Dura Guard Roofing, a prominent roofing contractor headquartered in Stuart, Florida, has earned a stellar reputation over more than 20 years as a reliable provider of top-tier roofing solutions for commercial real estate projects. Known for its commitment to excellence and durability, Dura Guard selected Polyglass USA as its strategic partner for a major reroofing project at Aberdeen Coves, an expansive condominium complex located in Boynton Beach, Florida.
The Aberdeen Coves project posed a distinct set of challenges, demanding creative and highly effective roofing solutions. To meet these demands, Dura Guard utilized Polyglass USA’s advanced roofing systems, specifically Polyanchor HV and Polystick TU Max, which are renowned for their superior design and performance.
The project began with the installation of Polyglass’ Polyanchor HV, a High Velocity Wind Anchor Sheet. This innovative product was mechanically fastened to the existing plywood substrate using a precise nailing pattern, serving as a temporary water-resistant barrier while significantly enhancing the roof’s uplift resistance when paired with Polystick TU Max. This approach not only fortified the roof system but also preserved the original wood deck, helping to reduce the costs associated with future reroofing projects.
Following the installation of the Polyanchor HV, Dura Guard applied Polyglass’ Polystick TU Max self-adhered tile underlayment. This step was crucial in creating a comprehensive water- and wind-resistant barrier. The synergy between Polyanchor HV and Polystick TU Max resulted in a robust roofing system that offered the building owner an extended warranty of up to 35 years, providing long-term peace of mind.
The application of Polyanchor HV brought additional value to the project. By preserving the existing wood deck, Dura Guard eliminated the need for expensive deck replacements in future reroofing endeavors. This innovative solution not only reduced material waste but also aligned with sustainable construction practices, minimizing the overall lifecycle costs of the roof.
Polyanchor HV distinguished itself not only through its technical features but also through its practical advantages during installation. The anchor sheet offers superior walkability, making the installation process safer and reducing the likelihood of slips or accidental damage to the roofing system. Additionally, its exceptional nail pull-through resistance far surpasses that of traditional 30-pound felt or synthetic anchor sheets, ensuring long-lasting durability and performance.
The ease of use and reliability of Polyanchor HV impressed the Dura Guard team. Brandi Milbert of Dura Guard remarked, “The project went off without a hitch, and the walkability was great!” Her feedback underscores the product’s role in streamlining the installation process while maintaining the highest standards of quality.
Through its strategic partnership with Polyglass USA and application of cutting-edge roofing materials, Dura Guard Roofing demonstrated its expertise and dedication to delivering innovative and durable roofing solutions. The Aberdeen Coves reroofing project stands as a testament to their ability to overcome complex challenges and achieve exceptional results.
