Consider a Metal Membrane Retrofit!

Solve your Metal Roof Problems with a Membrane Retrofit

  • ·       Seam and fastener problems.
  • ·       Cracks and leaks around penetrations.
  • ·       Rust and corrosion.
  • ·       Interior drips from condensation.

 If you’re witnessing some or all these symptoms of an aging metal roof on your building, it’s time to consider taking care of them permanently – with a single-ply membrane retrofit roofing system from Tusing Builders & Roofing Services.

Over time, standing seam metal roofs take a beating from the elements – primarily the result of thermal expansion and contraction. Because metal roofs are made of rigid sheets fastened together, this expanding and contracting loosen screws, pulls at seams, and causes cracks to form around stacks and other penetrations. And if it’s not insulated properly, warmer moisture vapor inside the building can condense as water or frost on the underside of steel roofing panels. This condensation effect can cause dripping inside, even when the weather is dry outside.

Better than short-term coatings and much less expensive than a complete roof replacement is a single-ply membrane metal retrofit system. These systems are installed right over the existing roof deck and include additional layers of insulation to improve energy efficiency and eliminate interior drips. A single-ply retrofit can protect your building against rain, temperature changes, interior drips, ice build-up, as well as rust and corrosion. It can be installed at a fraction of the cost of a replacement metal roof – without disrupting your day-to-day operations.
