Located in Naples, Florida, Fiddler’s Creek is an expansive luxury master-planned community featuring gorgeous condominiums and resort-like amenities. Whisper Trace is an attractive condo community located within Fiddler’s Creek, many of Whisper Trace’s units are used as vacation homes.
For a recent roofing project at Whisper Trace at Fiddler’s Creek, Crown Roofing was called on to install 160,000 square feet of new roofing on fourteen residences in the community. The roofing company relied heavily on Polyglass products for this project’s roofing materials.
“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.

The Waianae District Park Gym, owned by the city and county of Honolulu, is one of the most used public areas in the community. The roof protecting the gym became damaged, had leaks and electrical issues. This resulted in the closure of the gym’s second floor. Leeward Roofing & General Contracting removed the old roof and replaced it with Polyglass’ SBS multiply modified bitumen roof system. The roof was completed just before the 2018 hurricane season and the building was used as one of several evacuation centers on the island.

Roofing contractor NV Roofing in Chantilly, VA restored 250,000-square-feet of aged modified bitumen roof with Polyglass’ silicone roof coating system. The new coating system provides an energy efficient, water-resistant and long-term solution for the Washington DC apartment building. The NV Roofing crew first cleaned and repaired the roof before applying PolyBrite® 98 One-Part Acrylic Primer/Bleed Blocker for silicone coatings. PolyBrite® 95 Silicone Roof Coating was used to complete the system.
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.
Edgewood Terrace Commons IV, a 258-unit high-rise building in Washington DC, was reroofed with Polyglass’ multi-ply roof system. The 25,000 sq. ft. roof had severe ponding issues and held water after heavy rainfalls and snow storms.
To solve the roof challenge, roofing contractor DC Duct & Sheet Metal LLC tore off the existing system down to the concrete deck and created a tapered design to ensure positive drainage. The tapered insulation was adhered to the deck followed by cover board and Polyglass’ high performing three-ply roof system. Products included two-plies of Polyglass’ Elastoflex SA V self-adhered base sheet and Polyflex® G torch-applied cap sheet in white.
To seal the large number of penetrations, the roofing crew used PolyFlash® 1C, a one-component, liquid flashing compound that can be used to seal roofing and waterproofing details such as walls, curbs, vents, roof drains, pitch pans and unusually shaped penetrations.
Roofing Contractor 3-D Roof System installs Polyglass’ Vegetative Roof atop the SHAG (Senior Housing Assistance Group) Lynnwood, Wash. property. Backed by a 30-year warranty, the three-ply modified bitumen system chosen provides the critical waterproofing needed for a vegetative roof assembly. At 500-mils thick, the system adds layers of defense for the roof and enables long-term performance. In comparison, singly ply membranes typically have a 60 mils total thickness.
Products include two layers of Polyglass’ Polyflex® Smooth APP (Atactic Polypropylene) modified bitumen membrane for the base and interply sheets. For the final layer, Polyflex® G White APP cap sheet was installed to provide resistance to punctures, tears, abrasion, foot traffic and the elements. Elastoflex SA V—a high performing self-adhered membrane featuring Polyglass’ ADESO® Technology was used for the flashing details.
Challenges:
3-D Roof Systems began the roof installation in October 2016, which according to the Seattle Times had record breaking rainfall. But 3-D Roof Systems was prepared for the inclement weather. The team used a system of inflatable tenting adapted for use on the roof to work around the weather. As they completed sections of the roof, the tent was moved to new areas that needed to be worked on.
