5 Premium Membrane Systems Specially Formulated For Metal Roofs. Up To 43% Of Leaky Metal Roofs Can Be Saved Using Topcoat Liquid-Applied Membrane Systems! For more than 30 years, To p c o a t SeamFree membrane systems have saved building owners millions of dollars in roof replacement costs. In fact, we ve found that nearly half (43%) of leaky metal roofs can be saved using the To p c o a t System. To p c o a t is a seam-free membrane that is manufactured on your roof. Unlike some miracle-in-a-can coatings, the To p c o a t system (i.e., preparation, flashing, and membrane) results in a new protective weathering surface added to your existing metal roofing system as much as 90 mils thick! If you have a leaky metal roof, or if you need to add an aesthetic coating to a new metal roof, our certified contractors can evaluate whether To p c o a t Systems will work on your roof often at half the cost (or less) of a new roof. 3 Easy Steps To A Comprehensive Liquid-Applied Membrane Roofing System Step 1-Prep Step 2-Seal Step 3-Coat Existing roof is thoroughly cleaned All seams, fasteners, and penetrations are sealed Topcoat coatings are applied 4

Changing weather and environmental conditions, aging, and temperature swings take a toll on any roof system, but are extremely damaging to metal roofs. The only way to assure a long-lasting, leak-free metal roof is with preventive maintenance, including a waterproofing liquid-applied membrane. To p c o at premium liquid-applied membranes help prevent the ravages of UV degradation, while sealing joints and seams that expand and contract during the normal thermal cycling of a metal roof. Installing a liquid-applied flexible flashing material that adapts to the shock of thermal cycling helps prevent deterioration at vulnerable areas. Where budget constraints are an issue or emergency repairs are required, stop leaks by sealing joints, seams, and flashings with Flashing Grade and Topester fabric (see photo at below). This system provides a strong water tight foundation for a future coating application and qualifies for a 2 year Diamond Pledge Guarantee.* For long lasting guaranteed performance, fully restore and prevent further damage with a complete liquid-applied membrane system covered by a Diamond Pledge Guarantee* available from 5 to 20 years. *See Diamond Pledge Guarantee for complete coverage and restrictions To p c o at liquid-applied sealants and flashing can be strategically placed at fastener heads, seams, and joints or used over the entire roof to limit damage from thermal movement. Products like To p c o at FlexSeal sealant used in conjunction with a liquid-applied membrane system help assure the long-lasting durability of roof and gutter systems. 5

13 Save Energy, Save Money... And Help Preserve The Environment With Topcoat Systems! The magnitude of cost savings from a white roof can be staggering. The U.S. Department of Energy s Oak Ridge National Laboratory provides a convenient method for estimating the cost savings of a white roof. Depending on your location, an energy-saving Topcoat roof could offset as much as 30, 50, 70%, or more of the original cost to install the roof! On a sunny, summer day, a black roof can reach temperatures in excess of 170 F! On the same day, the highly reflective white surface of a Topcoat roof can be as low as 110 F! As a result, much less solar radiation is transmitted through the roof and into your facility. With energy prices on the rise, why get saddled with an energy-wasting black roof when you can install an energy-efficient Topcoat roof instead? Estimated Energy Savings Of A 50,000 Ft 2 Topcoat Roof Over 15 Years* (Based On Data From Oak Ridge National Labs, U.S. Dept. Of Energy) Chicago, IL Sacramento, CA $10,500 New York, NY $62,250 $45,000 Miami, FL $66,750 Houston, TX $45,000 * Energy savings estimates are based on energy and fuel cost data provided by ORNL web site at the time of print and does not take into consideration energy cost fluctuations over time. Assumptions used in the savings calculations include: R-value of 19; infrared emittance of 89; COP of 2; in total solar reflectance of 81%; average heating system and A/C system efficiency. The results are examples age of building, geographical locations, your exact energy/fuel costs as well as other factors will affect your specific situation.
