Green Roof
Our industry is inundated with the euphoria
surrounding everything green. Architects demand it, owners
want it and, of course, we (the industry) desire to be part
of it. But what is it really? Is it a product, a component,
an installation? Actually, it is all of these and more. We
are remiss in our ability to train, educate and implement
the “total green concept” to our people and those we serve.
FIXAROOF believes in using
products which are environmentally friendly.
Live
Roof
As our global climate continues to change, so do the
rooftops that adorn commercial buildings across the world.
With an ever increasing demand for roofs that are
environmentally responsible roofs are no longer faced with
the task of solely keeping the building waterproof. This
often overlooked and under-utilized area is now being seen
as a prime opportunity to reduce storm water run-off,
produce energy, reduce noise, and create habitats in urban
landscapes. The LiveRoof Module is a fully pre-vegetated
garden roofing product that provides the building owner with
a quick and easy way to turn any roof into an
environmentally friendly and aesthetically pleasing roof.
Grid
Systems
GreenGrid Roof Garden Systems offer distinct advantages over
more complex systems with their simplicity in design,
pre-planted modules and movable modular features. GreenGrid
Roof Garden Systems are an easy was to create a rooftop that
becomes more that just a one-dimensional waterproofing
system. They reduce the Urban Heat Island Effect, improve
air quality, extend roof life, aid in storm weather
management by alleviating storm water run-off, add aesthetic
value and require minimal maintenance.
Waterproofing Process
Provides waterproofing for piping through roof decks such as
non-round geometric shapes or closely grouped conduit, gas,
water or HVAC compressor line sets. Pipes that penetrate
roof systems require weatherproofing and we manufacture top
installation Storm Collars for waterproofing roof
penetrations that are accessible from the top.
Systems
Fixaroof offers an extensive range of exceptionally durable
systems that significantly extend the maintenance cycles far
beyond alternative roofing materials, which soon degrade
under sunlight and rapidly changing temperatures, leading to
early replacement. NYC Green’s roofing systems are designed to
overcome the many problems associated with traditional
materials, such as felt and asphalt.
Henry
Hot Rubberized Asphalt
Leading architects and designers know the impact a building
can have on the environment. This is why many are turning to
Henry Building Envelope Systems for strategies in
sustainable designs. Over 1.5 million square-feet of 790-11
Hot Rubberized Asphalt has been installed in green roof
projects across North America.
LIQUID PLASTICS
SBS Modified bitumen
The concept of liquid roofing is simple; by applying a cold
fluid material to a new or leaking roof structure, total
weatherproof protection can be achieved. The fluid applied
material cures to produce a durable, seamless, waterproof,
elastomeric skin, totally free from fasteners, seams, welds
or joints. Liquid Plastics roofing systems are easy to apply
by brush, roller or spray, including over complex roof
details such as upstands and skylights. The system also
provides a complete, long-lasting, maintenance-free barrier
against damaging water ingress.
Firestone
SBS Modified bitumen
The high-performance Modified Bitumen Roofing System
provides high-tensile strength in a rugged, reinforced
two-ply membrane. Firestone brings the added value of
industry-leading adhesives for both the membranes and the
installation components, completely eliminating the need for
open flame or hot asphalt. Multiple surfacing options
provide the specifier and designer with aesthetic
flexibility.
