5 Premium Membrane Systems Specially Formulated For Metal Roofs. Many Leaky Metal Roofs Can Be Saved Using Premium Membrane Systems! For more than 35 years, Premium Membrane Systems have saved building owners millions of dollars in roof replacement costs. Unlike some miracle-in-a-can coatings, the Premium Membrane System (i.e., preparation, flashing, and membrane) results in a new protective weathering surface added to your existing metal roofing system. If you have a leaky metal roof, or if you need to add an aesthetic coating to a new metal roof, our factory-certified contractors can evaluate whether the Premium Membrane System will work on your roof often at half the cost (or less) of a new roof. 3 Easy Steps * : Step 1-Prep Step 2-Seal Step 3-Coat Existing roof is thoroughly cleaned All seams, fasteners, and penetrations are sealed coating is applied 4 *See application instructions for complete instructions.

6 Premium Membrane System For Metal Roofs Membrane Finish Coat Membrane Base Coat Flashing Flashing Fabric Flashing Original Metal Roof * NOTE: Surface Seal SB and FlexSeal may be substituted (for Membrane and Flashing) for a solvent-based application. Why Do Metal Roofs Fail? Changing weather and environmental conditions, aging, and temperature swings take a toll on any roof system, but are extremely damaging to metal roofs. The best way to ensure a long-lasting, leak-free metal roof is with preventive maintenance, including a waterproofing liquid-applied membrane. Premium Membrane Systems help prevent the ravages of UV degradation while sealing joints and seams that expand and contract during the normal thermal cycling of a metal roof. Installing a liquid-applied flexible flashing material that adapts to the shock of thermal cycling helps prevent deterioration at vulnerable areas. Where budget constraints are an issue or emergency repairs are required, stop leaks by sealing joints, seams, and flashings with Flashing and Flashing Fabric (see photo below). This system provides a strong watertight foundation for a future coating application and qualifies for a 20-year Diamond Pledge NDL Roof Guarantee.* For long-lasting, guaranteed performance, fully restore and prevent further damage with a complete Premium Membrane System covered by a Diamond Pledge NDL Roof Guarantee* available up to 20 years. *See Diamond Pledge NDL Roof Guarantee for complete coverage and restrictions. Flashing and Sealants can be strategically placed at fastener heads, seams, and joints or used over the entire roof to limit damage from thermal movement. Products like FlexSeal sealant help to ensure the long-lasting durability of roof and gutter systems. 5

13 Save Energy & Save Money With Liquid-Applied Roofing Solutions! On a sunny, summer day, a black roof can reach temperatures in excess of 170 F! On the same day, the highly reflective white surface of a Liquid-Applied Roofing Solution can be as low as 110 F! As a result, much less solar radiation is transmitted through the roof and into your facility. With energy prices on the rise, why get saddled with an energy-wasting black roof when you can install an energy-efficient Liquid-Applied Roofing Solution instead? The magnitude of cost savings from a white roof can be staggering. The U.S. Department of Energy s Oak Ridge National Laboratory provides a convenient method for estimating the cost savings of a white roof. Depending on your location, an energy-saving coating could offset 30% or more of the original cost to install the coating! Estimated Energy Savings Of A 50,000 Ft 2 Roof Over 10 Years * (Based On Data From Oak Ridge National Labs, U.S. Dept. Of Energy) Sacramento, CA $22,000 Chicago, IL $11,500 New York, NY $14,500 Houston, TX $33,000 Miami, FL $46,500 * Energy savings estimates are based on energy and fuel cost data provided by ORNL website at the time of print and does not take into consideration energy cost fluctuations over time. Assumptions used in the savings calculations include: R-value of 19; infrared emittance of 89; COP of 2; in total solar reflectance of 81%; average heating system and A/C system efficiency. The results are examples age of building, geographical locations, and your exact energy/fuel costs as well as other factors will affect your specific situation.
