Western Colloid provided the roofing system for eighteen department stores. Each building had over 50% of the roof area covered with a new solar system on them but the majority of the buildings’ substrate was old worn TPO with a few EPDM roofs. Another challenge was some buildings were in areas with dew and water drip off over 200 days per year.
Additional challenges were:
Traditionally, most re-roof projects would have required removing the solar, removing the TPO and installing a new roof and re-installing the solar, but with the fluid applied solution the contractor avoided the nightmare in logistics and a substantial increase in price.
The contractor was able to avoid removing the solar and with the Western Colloid FARR system they were able to install a permanent seal around the roof penetrations.
The project installation images shown here reflect that the FARR system was the right solution for these challenging buildings.
