Polyglass is a leading manufacturer of modified bitumen roof membranes, elastomeric roof coatings and underlayments. Founded in the early 1950s by roofing contractors in northern Italy, its first manufacturing plant was established in the 1960s serving roofing contractors across Europe. The company grew organically and expanded operations into the United States in 1992 with its first location in Fernley, Nevada. By 2006, they had grown to three US facilities with the addition of plants in Pennsylvania and Florida.

In 2008, Polyglass was acquired by Mapei, a global manufacturer of adhesives, sealants and construction materials for the building industry. Since the acquistion, Polyglass has added a manufacturing location in Arizona, with an additional facility in Texas slated to be operational at the end of 2017. Their state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001:2008 certified and strategically located to serve its valuable customers.

Since developing its first compound formula decades ago, Polyglass has added hundreds of innovative products that extend the roof-life cycle, help manage building energy loads and enhance building aesthetics. With the launch of patented ADESO® Technology, Polyglass provided an easier, safer, and faster way to install modified bitumen membranes. They also developed patented CURE Technology®, a thin film technology applied to membranes during the manufacturing process to increase reflectivity, durability, stain and UV resistance, granule retention and energy efficiency.

As part of its commitment to customers, continuing education is offered through Polyschool®, a two-day comprehensive training program that teaches best practices in the installation of our commercial and residential products. Polyglass has also developed a robust customer loyalty program with its Q Rewards program – rewarding its customers for their product purchases.
