The T. Clear Protected Membrane Roof (PMR) Systems protect your building investment
against major causes of roof failure:
- U.V. Radiation
- Thermal Shock
- Wind
- Hail
- Physical Abuse
In all areas of the building envelope, the moisture barrier is placed on the
warm side of the insulation. With one exception — a conventional roof
system.
In a T. Clear Protected Membrane Roof System (PMR), the Dow Styrofoam® extruded
polystyrene insulation is placed above the waterproof membrane to protect the
membrane from the harsh rooftop environment.
Each 2' x 4' Lightguard®, Heavyguard®,
or Coolguard® PMR Insulation panel utilizes the superior moisture
resistance and high compressive strength properties of Dow Styrofoam. A layer
of latex-modified concrete is bonded to the surface of each panel further protecting
it from physical abuse as well as providing ballast. Each panel has tongue-and-groove
edges for easy installation.
A T. Clear PMR does not involve particularly sophisticated engineering or
require any new or different equipment to install. It uses the same components
as a conventional roof system, but it uses them in a more efficient and effective
way. It's not rocket science. It just works.
- Reduce roof top temperatures and "heat island" effect
- Greater life-cycle value
- Eliminates major causes of leaks and roof failures
- Reduces yearly maintenance costs
- Reduced energy costs
- Predictable long-term performance
- Resists absorption of moisture which can lead to expensive tear-offs
Lightguard® & Coolguard PMR Panels are lightweight
at 4.5 lbs. per sq. ft.
- Ideal for roof spans where weight is a concern
- Can be laid over existing membrane to add insulation
T. Clear PMR System Places dew point above the membrane
- Eliminates condensation problems
A T. Clear PMR System is the perfect choice for environments with high humidity
such as paper and textile mills. When warm air meets cool
air, water vapor condenses – the temperature at which water
vapor condenses is called the "dew point."
In conventional roof systems, the dew point is below the waterproof membrane.
So, when vapor condenses, it is deposited into your insulation and spread throughout
by capillary action, decreasing its insulating value. And it can literally
"rain"
inside your building and deteriorate the roof deck over a period of time.
In a T. Clear PMR, the dew point is raised above the waterproof membrane.
So, water vapor isn't allowed to condense inside your building.
- Included with each system at no additional charge. This warranty insures
that your system will:
- Stay in place on the roof in winds up to 90 mph
- Retain at least 80% of its R-value for 15 years
- Lightguard, Heavyguard, & Coolguard panels will not delaminate
- Covers the total roof system with single-source responsibility.
- Available for 10, 15 or 20 years
- No haggling over who is responsible
- Includes pre-job, start-up and job completion inspections by independent
inspector/advisors
- Covers wind speeds of 100, 110 & 120 mph for 10 years
- Roof system must be designed for the next highest wind rating (Ex: 110 mph
wind for a 100 mph warranty)
*Indicate desire at Notice of Award so system can be engineered for higher
