Roof restoration: what you can do this winter to be ready for spring<\/div>\n

The application season is over, but this is when good projects take shape. Whether the roof is a low-slope elastomeric membrane or metal, observing, documenting, scheduling the inspection at the right time and comparing equivalent quotes all happen before the first day on site.<\/p>\n

Restore or replace: the data that decides<\/div>\n

Replacement is often the default reflex when a roof starts showing signs of reaching the end of its service life. Yet what really decides isn’t the rust or the ceiling stain. It comes down to a few specific criteria, and one question few owners think to ask: how thick will the coating be applied?<\/p>\n

Reflective roofs: why replacement isn’t the only path to compliance<\/div>\n

Several Montreal boroughs require a reflective covering on low-slope roofs. The default response is often a new white sheet membrane. A cold-applied silicone restoration reaches the same target while keeping the existing roof in place.<\/p>\n

Times have changed: liquid roof coatings have a bad reputation, but it dates back 30 years<\/div>\n

Roofers’ skepticism toward liquid coatings goes back to products launched in the 2000s that shrank, oxidized or peeled off within two summers. The problem was never cold application, but the formulation. A look at what changed with the arrival of high-solids silicone, and at the limits that still rule a roof out.<\/p>\n

About Imper Guard<\/h3>\n

Imper Guard is a distributor of roof waterproofing and restoration products, serving Quebec, the Maritimes and Eastern Ontario.<\/p>\n

Our coatings and sealants are cold-applied and flame-free, and integrate with the existing roof system to renew its watertightness. They make it possible to restore a roof rather than replace it, with a 10- to 20-year manufacturer’s warranty certificate<\/strong> depending on the system and the thickness applied.<\/p>\n

Our products are installed by a network of certified applicators, and sold through our online store and by the pallet. Technical data sheets and safety data sheets are available for the entire product line.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
