"The Original Liquid Applied Rubber Roof Shield System" TM

"We are a cooperative manufacturer and gaurantee the associated products and systems installed" to date we are the only roof coating manufacturing firm world wide that has a liquid a acrylic applied to an exiting tile roof that has had this unequivocal Tas-106 Pull Uplift exam and the associated results.

The questions the customer should ask because they do not want to have to continually repair the roof or undertake a complete roof or wall restoration replacement:

A. Roof paint or mastic manufacturers that claim thier products waterproof or are hurricane proof.

B. Does your insurance or mortgage company need you to reroof or prove additional roof life.

C. White reflective elastomeric roof paint coating to save on energy bills or to stop roof leaks.

The Original Liquid Applied Rubber Roof Shield System is the only roof coating system that has the Wind Resistance Rating Tech Data (Florida Code TAS-106)

A. Home Depote Roof Paint Coatings, Lanco Harris, Siliconizers, Somay Roof Mastic, Sherwin Williams, and Acrylux Mastics are suggested by these manufacturers not to be used in ponding water, "just read their warranty, " its called saturation. These are good products for painting walls or some types of roofs but they are not engineered to be used on flat roofs. Elastomeric is a process of manufacturing made by combining enamel and thickeners, "that is caulk" then you have to paint it, mastic is caulk, paint is paint and premium 100% Rubber is 100% Rubber which they are not. Place there products in the freezer they will snap because they are not designed to push all the water through even at their driest cure state, thats why ponding water is the real litmus test

Elastomerics Paint, "Mastics" were not designed to be waterproofing roofs, or below grade projects, limited rather to verticals (walls) that's because they hold a percentage of h2o in its film thickness after exposure to water then return back to its dry state. Water barrier Elastomeric Paints or Mastics require a third paint coat to protect it from damage from weathering, "protect the protectrant" doesn’t make much sense.additional coats every 3 to five years could be very costly, be certain to do the math and if your roof is considered a low slope tile roof or shingle roof we would not recommend their use because the restrictions on the performance data precludes prolonged submersion or negative drainage.

Claim to be hurricane Proof! or High Velocity Wind Zone Rated, what does that really mean, read on please...

1st of all what is your tile roof attachment to begin with , "the uplift pull on tile test"

THE "TAS-106" Dade County Approved "tile pull test" is required to be performed on all new tile roof replacement in Florida after the tiles are set. This is to test the real wind uplift resistance it actually has at the tiles, the first line of defense. New tile roof replacement requires a minimum of 35 lbs of lift in the fields and 55 pounds at the ridge caps, which is equal to about 120 TO 130 mph, if anything hits the roof the wind load does not have to be as much to dislodge the tiles.

Paint coatings mastics made locally today have this approval as the Dade County Standard

THE TAS-121. Miami Dade High Velocity Wind Zone Rated

Definition:: The structure of the buildings roof or wall has been tested to the minimum wind resistants standard levels at 130 MPH and is deemed "approved" within its own strenght design criteria before applying mastics, caulks, or elastomeric systems to exiting tile roofs or walls. It is not a pull test

Tas-121, Limitations, mastics are not to be applied to the tile roof tile head laps.

The value of certain Dade County Approvals are very important to note, read the Dade County approvals if any as well as the manufacturers warrantys and gaurantees very carefully . Many so called roof coating products saturate after prolonged exposure to the elements.

Roofprotect Rubber roof coating can be submerged under water for prolonged periods without subsequent damage due to saturation of the coating. great for flat roofs.

FACT:
1. The complete Roof Shield System utilizing Roofprotect products is the only tile paint sealant coating process to have a TAS-106 official wind up lift tested. The strength rating results were 100lbs of lift resistance and on tile roofs, which is = to 300 mph wind pressures, another words the roof will come off at the hip or the gable before the tile are breached.
2 .All Surface Restorations & Preservations Inc. installed Roofprotect products through its licensed applicators the Trademarked Roof Shield System on all of jobsites listed on its references pages.
3. The only paint coating system that warrantees the exiting roof tile attachment to up to cat 5 after the Roof Shield System utilizing Roofprotect products are applied to an exiting older cement tile, shingle, barrel tile roof.
4. Roofprotect roof acrylic paint sealant coating has a zero blistering test results after cure in prolonged submersion in water and the in the field o saturation documented on long term projects.
5. Lloyds of London has acknowledged All Surface Restorations and Preservations Inc. utilizing The Roof Shield System and Roofprotect products.

