Retrofit Roof Solutions by Roof Hugger®
Retrofit Roof Solutions are designed for installing a new metal roof over an existing metal roof without removal. The space created between the old and new roofs presents an opportunity to add insulation for increased thermal efficiency. There are products for existing screw-down/exposed fastened metal roofs regardless of panel profile; existing trapezoidal or vertical rib standing seam roofs; existing corrugated roofs regardless of corrugation spacing; and for new thermally active through-fastened metal roof systems over any substrate. Systems have been Factory Mutual and Florida Product Approved as well as wind load tested in accordance to stringent industry standards.

SecurShield HD Composite is a continuous above deck insulation for use on combustible decks in new or retrofit applications. It consists of a closed cell, lightweight, resilient expanded polystyrene (EPS) bonded to a high-density polyisocyanurate cover board. SecurShield HD Composite satisfies Title 24 requirements at a lower R-value; is compatible with all fully adhered or mechanically attached EPDM, TPO, and PVC membranes; meets or exceed the requirements of ASTM C578; and has a UL Class A rating for combustible and non-combustible decks without gypsum or any other cover board.

EverGuard® Extreme™ TPO by GAF
EverGuard Extreme TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is formulated for severe applications and engineered with solar installations in mind. This TPO single-ply membrane is built to handle demands that new rooftop applications can place on roofing membranes. It exceeds key ASTM standards for TPO membranes and uses a proprietary formulation of stabilizers and UV absorbers to achieve exceptional weathering performance, including heat aging and UV weathering. EverGuard Extreme TPO is available in 50 mil, 60 mil, 70 mil, and 80 mil versions; in 4′, 5′, 8′, and 10′ widths; and in 50′ and 100′ lengths.
