Future savings, built in

By Dani Sheehan. 

With benefits like increased energy efficiency, less disruption to daily operations and a reduced carbon footprint, restoration is a win for building owners and contractors alike. 

Rosscrete Roofing, Inc., chose restoration as a cost-effective alternative to a full tear-off and replacement when a well-known retail brand’s headquarters in Anaheim, California, needed a solution for its aging 55,000-square-foot built-up roof. Selecting APOC’s fully reinforced elastomeric roof system, the crew delivered energy savings, durability and warranty-backed peace of mind to the existing structure. 

Step-by-step system 

To address penetrations and potential problem areas, the team used APOC 264 Elastomeric Roof Patch in combination with APOC 482F Firm Polyester Reinforcing Fabric. This initial reinforcement sealed up vulnerable spots and set the foundation for a long-lasting system. 

The next layer of defense was APOC 300-S Non-fibered Asphalt Emulsion, which was sprayed across the entire roof surface. The 482F reinforcing fabric was then embedded into the emulsion to provide a strong, flexible membrane. Unlike traditional hot-applied systems, APOC 300-S offers the proven longevity of asphalt without the associated risks of heat or open flames, making its application safer and more efficient. 

To complete the system, APOC 248 Energy-Armor Arizona White Elastomeric Coating was applied across the roof, creating a seamless and highly reflective surface. This final layer reflects UV rays, resists thermal shock and helps reduce internal building temperature, ultimately contributing to lower energy bills. 

Advantages for contractors and occupants 

Because of the low-odor, low-impact installation process, Rosscrete was able to complete the project while the building remained fully occupied. With APOC’s labor and material warranty in place, the building’s owner now has a high-performing roof that will require less maintenance and deliver long-term cost savings. 

Why restoration made sense: 

• High reflectivity reduces energy costs and combats UV degradation 
• Durability of asphalt and fabric-reinforced layers extends system life 
• No tear-off needed, saving time, labor and landfill fees 
• Occupant-friendly installation with minimal disruption 
• Backed by warranty for both labor and materials
