Hyatt House Miami Airport Hotel

Maxx Leverage Roofing & Restoration is a licensed roofing company with over two decades of experience operating out of Idaho, Oregon, Florida, Louisana, and Alabama. This veteran-owned company offers roof repairs, reroofing, and roof replacement services for residential and commercial properties and specializes in emergency disaster relief for survivors needing temporary roofing and tree and debris removal.

When Maxx Leverage contractor and long-time Polyglass customer, James Moore, learned about Polyglass’s Polystick® XFR roof underlayment at a Polyschool session last April, he was so impressed with the product’s innovative qualities he chose to use it for his next big project in Miami, FL.

This contract was the Hyatt House Miami Airport Hotel in South Miami, Florida, requiring over 30,000 square feet of new roof underlayment. A perfect opportunity for James to put Polyglass’ dual-purpose, fire-resistant, and self-adhered waterproofing underlayment to the test!

“The contractor chose the superior protection of the Polystick XFR self-adhered (SA) underlayment waterproofing system. XFR was selected for the advanced Burn-Shield Technology™ with maximum fire-resistance properties delivered in one single layer installed as part of the metal roof assembly (unlike conventional fire barrier systems requiring a secondary fire barrier to achieve the UL Class A Fire Rating for Combustible Decks). Polystick XFR qualifies for up to a 30-year warranty backed by the Polyglass protection guarantee.”

John Massengill Independent Sales Representative for Polyglass

Polyglass Product Spotlight

Polystick XFR utilizes ADESO® dual-compound self-adhered technology for efficiency and ease of application and patented Burn-Shield Technology for superior fire resistance.

Polystick XFR’s slip-resistant film surface can be exposed for up to 180 days. With a temperature resistance of up to 265°F, Polystick XFR is ideally suited for high-temperature systems such as steel and copper roofing. Polystick XFR helps achieve a UL Class A Fire Rating in a single layer instead of typical solutions requiring multiple layers.

Oasis at Naples Condominiums

Located on Arbor Walk Circle in Naples, Florida, Oasis at Naples is an expansive condominium community built around six lakes, conveniently located near shopping, dining, and beaches.

When Crown Roofing, LLC was contracted to install new roofing on the Oasis Naples Condominiums in Naples, FL, sales rep Paul Ladea was very clear as to why they chose Polyglass’ Polystick® TU MAX as their roofing underlayment: “It’s the best underlayment in the world.”

For this roofing project, Crown Roofing installed new wood decks and applied Polystick TU MAX as an underlayment beneath Eagle Malibu Riviera concrete roof tiles — a project covering a total of 130,000 square feet.

Why Polystick TU MAX?

Polystick TU MAX is a homogeneous rubberized asphalt waterproofing membrane underlayment ideal for mechanically fastened roof tile applications. It integrates patented ADESO® Self-Adhered Technology for maximum adhering capabilities, plus the patented SEALLap®, a factory-applied adhesive treatment at the membrane overlap, allowing for easy application and improved performance. TU MAX also features a superior polyester reinforced surface fabric which increases its durability and UV exposure rating.

TU MAX was an excellent fit for the Oasis at Naples project because it meets or exceeds ATSM and TAS testing requirements for steep slope roofing. In addition, the surfacing is rated for 180-day exposure, is skid-resistant, and can withstand stacked tiles for extended periods of time without losing viability, making it a great option for larger, more time-consuming projects.

“We always use Polyglass because we believe in the product.”
— George Cavada, Crown Roofing Account Manager

Crown Roofing used multiple products from the Polyglass line to cover various aspects of the roofing installation:

  • Polystick MTS Plus, a high-tensile-strength self-adhered waterproofing underlayment designed for high-temperature roofing applications (e.g., metal roofs)
  • Polystick TU MAX, a rubberized asphalt underlayment with slip-resistance ideal for steeper slope roof sections
  • Elastobase, an SBS modified bitumen membrane base sheet ideal for a wide range of roofing systems
  • Elastoflex SA V and SA P, a self-adhered base sheet and self-adhered cap sheet, both of which use ADESO technology

For the Whisper Trace project, they installed one layer of Polystick MTS Plus and one layer of the Polystick TU Max. The flat areas used Elastoflex SA V base sheets and SA P cap sheets.

North Dade Regional Library

Polyglass’ premium roof system was the ideal choice for the Internal Services Department at Miami-Dade County. The County continues to rely on Polyglass’ high performing APP and SBS roof systems to meet code and energy efficiency requirements.

For the North Dade Regional Library in Miami Gardens, FL the County decided on the Polyglass three-ply modified bitumen roof system over Polyisocyanurate insulation. Roofing contractor Florida Building & Supply installed 58,000 sq. ft. of Elastoflex SA V self-adhered SBS base sheet, Polyflex® Smooth mid-ply and Polyfresko® G torch-applied cap sheet. Polyfresko G was used as the flashing up and over the top of the parapet wall followed by a coping detail.

Roof System Benefits:

  • ADESO® Self-Adhered Technology allowed for quick dry-in of the building and enabled the library to remain open during the roof work.
  • CURE Technology®—a thin-film added to Polyfresko G membranes during manufacturing—protects the membrane from premature deterioration and granule loss.
  • The three-ply system provides a dependable solution with multiple layers for redundancy.
  • Polyflex and Polyfresko G are polyester reinforced APP membranes, providing additional tear strength and puncture resistance to the roof system.

Joseph Caleb Daycare Center

Overview
Joseph Caleb Daycare, an early childhood education center in Miami, Fla., gets a new self-adhered, modified bitumen roof system. Roofing contractor Florida Building & Supply removed the existing failing roof and installed Polyglass’ roof system featuring CURE Technology® and ADESO® Technology. The daycare center, which caters to over 160 children, remained open during the roofing project.

Challenges
The project required an energy efficient roofing solution that also complied with the South Florida wind resistance requirements for high velocity hurricane zones. Furthermore, the building owner preferred a roofing solution that did not release fumes and odors during installation, narrowing the options available.  Polyglass’ self-adhered modified bitumen roof system was a perfect fit for this project because of its high reflectivity, durability and ease of installation.  In addition, waterproofing the existing skylights presented a challenge because they were irregular shaped.  Polyglass’ PolyFlash 2C, an odor free, liquid flashing system was applied to the skylights to form full closure.

Roof System Components
The 20,000 sq. ft. roof features Polyglass’ three-ply, self-adhered modified bitumen roof system with a 20 year roof systems warranty.  System components include:

  • Elastoflex SA V, a self-adhered SBS modified bitumen membrane. This membrane was used for the base and interply sheets.
  • Polyfreskco G SA, a white, self-adhered APP modified bitumen membrane was used for the surface layer of the roof system. Polyfresko G SA cap sheet is manufactured with CURE Technology, a thin-film technology that improves the membrane’s durability, UV and stain resistance, and granule adhesion.
  • Polyflash 2C, an odor free, UV-stable fluid-applied flashing system was used to waterproof the skylights.

Self-adhered, three-ply modified bitumen roof system featuring highly reflective Polyfresko G SA cap sheet.
