The global effort to rebuild communities in the Bahamas is underway after category 5 Hurricane Dorian damaged buildings and displaced thousands of people. Polyglass U.S.A., Inc. is helping to restore hundreds of roofs and has donated self-adhered membranes to replace temporary blue tarp roofs.

A leading manufacturer of roofing and waterproofing solutions, Polyglass has contributed more than 5,000 rolls of Elastoflex SA V self-adhered modified bitumen membranes and nearly 400 pails of WB 3000 primers. With watertight roofs in place, electrical repairs on the buildings can begin. The donated roofing materials will restore about 330 roofs.

“Giving back to our community is a significant and important part of the Polyglass culture, and we are glad that we could be a part of this life-changing work,” says Director of Strategic Marketing Scott Lelling. “We hope that our contribution helps to get folks in the Bahamas back into their homes.”

Polyglass joined forces with several disaster relief organizations to strategically move products in the right amounts, at the right time and to the people who needed the most help.

“We can confidently say that the Bahamas has moved further ahead in their recovery efforts with the donation of roofing materials from Polyglass,” says Michael Rettig of LIFT Non-Profit Disaster Logistics. “It was great to work with a diverse group of non-profits, including customary transportation providers, yachts and landing crafts to coordinate and deliver the donations to some of the most difficult to reach areas in the Bahamas.”

Polyglass U.S.A., Inc., a leading manufacturer of roofing and waterproofing systems, expands its self-adhered product offering with the addition of Elastoflex SA V Polar Base™ and Elastoflex SA P Polar Cap™. Optimized for performance in colder conditions, these resilient roofing membranes save on labor and can extend the roofing season.

Elastoflex SA V Polar Base and Elastoflex SA P Polar Cap allow for roof system installation in temperatures that are between 25°F – 60°F (-4°C – 16°C). Designed for long-term performance, Elastoflex SA V Polar Base is fiberglass-reinforced for excellent dimensional stability. Elastoflex SA P Polar Cap has a UV-stabilized granule surface and is polyester-reinforced for exceptional puncture and tear resistance.

Manufactured with ADESO® Dual-Compound Self-Adhered Technology, these premium membranes provide a cleaner installation, improve application speed, and eliminate the need for torches. Both base and cap sheets use an SBS (elastomeric) formulation on the top weathering side of the reinforcement and an aggressive self-adhesive formulation on the bottom side.

The products have unique qualities that improve efficiency and performance. Elastoflex SA V Polar Base is finished with laylines for ease of application. Elastoflex SA P Polar Cap features patent pending SEALLap^® Ultra and patented FASTLap^® for immediate and more effective bonding of side and endlap seams.

“We are excited to introduce roofing solutions that may extend the roofing season,” says Polyglass CEO Natalino Zanchetta. “We continue to focus on innovation and providing products that make roofing in challenging weather conditions possible.”

With superior polyester reinforcing, Polyflex G provides an exceptionally durable roofing solution with long-term weathering performance. Polyflex G can be used for new roofing, re-roofing, recover, flashing, or used as part of a multi-ply system.
