Leak Proof Warranties

Fabric System on Granualted Modified Bitumen
& Cap Sheet Roof

Each job must be approved by Southeastern Coatings before the job begins in order to receive the Labor & Material Warranty.

1.0 SCOPE
The intention of this specification is to outline the procedures for the application of Southeastern Coatings reflective roof coatings for the purpose of coating Granulated Modified Bitumen and Cap Sheet Roof surfaces. These suggested specifications describe materials, methods and conditions necessary for the proper application of Southeastern Coatings.

2.2 Delivery and Storage

2.2.1 Materials shall be delivered in their original, tightly sealed containers or unopened packages, all clearly labeled with the manufacturer's name, file number, and lot numbers.

2.2.2 Materials shall be stored out of the weather in their original tightly sealed containers or unopened containers as recommended by the manufacturer.

3.0 SURFACE PREPARATION

3.1 Preparation shall include all requirements specified by Southeastern Coatings, to ensure proper adhesion of the Southeastern Coatings products to the existing substrate.

3.2 Preparation shall include but not limited to the following:

3.2.1 All unnecessary and non-functional equipment and debris shall be removed from the roof.

3.2.2 Substrate must be pressure-washed. A minimum working pressure of 3,000 psi shall be used to remove all dirt, dust, previous paints & coatings which are delaminating as well as waste products (oil, oil-based roof cements, solvents, grease, animal fats, etc).

3.2.3 HVAC condensate drains shall be properly routed to roof drains or plumbed off the roof.

3.2.4 Wet roof insulation and damaged membranes are to be removed and replaced as necessary to match existing specified material. A moisture survey is recommended to determine the extent of moisture in the roof system.

3.2.5 All ponds that hold water over 1" for more than 48 hours should be mechanically removed by installing drains or crickets to move water.

4.0 COATING APPLICATION

4.1 Examine substrate to receive roof coating. Do not proceed with installation of Southeastern Coatings until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected in a manner acceptable.

4.2 Southeastern Coatings' fabric should be installed using FABRIC BOND 930 and 44" rolls of our polyester stitch bonded fabric. Lay the fabric out on the dry roof and pour the FABRIC BOND 930 out onto the fabric and use rollers and roof brooms to push the FABRIC BOND 930 into the fabric making sure there are no fish-mouths and the fabric lays as flat as possible. Fabric must cover entire roof. The FABRIC BOND 930 will penetrate the fabric and adhere to the roof substrate. Coverage rate for the FABRIC BOND 930 is approximately 2.5 - 3 gallons per 100 square feet.

4.2.1 Seal Flashing penetrations and parapet walls in the same manner using 4" up to 44" fabric depending on the area of need. Use the FABRIC BOND 930 or ACRYLIC 210 to adhere the fabric to the roof. Allow 24-72 hours for coating to dry underneath the fabric before proceeding with top coats.

4.3 Apply two coats of ACRYLIC 210 at a rate of 1 to 1 1/2 gallons per 100 sq feet per coat. Average total dry thickness is 25 to 35 mills total

4.4 Apply ACRYLIC CLEAR GLOSS 230 elastomeric coating (optional) at a rate of 250 square feet per gallon. ACRYLIC CLEAR GLOSS 230 helps keep the surface clean thereby reducing maintenance costs. Each coat must be allowed to cure for 24 - 48 hours depending on humidity and temperature. The roof is to be inspected for defects, flaws or holidays and repaired if necessary before a subsequent coat is applied.

5.0 APPLICATION RATES

5.1 5-year warranty: ACRYLIC 210 (2 gal./100 sq.ft.) 1 primer, 2 finish coats (20 dry mils average).

5.2 10-year warranty: ACRYLIC 210 (3 gal./100 sq.ft.) 1 primer, 3 finish coats (30 dry mils average).

6.0 RESTRICTIONS / LIMITATIONS

6.1 This system is to be used only in conjunction with commonly accepted roofing standards but not limited to the following:

6.1.1 No application of materials shall commence during inclement weather or when precipitation is imminent. No thinning of materials is permitted.

6.1.2 No materials are to be applied to wet, dirty, or frozen surfaces.

6.1.3 No materials are to be applied at temperatures below 40° F.

6.1.4 No materials are to be applied at ambient air temperatures above 100° F.

6.1.5 No materials are to be applied at relative humidity levels above 90%.

6.1.6 In conjunction with the final inspection, all debris, containers, materials and equipment are to be properly removed from the job site. Grounds are to be cleaned undamaged and acceptable to the owner.
