Go Green with a New Cool Roof System

The pressure is on for business owners to start going “green.” It seems that everywhere you look, people are making the smart decision to start thinking green. Business owners may even feel like they have more of a responsibility to make some changes to their business.

Certifications and Approvals

  • ENERGY STAR®
  • Underwriters Laboratory (UL)
  • US Green Building Council
  • Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC)
Going green has several great benefits that every business owner will enjoy. Not only are green choices better for the environment, but they are also a great way to reduce energy costs. Business owners who own commercial properties have an easy way to go green. All they have to do is look up!

Conklin Cool Roof Systems
There has never been an easier way to go green than with a Conklin cool roof system. The first and most notable difference in a Conklin cool roof coating is the color. Conklin roof coatings are white. The color white reflects heat. Therefore a Conklin roof system will reflect the heat from the sun away from the roof. This can have a huge impact on energy costs. It can and will lower energy costs the moment the roofing system is applied. In some cases roof temperatures can be reduced by as much as 100 degrees. Just think of how this would impact the energy costs of a business. A business that can significantly lower their energy costs will be operating in a more efficient and green manner.

A second strong benefit is that the Conklin roofing systems can extend the life of an existing roof for decades, eliminating tear-off costs and landfill disposal. A thick elastomeric roof coating is applied on top of the current roof surface after a thorough power washing with WAC II® for strong adhesion and leak-proof results.

Recognized by the EPA
Don’t take our word for it. Conklin’s cool roof systems are ENERGY STAR® compliant as recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency. The ENERGY STAR program has helped countless business owners all over the country make the green choice by highlighting products that help reduce energy consumption. Business owners, architects and contractors have come to rely on ENERGY STAR ratings to help them decide which materials would make the best choice for keeping energy costs down. Conklin’s white roofing systems are white on the outside, but they are an excellent green choice!

Getting to Know Conklin Rapid Roof III

Conklin® has numerous great roofing products that can help extend the life of a commercial roofing system. One of the premier roofing systems is called Rapid Roof III, and it lives up to its name. It allows contractors to quickly apply an entire roof coating that adds years of added protection to the roof in order to save the building owner money without effecting long-term durability. Let’s take a closer look at this great roofing product.

The Basics of Rapid Roof III
Rapid Roof III is an elastomeric, acrylic, monolithic roof coating, but what does all that mean exactly? Let’s look at each word a little closer to find out. Elastomeric refers to the Rapid Roof’s unique elastic like ability. The material can expand and contract during heat fluctuations. Acrylic refers to a product that is made from polymers or acrylates. Monolithic means that the roofing system is large, powerful and uniform.os1

Rapid Roof III comes in three colors. It can be applied in bright white for maximum efficiency, light tan, or light gray. All three color choices help to actively reflect light away from the roof. This helps keep energy costs down, and helps keep the entire building cooler.

Rapid Roof III has been designed to create a waterproof coating on metal roofs, membrane roofs, spray polyurethane foam, and Conklin’s Fabric Reinforced System.

Some Technical Specifications
Rapid Roof III is an ENERGY STAR® rated product as approved by the US Department of Energy. It has a UL-790 Class A fire rating, and it has been approved by the Cool Roof Ratings Council (CRRC).

One gallon of Rapid Roof III will cover 100 square feet of roofing, but the roof can’t be below 40 degrees during application; however, a separate Conklin coating can be used in cooler temperatures. Inclement weather must be avoided as well. It takes approximately 2-8 hours for Rapid Roof III to properly dry.

Rapid Roof III can reflect up to 85% of the sun’s solar energy. This is what makes Rapid Roof III such a great product for commercial roofs. It helps reduce the heat of the roof which results in energy savings.

It is easy to see why Conklin’s Rapid Roof III is becoming one of the most popular choices for contractors and roofing companies all over the United States. When you engage a Choice Roof Contractor, you get access to this superior roofing system as well as all other industry-trusted Conklin products.

The Answer to Saving Thousands of Dollars on Commercial Energy Costs is Right Above Your Head

It is no secret that business owners all over the country are looking for ways to save money. This is how business works. Any money that is being saved can be easily reinvested into the business and the business can continue to grow. What many business owners may not realize is that there is a very simple way to save a large amount of money every year, and it is sitting right above their heads. A simple change to your average commercial roof can add up to a huge amount of savings in a rather short amount of time.

Conklin’s Cool Roof System

thermal
Many commercial roofing systems consist of a flat roof with tar and rocks. These roofs get hot very quickly and they make it difficult on a building’s air conditioning system. Conklin’s cool roof systems, which we install all over the country, can change all of this. With one application, the entire roof temperature can be drastically reduced. This removes the unnecessary load on the air conditioning or refrigeration systems in commercial buildings and massively reduces energy costs! This is exactly what every single business owner wants and needs.

Extending Roof Life

Lower energy costs are not the only extremely valuable asset that Conklin roofing products bring to the table. A Conklin elastomeric roofing system can extend the life of a commercial roof by as much as 20 years. Business owners will no longer be facing costly roof repairs on an annual basis.

Once the coating is applied, the protection starts immediately. The unique roofing materials will coat the entire roof and prevent any leaks from starting. The roof also has the ability to expand and contract as temperatures outside start to fluctuate. Leaks are always a problem when this happens with traditional roofing systems. Gaps form and leaks start. Once the leaks start, it is a never ending battle trying to stop them from spreading throughout the entire building and causing excessive structural damage.

Saving money is all part of smart business. Who knew that saving a significant amount of money on annual commercial building energy costs was right above your head. A Conklin roofing system is the answer!

Put a Stop to Commercial Roof Leaks

At one time or another, every single business owner with a commercial building will eventually be faced with the problem of a leaky roof. This is not a problem that is easy to manage either. Due to the design of the traditional metal roof system and most other types of roofing, they are simply prone to leak over time.

Where Do the Leaks Spring Up?

You may be wondering if there are any specific areas of a commercial roof that are prone to leaking. The simple answer is yes. The more elaborate answer is found below. You will find roof leaks commonly show up in these places:

  • seams
  • fasteners
  • gutters
  • vents
  • air conditioning units
  • caps
  • flashing
  • skylights
  • access hatches

As you can see, there is not one square foot of roofing that is not susceptible to leaks. Once one leak is repaired, it is very likely that another leak will show up somewhere else. It quickly becomes a constant battle that just never seems to stop. If you happen to live in an area of the United States that endures a very wet climate or an annual rainy season, then you may already be facing the challenges associated with your commercial roof.

What Can You Do About It?

There are a few things that can be done about the leaks. You could just put buckets on the floor to catch all the leaks, but that would be a little counter-productive and will cost you more down the road to repair the roof and water damage. You have two other options that will work.

The Expensive Route

The more expensive option would be to replace the entire roof. This can be very costly, and it is only a temporary solution. In a few years, you will wind up facing the same battle again. If you have money to burn, then this might not be a bad idea. Most business owners don’t have money to burn. They are looking for a way to make money with their business, not spend it. That leaves one other choice to fix the constant leaky roof.

The Cost Effective Route

There is a cost effective alternative to replacing the entire roof system. The Conklin roof coatings we install add a protective layer to your existing roof. The roof coatings cover every possibility of leaks. There will be no place for water to get through, and the roof coating is guaranteed to protect everything underneath it for up to 18 years with a non-prorated warranty! With one of Conklin’s roof restoration systems, you can finally say goodbye to costly roof leaks!
