CA_Lottery_Overview_Pic-resized-600

Size: 177,500 Square Feet
Location: Sacramento, California

CA_Lottery_Before_2-resized-600
Challenge - Severely Deteriorating, Leaking Roof
  • 10 year old failing PVC membrane.
  • Numerous cracks and badly crazed.
  • Over 250 documented leaks.
  • Provide a sustainable roofing system with excellent adhesion and resistance to plasticizer, (a key component in PVC roofing membranes that prevents cracking) migration.
Solution - AcryPly® Restoration System  
  • Seamless, energy efficient roofing system featuring a fully adhered, leak free 120 mil membrane.
  • Evening installation with heavy dew that CA_Lottery_After_2deposited on the roof during the evening was completed using AcryShield Quick Set roof coating.
  • Costly recover or tear-off was not required; repairs and coating were completed at only a fraction of the cost of a recover roof.
  • Substantial energy savings. 

With their new National Coatings AcryPly Cool Roof System, California Lottery Commission has restored a severely leaking PVC roof, avoided spending a substantial amount of money on a tear off and gained energy efficiency by reducing air conditioning costs and the production of greenhouse gases.

"The collaboration for the project with National Coatings was very helpful along the way. The change to the Quick Set product was accomplished on the fly an was a seamless effort due to the intimate association during the life cycle of the project. (Would not have been successful otherwise as the timing was at the very end of the season)."
- Anthony J. Berzinas, Facilities Project Manager at California Lottery Commission

BASE COATS 
  • AcryShield A602 is a quick-set base coat for single-ply substrates. This high performance base coat has the technology to coat directly over hard to coat substrates such as Hypalon, TPO, and EPDM. A602 eliminates the need for a costly single-ply roof tear-off and removes the need for pre-treating an EPDM membrane with a caustic solution to obtain adequate adhesion.
  • AcryShield A603 is a water borne, quick set base coat for surfaces such as Concrete, BUR, Mod Bit, and Asphalt Emulsion. A603 provides superior protection against ponded water.

What is the Ideal Weather Condition for Roof Maintenance using Acrylic Roof Coatings?

Posted by Nicole Gale on Tue, Apr 22, 2014 @ 11:00 AM

roof maintenanceWhen applying a roof maintenance system over your existing roof, the preferred weather conditions are dry with low humidity. While these conditions are the ideal conditions, using an AcryShield Quickset product can allow for added application time during high humidity, light rain and heavy dew.

National Coatings recommends checking the projected weather forecast to insure no rain is predicted for the immediate future. It is important to allow for plenty of time to permit the coatings to set and cure guaranteeing a monolithic, leak-free surface. Roof maintenance systems should be applied in temperatures exceeding 50F to avoid curing issues and freezing. Wind should be minimal when spray applying as each square foot requires a certain amount of roof coating thickness to provide optimal protection and coverage to your building. Windscreens can be used to avoid over-spray to near-by buildings and parking lots.

While some coatings are not recommended in high humidity, light rain or heavy dew, National Coatings has a line of Quickset base coats and top coats that provide excellent resistance to early wash-off during these conditions. A surface tension is created, allowing for a greater window of opportunity to complete your roof maintenance job. For more information on these Quickset products, download our FREE Quickset Brochure and find out how you can benefit from one of these coatings that provide optimum adhesion to Asphalt, Single-Ply, Metal, SPF and Concrete roofing.
