What Preparation Does a Roof Require Before Re-Ply Installation?
All surfaces, depending on the original roofing material, have a specific ASTEC® preparation procedure. This should be done by an authorized ASTEC contractor. Essential repairs are done first. Normally, this involves less than 10% of the roof area but has been as high as 25%. Wet insulation is replaced, loose material is removed, loose fasteners are tightened or replaced, and damaged drains, parapets, penetrations, etc. are repaired. Surface cleaning is very different for metal, asphalt, rubber, and the various surfaces to be converted. ASTEC provides specific rinses, rust controls, water proofers, and other products to clean and prepare each surface. Properly repairing, cleaning, flashing, and sealing each roof surface is essential to the success of each ASTEC Re-Ply™ roof.
Can You Re-Ply a Metal Roof? Yes!
Why?
Metal roofs are composed of lapped sheets and fasteners that are highly susceptible to corrosion, wind lift, and loosening from thermal shock damage leading to constant repair and costly replacement.
When?
Metal roofs with sound structures are prime candidates for an ASTEC® Re-Ply™ roofing conversion. When complete, the new, seamless roof will be wind and watertight with thermal shock resistance and sustainable, noncorrosive properties.
How?
Metal roofs are restored, cleaned, and professionally converted to ASTEC Re-Ply roofs, using premium products, proven procedures, and ASTEC authorized contractors.
Can You Re-Ply a Single-Ply Roof? Yes!
Why?
Single-ply roofs with sound underlayment and good adhesion can be readily converted to an ASTEC® Re-Ply™ roof. When complete, the new seamless surface will be wind and watertight while reflecting damaging sun rays for a cooler building and a longer‑lasting roof.
When?
Single-ply roofs are sheets attached to the subsurface and are susceptible to heat and UV degradation, chalking, shrinking, and separating—leading to expensive repair and costly replacement.
How?
Single-ply roofs are restored, cleaned, and converted to ASTEC Re-Ply roofs, using premium products, proven procedures, and ASTEC authorized contractors.
Can You Re-Ply an Asphalt Roof? Yes!
Why?
Asphalt roofing, modified bitumen, or rolled roofing are susceptible to heat and UV degradation, splitting, and cracking—leading to constant repair and costly replacement.
How?
Asphalt roofs with sound underlayment and repairable substrates can be converted to ASTEC® Re-Ply™ roofs. When complete, the new seamless surface will be wind and watertight while reflecting damaging sun rays for a cooler building and a longer‑lasting roof.
When?
Asphalt roofs are restored, cleaned, and professionally converted to ASTEC Re-Ply roofs, using premium products, proven procedures, and ASTEC authorized contractors.
