2 A 10 Acre Polarhide-Coated Butler-Standing-Seam Metal Roof Coated in November, December, And January 05 Gulf Coast Of Alabama Successfully coated in the depths of winter.

3 LEAKS Leaks enter: 1. Under flashing at roof edges and roof penetrations. 2. At gaps where skylight engages roof seams. 3. At breaches in ridgecap. 4. At gaps in horizontal roof seams. 5. At gaps in vertical roof seams 6. Through loose fasteners or absent fasteners. 7. Through rust corroded roof surface 8. When wind updrafts carry rain underneath roof, 9. When the volume capacity of gutters and downspouts is too low to carry the volume of water from the roof. 10. Through plain old holes in the roof caused by vandalism or accidents. 11. Because of poor roof design, installation, or repair.

4 - POLARHIDE- Polarhide is an impervious epoxy coating designed for cost effective, heavy duty, industrial use. It is ideal for metal roofs. Polarhide is used to seal and cool all roof types, walls, exterior ductwork, and any surface that needs long term protection against the elements. Installations include Goodrich, 3M, Tyson Foods, Marriott Hotel s, Methodist Hospitals, International Bio-Medical, and numerous small to medium businesses Installations categories include Manufacturing Facilities, Warehouses, Food Processing Facilities, Churches, Schools, R+D buildings, etc. Goodrich Aerospace in Foley, Alabama chose Polarhide to coat a ten acre (440,000 sq ft including 25% stretchout) metal roof. Minimum target for project included handling Gulf Coast Alabama rain (very heavy and very often throughout the year) and the high salt content in the air (thus accelerating rusting), plus must reduce facility interior temperature to reduce electrical load from AC. All these goals were accomplished.

5 Ridgecap - Leaks? Overview Of Manufacturing Facility Usual Areas of Leak Problems In Large Metal Roofs. Internal Gutter - Overflow? Aged Skylights - Leaks? Not enough Downspouts. Roof Joins Leak. Wall To Roof seam

6 - Exhaust Fan - Common Leak Issues And Their Causes. Overlaps Ridge And Roof Panel Ribs. Fan Usually Installed With Too Little Support. Metal Roof stresses with fan movement during high winds. Fan flashing separates. Fan louvers rarely seal properly so rain enters and drips down into work area.

7 Facility Bird s Eye View With Area Calculations. 100 ft 196 ft 177 ft 325 ft 50 ft 210 x 177 = 37,170 sq ft 325 x 100 = 32,500 sq ft 48 ft ft 48 x 160 = 7, ft Total Roof Area: 77,350 sq ft 325 ft

8 Stretchout is the allowance the coating industry makes for the amount of area that ribs in panels take up. We show our customers our calculations. R Panel: A cross-sectional view diagram from an R-Panel supplier. We use industry standards to estimate our costs vertical height = 1.5 sloped. Calculating Stretchout For Panel Roofs. Stretchout Calculations example: A roof 100 ft wide and 325 ft long. 100ft /39in = 100ft/3.25ft = 30 panels 4 ribs per panel = 120 ribs total Rib Area: 4 x 325 ft l = 0.33ft X 325 ft = 108 sq ft 120 ribs x 108 sq ft per rib = 12,998 sq ft total. However watch for additions to roofs it may reorient your panels and therefore your measurements may be off. The total width of one rib, stretched out, is (1.5 in in + 1 in) = 4. 4 is one third of a linear foot. Now multiply one third of a foot by length of roof. This gives the area of a single rib. Count the number of panels by dividing 39IN (3.25 linear feet) into width of a given roof section. Multiply number of ribs per panel by rib area to find stretchout area for coating purposes. Rib Length 4 In Flattened width (stretchout) = 4 or 0.3 ft

9 Facility Stretchout Panel Ribs Area Calculations ft 100 ft A Rib orientation 196 ft A: Ribs Stretchout = 6,000 sq ft B: Ribs Stretchout = 7,399 sq ft C: Ribs Stretchout: 3,200 sq ft D: Ribs Stretchout: 15,149 sq ft 177 ft ft 325 B 48 ft 50 ft D ft 179 ft C Rib orientation Rib orientation 160 ft Rib orientation 325 ft Section A Calculations: Each panel is 3.25 feet wide thus in 146 ft = 146/3.25 = 45 panels. 4 ribs per panel time 45 panels = 180 ribs. (1/3 of a linear foot wide times 100ft long rib) x 180 ribs = 6,000 sq ft stretchout. Section B Calculations: 100 ft wide divided by 3.25 (width per panel) for # of Panels =31 panels times 4 ribs per panel = 124 ribs. 124 ribs times [1/3 of a ft for width of rib x 179 ft long = 60 sq ft] = 7,399 sq ft stretchout. Section C Calculations:48ft/3.25 = 15 panels. 15 x 4 = 60 ribs x (1/3ft x 160ft) = 3,200 sq ft Section D Calculations: 177/3.25 = 54 panels across 177 feet. 4 ribs per panel times 54 panels = 216 ribs. 216 ribs x [4in x 210.4ft) = 216 x 70 sq ft = 15,149 sq ft.

