IB Roofing
Imagine that you no longer had to worry about your flat roof
– no more leaks, no more repairs, no more headaches. IB Roof
provides a solution to all known flat roofing problems.
What is IB Roof?
IB roof is a single-ply polyester-reinforced CPA/PVC
membrane. IB's original design comes from Europe, where
engineers of the Post-War era were faced with massive
industrial and residential re-building. They had to create a
roofing product that would last a long time while minimizing
energy and maintenance costs. In 1978 IB Roof Systems took
the original design improved it with the latest
technological know-how's and created the ultimate roofing
solution for both residential and commercial/industrial flat
roofing market. In fact IB's formulation has not changed
since 1979.
IB Roofing membrane features unique design, incorporation
100% virgin PVC in its formulation as well as '50/50 equal
thicknesses' Top/Base film laminated to polyester
reinforcement scrim (notice that competition's top film
thickness does not exceed 35-40%). Top film and it's
advanced formulation, is what makes IB's membrane
long-lasting, by resisting the destructive powers of U.V.
rays as well chemicals and substances that are normally
present on flat roofs, and cause the degradation of the
roofing material, resulting in costly leaks.

What make IB Roofs so unique?
-
Long-lasting, worry-free roofing
-
Complete Flat Roof-System
-
Energy-Efficient Cool Roof
-
Designed to withstand Ponding Water
-
Easy roof repair in any weather
IB Roofs have been in service since 1978 with zero material
failure. The key to such an amazing performance is the way
the overlapping seams are attached. Unlike conventional
roofing systems, where adhesive is the key component as well
as the major flat-roof failure factor, IB's seams are
Hot-Air welded by precision Swiss-made welding equipment.
Once the seam is welded and cured (which takes about 1-2
minutes), it cannot be broken without tearing the membrane.
In fact IB seams are stronger than the membrane itself.
Hot-air welding ensures that seams will never come apart,
thus the integrity of the roofing system is consistent
through-out its life-cycle.
Ponding water – leading cause of flat roof leaks. Not a
problem for IB Roof
Ponding water is the leading cause of leaks on the flat
roofs. In MA, RI and CT, as well as other parts of the US,
with the old construction methods of 20th century, there are
now thousands residential and commercial flat roofs exposed
to leaks. Ponding water creates puddles on your roof that
have no way to be drained due to short-comings of the
original design and impossibility to create new drainage
methods. This standing water destroys your roof by breaking
the seams, saturating the insulation , and rotting the wood
decking. Once water enters inside the building, it damages
the structural components, ceilings and drywall, flooring,
as well as electrical system. The combined costs of internal
repairs due to roof leaks, may by far exceed the cost of
installing a new IB roof.
