Raising the bar for modern roof construction

By Brittany Wykle, Leister. 

A new focus on better precision and accountability is reshaping flat roofing as Single Ply Roofing Experts puts the VARIMAT 700 with LQS to work in the field. 

The first thing you notice when talking with the team at Single Ply Roofing Experts is how quickly the conversation turns from tools to trust. That’s why the company’s early embrace of Leister’s VARIMAT 700 feels less like a product decision and more like a shift in how work gets done. The machine’s mix of smart data, steady control and job-site practicality has given the California-based team a sharper, more confident edge in a trade that rewards consistency. And as more contractors look for ways to prove the quality they deliver, the VARIMAT 700 is already showing why it’s becoming the tool to watch. 

Making quality measurable – With the Leister Quality System 

The Leister Quality System (LQS) is a real highlight. It records all relevant welding parameters such as speed, temperature, air volume, welding pressure and input voltage. The data can be accessed at any time via the my Leister app and is summarized in a cloud-based report. 

For Eduardo Huitron, the LQS is far more than just a control instrument – it helps his young team members to learn, helps them understand precise welding and ensures that processes remain reproducible and traceable. 

Increase productivity – Promote teamwork 

The VARIMAT 700 also offers decisive advantages in terms of productivity and transparency: The Single Ply Roofing Experts team uses the data recorded for more accurate quotation calculations, daily target/actual comparisons on the construction site and regular meetings with foremen and customers and much more. The company even sends out weekly welding reports in order to present the progress of the project in a transparent way and further strengthen customer confidence. 

For Huitron, the VARIMAT 700 has long been more than just a welding machine – it is a key success factor for quality, productivity and responsibility in everyday work. The combination of Leister technology and digital evaluation makes the VARIMAT 700 the perfect tool for anyone looking to set new standards in industrial roof construction. 

This is also demonstrated by the challenging projects of Single Ply Roofing Experts (USA): 

• The Pechanga Temecula casino, a major four-year project. 
• The roofing of several Toyota and Hyundai car dealerships, where efficiency and the highest welding quality were required. 

Whether major construction sites or intricate details – with the VARIMAT 700, the company can rely on precision, reliability and digital control.
