Date: 8/22/2025 , 9:57am
Creator: Kody Berry
This building has a built-up roof system installed. Built-up roofs are multi-ply, utilizing hot or modified asphalt.
Typically, built-up roofs have a lifecycle of 10-to-15 years.
As the roof ages, it loses strength, and leaks.
During roof work, a new equipment hatch will be installed on this building. The installment is included in the budget.

CITY OF VICTORVILLE WATER DISTRICT – CAMELBACK WELL
If your existing roof is in serviceable condition and targeted maintenance will solve roof leaks for the long term, it’s recommended to repair the roof and not spend additional money on roof reinforcement or a new roof system.
If maintaining the roof once with targeted maintenance will not keep the building watertight, reinforcing the existing roof with WeatherWeld is the next step.
Certain conditions dictate that the existing roof may not be able to be reinforced. In this case, roof removal would be required.
TARGETED MAINTENANCE
REINFORCE EXISTING ROOF
REMOVE ROOF – INSTALL NEW ROOF SYSTEM
It is recommended to perform regular maintenance on this roof using a targeted maintenance plan to repair/seal areas of the roof that could be leaking. WeatherWeld can be installed by hand for small repairs to the existing roof. The owner/facilities manager can perform repairs on their own, or have an approved contractor install WeatherWeld out of buckets. WeatherWeld’s Technical Representative will help create a scope of work and assist in creating a plan to get the roof watertight under the targeted maintenance plan.
WeatherWeld is the perfect solution to eliminate the roof leaks on this building. The existing roof can stay in place, and a WeatherWeld roof reinforcement coating system will be installed directly over the existing roof making the entire roof seamless from the top of the parapet wall to the bottom of the drain. This will eliminate all roof leaks. By installing a WeatherWeld roof on this building, the facilities team will have a leak free roof that will require no maintenance for the life of the warranty. You get the benefit of WeatherWeld encapsulating the ductwork and equipment issues all at once. The finished roof will have a white “cool roof” title 24 compliant surface.
The following cases indicate that a roof needs to be removed:
1. The building has more than one roof system installed—building code only allows a maximum of two roof systems to be installed on a building.
2. If there is trapped moisture in the roof system
3. Building modernization requires exposing the roof deck
4. Roof drainage needs improvement
5. Roof deck replacement is required on a large scale.
REINFORCE EXISTING ROOF (SILICONE ROOFS)
Silicone coatings are not compatible with typical roofing materials. The only thing that sticks to silicone, is silicone. The best solution for silicone coated roofs is to tear the roof and start over.
When removal is not possible, a new roof system can be installed over the existing roof. For coated standing seam metal, flute fill insulation can be mechanically installed, and a new seamless roof system installed creating a flat roof.
Remove top roof layer, leave the original roof in place. In some cases, the original roof system would be a candidate for WeatherWeld roof reinforcement and would count as a roof coating system. For this instance, remove only the top layer, leaving the original roof system. Once the top roof is removed, prepare the original roof, and install WeatherWeld seamless roof reinforcement.
REMOVE TOP ROOF LAYER – INSTALL NEW ROOF SYSTEM
REMOVE EXISTING ROOF – REUSE EXISTING INSULATION
Remove the existing roof and reuse existing insulation. If roofing systems requires removal but existing roof insulation can be reused, attach a ½” gypsum substrate board and install a WeatherWeld new roof reinforcement system.

6 WHY ROOFS FAIL
WHY DOES THE EXISTING ROOF FAIL?
Roofing systems fail for various reasons in a western climate like California. The following are examples of common failures.
Physical Effects
• UV Exposure: The primary reason for roofing failure is UV exposure. The Sun deteriorates roofing membranes faster than other climate regions.
• Thermal expansion and contraction: with an average temperature swing of 30 degrees, buildings cycle a minimum of 2 times a day.
Over time, this creates concentrated stress on roofing materials. • Age: All roofs deteriorate with age. When you combine the factors above, roofs dry out and become brittle, seams degrade, and roof systems lose the ability to keep the building waterproof.
Existing Roof Types and Common Issues
Built-up roof: layers of felt saturated in asphalt is one of the oldest types of roofing. As built-up roofs age, UV exposure dries out asphalt, making it brittle. This causes the roof to lose strength and elongation after approximately 10 years.
The following observations can help determine the condition of built-up roofs through visual inspection:
• Micro granules piled up near roof drains
• Exposed fiberglass felt in the field of the roof
• Ridging, buckling, or blistering in the roof system.
• Material shrinkage at intersections and base flashings Modified built-up roofs have the same observations above and close inspection could show UV damage creating micro fractures in the roof membrane.
