FARR = Fluid Applied Reinforced Roofing

SEAMLESS – TOUGH – FLEXIBLE
Western Colloid’s FARR – Fluid Applied Reinforced Roofing Systems – Are lightweight yet tough, with flexible membranes that are primarily applied directly over existing roof systems.  Some are formed with layers of highly waterproof asphalt emulsion and tough polyester fabric then surfaced with an extremely durable acrylic coating.  Other systems are fully comprised of high performance acrylic coatings with tough polyester fabrics.  All these components are fluid applied in the field to form a seamless membrane.

OUR FARR SYSTEMS
Consist of membranes that are installed “in place” using highly durable, water based, waterproofing compounds reinforced with tough polyester fabrics and surfaced with energy saving reflective coatings. Once installed the seamless monolithic system is tough, flexible and resistant to the extremes of nature. We use Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.), FM Global and independent testing labs to continually test our Systems and Products to be sure they meet the stringent requirements of today’s building industry. Our systems are designed to be installed directly over existing roof systems or as a new membrane on new construction.

    Many of our FARR systems have received UL Class A ratings. “Class A” roof assemblies have the greatest fire resistance. Additionally, many of our systems have also received FM 4470 Class 1 approval. To achieve this designation, the system is subjected to strenuous testing for fire, hail damage, water leakage, and resistance to foot traffic.
