    4. Terminate coating application 4" above foam termination.
    5. Apply Shasta #6 roofing granules onto an uncured second coat at the rate of 60 lbs/100sf.
    6. Apply DURAGARD C-Cure modified cementitious roof coating into embedded aggregate at average of ¼" thickness to provide a 100% foot traffic resistant hard cement shell surface.
