Summary

To roof or not to roof that is the question. As markets expand and the limits of technology shrink

we begin to see opportunities all around us. If you’re a chemical or equipment manufacture, distributor or supplier, consultant or contractor…you each have a part in the beginning and the end of a project.

When it comes to roofing materials, technology hasn’t always been at the forefront. It has been

more about simple and cheap… but that is changing rapidly, especially in urban settings. The roof is now an expensive piece of real estate that host many parties, pools, and gardens.

Governmental regulations have been changing pushing for lower VOC’s. Some cities make it close

to impossible to use torches and kettles.

Designers and developers have pushed the boundaries of construction adding very complicated

design features and requirements.

All of these changes are affecting the materials being used to “roof” the structure. Many of the

new design features and requirements are exceeding the limitations of historically “go to products”.

I’m going to take you thru some of the demands that are changing the landscape of the roofing

industry and how polyurea falls into that world for the Good & the Bad!
