Fluid-Applied Roofing for Repair and Renovation Article Published

July 2015 - Rick Thomas, Astec Regional Sales Director, recently wrote an article which is being published in the July 2015 issue of Private University Products and News Magazine.

"Leaking roofs are one thing which every private university facility management office has to contend with. Regardless of the building use (housing, academic, recreation or food service) roof leaks can cause interruptions, inconveniences and safety issues which cannot be tolerated and quickly become a top priority. The options for roof repair and re-roofing are numerous.

One option to consider for many roof problems is the installation of a fluid-applied roof... One of the biggest advantages of fluid-applied systems is that they are installed directly to the existing roof surface in multiple layers to renew the waterproofing properties of the substrate. This means substantially reducing the costs associated with extensive roof tear-off and mitigating the growing environmental impact of landfills." (read more)