Fp&l Reflective roof contractor partner program rebate enrollment is not in effect at this time, primarily because the rebate checks distributed fund the participating contracting firms not the property owners, presenting quality control issues, which have been cause for some concern. The rebate of up to 50 cents per sq ft is calculated and based on the interior air conditioned space not including the eaves, overhang or garage. Fp&L can not warranty the workmanship or products. The contracting firm is to supply all gauranties and warranties. The 1500.00 tax incentive rebate is still applicable under reflective roof systems. See the link on the home page," Energy Tax Credit." 2). SIMPLY use only quality reflective roof measures whenever and wherever possible to save on cooling your costs.

. By applying a paint or Elastomeric to your tiles does not necessarily make your roof seamless or monolithic at all points, can not stop leaks unless they are dug out and dried back in with conventional methods depending on where they are located, especially (tie ins), where two roofs join together which is a structual issue. 1). Applying a coating to seal the roof and stop roof leaks requires an installation of a monolithic coat over every sq inch of the surface of the roof first APPLYING a completely seamless layer and then additional flexable coatings

See How It's Done

. Energy Star reflective roof products should require additional detailed documentation of installation work actually undertaken by the roof painting contractors and better disclosure of the product manufacturers records to verify that roofs were installed with their specific named products on them,( for no less than a 3 year period, prior to a certified slit sample removal of the weathered product and supposed jobsites in question).

In spite of the challenges presented with the reflective roof rebate program, "Energy Star Approved Roof Coatings" participating contractors receive up to a 50 cents per sq ft incentive to apply white roof systems on your roof,

FACT:

The complete Roof Shield System utilizing Roofprotect products has the wind lift tested strength rating results of 100lbs TO 180ILBS of lift resistance which provides the confidence that it will perform as stated.Remember the formula, Each 35 POUNDS of lift pressure is = to 100 mph wind pressures, another words the roof will come off at the hip before the tiles are breached, see our exam, click on the blue link UPLIFT TEST, TAS-106.
The Roof Shield System utilizing Roofprotect products were undertaken on all of jobsites listed on its references pages and our company holds the original contracts for the those jobsite testimonials,

. Increases the exiting roof tile attachment up to a cat 5 after the Roof Shield System utilizing Roofprotect products are applied to an exiting older cement tile, shingle,or barrel tile roof.

Roofprotect roof acrylic coating that has a zero blistering test results after cure in prolonged submersion in water and o saturation documented on long term projects in the field.

Lloyds of London has acknowledged All Surface Restorations & Preservations Inc., the Roof Shield System.

How to calculate the rate at which any Elastomeric system should be applied depends on the manufacturers specifications, NAMELY the thickness of the dried finish millage of the paint coating, (should be subject to a slit sampling to make sure).Data sheets help to calculate the required coverage ratio for thickness of the coatings after cure.


.FACT:******** Roofprotect products manufacturing firm that has the side by side documented still photo's, video footage, contracts of specific property's dated before the advent of the most recent hurricanes, of all the houses on the street missing roof tiles except the roof surfaces that had Roof Shield System previuosly applied to them. B. ******** Roofprotect products were installed prior to the advent of real hurricane force winds.The Roof Store site provides several commercial & residential shingle, cement tile, barrel tile, metal & flat built roofs previuosly sealed with the name address and phone number.

FACT:
Elastomeric paint manufacturers products specifically used on roofs can give their position on ponding water and what they will guarantee in writing. Our weatherproof products were derived from swimming pools and below grade projects and can provide uo to a 10 year Leak Free Warranty..
Manufactured waterproof paint products are 100% Acrylic resin, no clay or fillers are added.
Weatherproof products and systems have an additional hard coating or reinforcement layer that has proven testing to strengthen the exiting roof system by being all points monolithic and seamless.

FACT:
Elastomeric Paint or Mastics are generally known as water barriers requiring more maintenance such as recoating every 3 to 5 years, (additional paint layers added to protect the protection). It is important to aquire all performance claims in plain English from the manufacturer, what it is windproof, what is waterproof,what is hurricane proof, and what exactly is a weatherproof product and get it in writing.

Do you know what a real system warrantee looks like,t It should say two words: LEAK FREE for years and also transferable and renewable.The manufacturer & contractor must also state GUARANTEE with the exact same language or one could simply blame the other for failure of their system or product. Always get a copy of the warrantee and data sheet of the products being used and determine if they are both on it or not. It is a good idea to request a copy of the product liability from their warranty or bond company to back up the work and the forward looking statements like windproof weatherproof or hurricane proof roof coating.

NOTE:
  "Getting a free estimate painting your roof white"
Get you roof measured correctly, and documented in your contract and warranty, If it is not it could be a costly mistake for all concerned.
