Roofing Systems
When KRI starts a job, we don't stop until the project is structurally and aesthetically complete. That means every detail, right down to the gutters, soffit and fascia.
Kato Roofing, Inc. works with all types of roofing systems from major material suppliers such as Firestone, Carlisle and GAF.
KRI is proficient in the installation and maintenance of:
- EPDM - Rubber single ply systems
- TPO
- PVC
- Built-up Asphalt
- Modified Bitumen
- Tapered Insulation Systems
- Standing Seam Roofing Systems
- Pre-finished Steel
- Aluminum
- Copper
- Galvanized Steel
- Coatings
- Green Roofs
Rubber (EPDM)
Worldwide, EPDM is the most popular type of roofing for both new and reroof low-slope applications. It is durable, extremely versatile and easy for roofing professionals to install, maintain and repair.
Description: EPDM roofing systems are based on a high-performance synthetic rubber compound, available in black or white. Advantages include high strength, low weight and outstanding thermal expansion and contraction characteristics.
Methods of installation: EPDM can be fully adhered, mechanically attached, or ballasted.
Durability: EPDM membranes have a 30-year record of proven weatherability in all types of climates. They are waterproof, highly resistant to ultraviolet deterioration and well-suited to applications ranging from office buildings to warehouses to hospitals and schools.
Built-up (BUR)
BUR is a durable roofing system made from multiple layers of asphalt and fiberglass "felts". The redundancy of a multi-layered system provides greater puncture resistance and protection against leaks. Asphalt works well as both an adhesive to bond the felts together and as a water resistant material to prevent moisture penetration. KRI uses manufacturer-designed base, ply and cap sheets, along with the proper installation tools, to provide the highest quality asphalt-based roofs.
Thermoplastic Poly Olefin (TPO)
Thermoplastic single-ply roofing membranes are among the fastest growing commercial roofing products and have gained broad industry acceptance for their many performance and installation advantages. At a time of increasing demand for more energy efficient roofing systems, TPO single-ply membranes offer high reflectance qualities to reduce cooling costs and the urban heat effect. TPO has exceptional resistance to ultraviolet, ozone and chemical exposure. It can be installed in a mechanically attached or fully adhered application and is available in white, tan and grey.
Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC)
PVC is a "rigid" thermoplastic that relies on plasticizers for flexibility and additives for UV protection. As a thermoplastic, it can be heat welded at seams to produce a continuous roofing surface. PVC sheets are made in different ways. The best manufacturers use high quality plasticizers and have established a record of superior performance. The material is frequently specified for restaurants due to its grease resistant qualities. PVC is available in a number of colors and may include ribbing to give the appearance of a standing-seam metal roof.
Modified Bitumen
Modified Bitumen is a single-ply membrane consisting of asphalt with added plasticizers for flexibility and a reinforcing scrim for strength. It is most commonly installed in two or more layers. Its flexibility is well-suited for use in flashings or when installed as a cap sheet for a built-up roof system. Modified Bitumen is also an excellent candidate for high-traffic roof areas and features a granular surface available in multiple colors.
Coatings
The roofing industry utilizes a number of elastomeric coatings, ranging from acrylic to urethane. Coatings can be quickly applied to asphalt, EPDM, PVC or other membranes to extend the useful life of the roof by 10 plus years. They can provide additional waterproofing for surfaces such as a metal or increase the reflectivity of a membrane to help reduce cooling costs. Today's coating systems offer substantial savings to contractors and building owners by using technology to maximize roof performance and lower labor expenses.
