Imper-Guard M System: waterproofing coating for metal roof systems

Coating system for metal roof system restoration

The Imper-Guard M System includes a range of cutting-edge coating products for metal roof systems and an application procedure to extend the lifespan of roofs. The metal roof system will remain waterproof in the most challenging weather conditions, even on very large industrial or commercial buildings.

As well as being reliable, Imper-Guard waterproofing solutions are environmentally friendly. Making your facilities as waterproof and durable as possible improves their energy efficiency, and extending the lifespan of the roof system reduces the amount of waste that gets sent to landfills. Opting for Imper-Guard products is definitely more environmentally friendly than ripping everything out and starting over!

The benefits of the Imper-Guard system

Cost-effective repair

With Imper-Guard products, metal and low slope systems can be restored durably for three to four times less than a renovation project. The financial gain also goes beyond the cost of the work itself, because there is a direct impact on the value of your building.

You stop wasting time and money on water leaks. You stop absorbing expenses related to broken equipment or product storage. You protect the entire building and the insulation before they’re damaged.

Fast, risk-free repair

Restoration with Imper-Guard products is very simple and completely flameless. All our products are available quickly and the restoration takes much less time than rebuilding.

Everything is done from the outside, with minimal equipment required. There’s no need for dumpsters, so the work takes up very little space. What’s more, the applicator’s presence will not affect your operations.

Long-lasting repair

Imper-Guard products for metal and low slope elastomer roofs have proven ultra-reliable waterproofing, high elasticity, and anti-corrosion properties. That’s why they’re covered by warranties of up to 20 years on materials and workmanship.

Furthermore, if the coating breaks accidentally, it can be repaired easily without affecting its durability or waterproofing capabilities. As long as your Imper-Guard warranty remains in force, repairs are done free of charge.
