In this episode of CoatingsTalk, host Megan Ellsworth is joined by Greg Hlavaty with Western Colloid to talk about treating fluid-applied roof systems as a membrane. In modern roofing and waterproofing applications, fluid-applied roofing systems have become increasingly popular due to their seamless application, durability and adaptability. These systems are often compared to traditional membrane systems, but a growing industry perspective is to treat fluid-applied systems as membranes themselves — not just coatings. This shift in mindset has significant implications for design, installation, performance expectations and long-term maintenance strategies.

In this CoatingsCoffeeShop® Coffee Conversations, sponsored by APOC, we'll explore why roof restoration is one of the smartest ways contractors can diversify their offerings — especially during economic slowdowns.  With building owners hesitant to take on a costly tear off and replacement during uncertain economic times,, restoration offers a lower-cost alternative. Contractors can still deliver 5- to 20-year system warranties to their customers without the cost of a full roof replacement. Whether you're starting maintenance agreements, walking roofs to uncover hidden opportunities or helping building owners cut summer cooling costs with reflective cool roofs, restoration helps you expand your market and be your customer's hero.   Learn More at  https://www.coatingscoffeeshop.com/     Sign up for the Week in Coatings!  https://www.coatingscoffeeshop.com/sign-up      Are you a contractor looking for resources?
