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.
