Versatile, UV-Resistant Liquid Applied Membrane for Roofing Restoration

Liquid applied membrane (LAM) roofing is an innovative and cost-effective commercial roofing solution designed to restore and extend the life of existing roofs. This seamless system offers exceptional durability and protection against environmental elements, making it a preferred choice for building owners looking for superior performance. With its versatile application, UV resistance, and strong warranty, LAM roofing stands out as an excellent alternative to complete roof replacement.

Benefits of Liquid Applied Membrane Roofing Include:

·     Versatile application for various roof types

·    Superior UV resistance to combat harsh sunlight

·     Backed by a strong warranty

LAM, also referred to as Silicone RCR, is ideal for restoring roofs without the need for a full replacement. Its liquid-applied membrane design ensures a seamless finish, enhancing the roof's ability to resist water, heat, and wear over time.

Applicable Roof Types for LAM:

·     Metal

·     Concrete

·     Gravel or Smooth Surface Build-up roof (BUR)

·     EPDM Rubber

·     Single-Ply TPO, Hypalon, PVC

·     Modified Bitumen


This versatility allows LAM to adhere effectively to a wide variety of roof materials, making it both practical and cost-effective. In many cases, the cost of applying a LAM system is only half that of a new roof installation.


Another standout feature of LAM roofing is its exceptional UV resistance. This helps reduce heat absorption during summer months, lowering interior temperatures and cutting energy costs. Additionally, the system is protected by a leak-free warranty that can last up to 20 years and is renewable, ensuring peace of mind for property owners.


By choosing liquid-applied membrane, you're investing in a versatile and resistant solution that's built to perform under the toughest conditions. Discover how this innovative system can transform your roof while offering long-term protection and savings.