10 Contract True Area Total Roof Area: 77,350 sq ft + Total Stretchout area: 31,748 sq ft Gross Area to Coat: 109,098 sq ft Subtract ribs area concealed by rib overlap from panel to panel. Half the panels overlap one rib thus ( ) = 145 ribs. Overlap area 7, sq ft to be subtracted from total area. Adjusted total area to coat is: 109,098-7, = 101, sq ft Total gallons: 1 gal per 100 sq ft per coat need 1.5 coats per 100 sq ft for 101, sq ft = 1,518 gal. To meet manufacturers minimum unit order of 25 gals 1525 gals need to be ordered instead of 1518.

11 Facts about Heat And Roof Leaks. Roofs carry 46% (avg) of a building s heat burden. In sunbelt states, roofs will hit 200 degrees,100 times a year. At 200 degrees, a 400 ft long metal roof will stretch 2 inches in a phenomenon known as Roof Thermal Shock. Thermal Shock, the major cause of roof leaks, turns sealant to dust, causes fasteners to loosen, enables wind to lift panels because fasteners are already loosened, vent flashing to separate, ridges to fracture and roof supporting infrastructure to weaken. Solar energy combined with acid rain leads to accelerated destruction of the roof surface.

16 Polarhide Reviewed. 1. Polarhide is impervious to water. 1. Polarhide reflects, emits, and insulates against 89% of roof heat. Your workers will notice the coolness at the hottest times of the year. 1. Polarhide is chemically inert by design. No microorganism (moulds etc) growth. 1. Polarhide degrades at the rate of one mil in ten years while other roof coatings (latex, elastomeric, acrylic) lose one or two mils each year. 1. Polarhide has five to tenfold the durability of latex, acrylic or elastomeric roof coatings.

17 Cool Coating A Roof Cool coating a roof with Polarhide will: End Roof Thermal Shock the major source of roof leaks. Extend the life of the roof by as many years as there is a warranty for the coating. Prevents employee heat sickness in metal roofed manufacturing facilities that are not air-conditioned. Heat inside manufacturers facilities causes a drop in worker s ability to do basic measurements in peak heat. (NASA extensive study). Peak heat also causes large fans to heat workers instead of cooling them. Reduce maximum roof temp from degrees to degrees. Reducing utility bills 10-45%. Reduces AC maintenance and unit replacement costs due to less stress on cooling systems.

18 Polarhide And Fire Control. Underneath this 8,000 sq ft roof, a fire erupted engulfing the interior. The purlins could not even be removed they were so twisted by the heat. Polarhide held firm despite the heated metal. Polarhide does not allow sparks or embers. Our customer forced the insurance company to use our coating rather than insurance company s standardized repair solution. White Ash core 30 sq ft, Black burn area 500 sq ft, Damage area total about 1,000 sq ft out of 8,000.

20 Benefits Of Polarhide Polarhide is impervious to water including sustained imperviousness underwater for decades. Your AC d buildings will see AC Electrical usage drop by 15-45%. Metal buildings will have interior temperatures within 5 degrees of ambient temperature with Polarhide. 50,000 sq ft roofed buildings experience the cave effect and can see more reduced temperatures via Polarhide s passive cooling. Sometimes compared to AC by staff. Roof surface runoff is permanently encapsulated. This keeps zinc out of your groundwater. Thermal Shock, the main source of roof leaks and general roof decline, is ended. Roof life is extended for decades. Polarhide is warranted for 20 years. Roof replacement costs postponed for decades.

21 Contract Value Calculations To fully coat and seal 101,192 sq ft requires 1,525 gallons of Polarhide and other materials plus four men spraying for 7 days or eight men rolling for 12 days plus per diem. These are all included in the cost below. The lowest cost per sq ft we can achieve is $1.85 per q ft. This price is comparable with a 4 times larger roof system we did 4 years ago which went out at $1.75 per sq ft. Considering all the global cost changes in every aspect of our business in the past four years we see this as a very fair price for the job. We hope you agree.
