Profitable, easy-to-apply, trouble-free
Conklin’s family of “green” roofing systems put more green in your pockets
Conklin roofing products are high quality and long-lasting. Since 1977, over two billion square feet of Conklin roofing systems have been applied throughout the U.S. – with many still on the job!
Today, our ENERGY STAR-rated, white acrylic roofs are more in demand than ever because they save building owners cooling costs and they can help building owners qualify for “green” government tax credits/rebates. Conklin contractors are busier and earning more than ever.
Coating Systems
Fabric Reinforced Coating Systems
These lightweight, systems can be used for both new and retrofit applications. They provide a tough yet flexible, seamless, light-colored surface that reflects harmful UV rays – increasing their lifespan. These highly profitable systems are:
- Versatile. They adhere to a wide range of substrates including board stock and ISO board.
- Easy and fast to apply. Fabric immersed in acrylic coating is applied to reinforce seams – where leaks tend to occur. A liquid-applied base and top coating then seals the roof in a durable, waterproof barrier.
- Low startup and overhead costs.
Metal Roof (MR) Restoration Systems
Conklin’s Metal Roof (MR) Restoration System is the perfect solution for the billions of square feet of leaky, rusting metal roofs out there in need of serious help. Instead of replacing or repairing panels, you can spray apply a complete waterproofing system that saves energy, protects for years and builds your bottom line.
- Easy, four-step application:
- treat existing rust
- apply a rust-inhibiting primer
- treat fasteners with caulk and seams with fabric embedded in coatings
- seal the roof in a white, Energy Star-rated, durable Conklin coating.
- Low startup and overhead costs.
EPDM/ Modified Bitumen (Mod.Bit)/Built-up Roof (BUR) Coating Systems
More and more building owners recognize the tremendous advantages white, acrylic roofs have over traditional black tar and rubber roofs such as energy savings. And they’re giving their jobs to contractors who do, too. By applying one of our lightweight, white, Energy Star-rated coatings – often directly on top of these old, black rubber roofs* – you reduce your labor costs and boost your profits.
- Easy application. Simply clean and prime the surface, reinforce seams and apply a Conklin base and top coat.
- Low startup and overhead costs
*Adhesion test is required. Check with your local code agency as well as with Conklin Technical Services.
Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) and Coating Systems
Cash in on your share of the profits from applying one of today’s hottest, most effective “green” building products. Foam’s closed cell structure stops air infiltration, the chief culprit of most energy loss. Spray one of Conklin’s reflective coatings on top for the ultimate protection and energy savings.
- Apply quickly and easily, saving you time and money.
- Can eliminate the need for labor-intensive tear-off and disposal.*
- Fully adhere to most roofing surfaces and compensate for damaged substrate and poor drainage.
*Adhesion test is required. Check with your local code agency as well as with Conklin Technical Services.
Membrane Systems
Single Ply Membrane Systems
These high performance systems form an extremely durable, flexible, energy-efficient barrier that can be applied in almost all climates and seasons. So you can generate income almost year-round. They’re ideal for protecting buildings that endure extremely harsh environments (frequent high winds, recurring hail storms, extreme temperatures or chemical exposure).
- Relatively easy application: Membrane rolls are overlapped and heat welded together to form a tough, impenetrable shield.
