Case Study on an Aged BUR Roof
Harbor Freight
Size: 266,200 SF
Location: Camarillo, CA
Contractor: Cabral Roofing & Waterproofing
System: National Coatings AcryPly® Acrylic and Emulsion System
Challenge: Aged BUR Roof 20+ Years Old
- Large roof area with more than 50 documented leaks
- Occupied building
- Employees inside could not be disrupted during installation
- Crowded HVAC units in equipment well
- Hundreds of existing skylights of different sizes, many of which were the source of leaks
Solution: AcryPly® Acrylic and Emulsion System
- Fully reinforced system that stopped 100% of the leaks
- Occupants inside the building were unaffected by the installation
- AcryPly System does not require a roof tear-off, saving the building owner money
- Improved energy efficiency and lowered air temperature inside the building
- The AcryPly System was able to conform to the various size of each skylight to ensure a watertight roof
After numerous man hours spent chasing leaks and thousands of dollars on repairs, National Coatings delivered Harbor Freight with a long-term solution without a costly tear-off. The AcryPly Emulsion Restoration System is a watertight, seamless roof that is easily maintainable with energy savings, lower life-cycle costs, and a cooler work environment inside the building.
"After the National Coatings' Cool Roof was installed we definitely noticed a difference in building temperature. It's not a marginal difference, either. It is between 15-20 degrees cooler inside the warehouse and store." - Jerry Moore, Facilities Director at Harbor Freight Tools