Gravel surfaced built-up roofs have the same observations above except damage is hidden due to the roof being covered with loose gravel—inspect carefully.
Single ply roofs: thin layers of plastic rolled out, creating a plastic membrane, must be seamed/welded by hand in the field. Rolls are designed to be installed on flat surfaces with no penetrations. Material ranges between 30 and 70 mills (extremely thin), depending on plastic membrane type. The life cycle of plastic roof membranes varies drastically on the type of plastic and the location where material is installed.
A perfectly installed single ply in perfect climate might last 20 years. However, results are not typical, and life cycle varies. Single ply roofs fail for various reasons. The following observations can help determine the condition of single ply roofs through visual inspection:
• Chalking or cracking on the surface of the membrane
• Loose or delaminated seams
• Exposed scrim/fabric reinforcement
• Burn through at roof fasteners (discoloration at fasteners and plates) • Fluttering of membrane in windy conditions
• Discoloration and other types of surface changes in plastic membrane • Material shrinkage at intersections and base flashings Foam and coating roofs: Spray applied foam relies on the surface coating to protect the foam underneath. As soon as the thin surface coating wears away, foam absorbs water and basically turns it into a sponge. Foam roofs require recoating the foam on a maintenance plan (5-10 years). Foam should be considered a roof maintenance system because these types of roofs are only as watertight as the thin coating on top. The following observations can help determine the condition of foam roofs through visual inspection:
• Deterioration of surface coating exposing foam insulation underneath • Blisters in foam layers
• Wet sponge-like areas where water is saturated into foam insulation • Holes in roof where animals peck holes in roof surface • Uneven application inhibiting water drainage
Metal roofs: roofs with standing seam or corrugated metal rely on overlapped/crimped sheet metal panels to remain watertight. In most cases, sheet metal panels are not the cause of roof leaks. Building movement, UV deterioration of waterproofing seals, and unsealed fasteners create roof leaks. In rare occurrences, oxidation or deterioration of surface coatings corrodes the sheet metal creating rust and holes in the panel itself. The following observations can help determine the condition of metal roofs through visual inspection:
• Exposed sheet metal seams
• Failed repair material seals at seams, penetrations, and joints • Backed out fasteners with deteriorated rubber gaskets • Oxidation/rust in panels
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN TO REPLACE MY ROOF?
If the roof can be repaired to get the roof watertight, repair the roof. If repair won’t solve all the roof problems or repair would be too extensive, roof reinforcement of the entire roof is recommended.
In some cases, legally or structurally, where the roof cannot be reinforced, removal may be required to start with a new roof system. 7 OPTIONS
WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OF MY ROOF?
Remove and replace the entire roof system
Most roofs with only one layer installed do not require removal. A roof needs to be removed only if there is underlying deck damage, moisture, or design defect in the existing roof system. Buildings that have two roof systems/layers installed, must be removed because building code doesn’t allow more than two layers of roofing on a building. Roof removal also requires a minimum R-Value requirement to meet CA Title 24. This cost could be significant considering the cost of removal and flashing height increases, plus the cost of disruption to the building and its occupants. This is the worst-case scenario and only recommended when required.
Reinforce the existing roof
Your existing roof leaks because the roofing system has lost its ability to keep the roof watertight. This could be due to uv exposure, moisture in the roofing system, failing seams, or improper installation from the start. Overall, most roofs over 10 years old have lost the strength required to remain watertight.
Seamless Roof Reinforcement is stronger than the existing roof was when it was new. WeatherWeld takes place of the existing roof, creating a seamless reinforced membrane designed to encapsulate most existing roofs from the top of a wall continuously into the drain, making roof leaks impossible.
OTHER ROOFING OPTIONS - WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?
“ROOF RESTORATION”
There is no such thing. Age affects roofs the same way it affects people and everything else. You can’t make something old into something new. Plasticizers will not regenerate within the materials, and the tensile strength lost through cycle fatigue will not return. The laws of physics always trump the promises of marketing. Cool roof coatings and “restoration” products are marketing hoaxes—they can’t penetrate the existing substrate matrix at any meaningful depth and are not thick enough to be resilient long term.
COATINGS
Elastomeric and silicone are another false hope. Coating a roof does nothing but cover the roof in its existing condition with a layer of paint. The “guarantees” that are issued on these systems usually cover only material, not leaks. We have seen many 50-year silicone guarantees, but have never seen a silicone roof last a warranty length still in service.
SINGLE PLY
Single ply is a product that must be patched and repaired from the start. Typical installations with TPO and PVC last less than 15 years in the Western United States. Plastic sheets must be unrolled and welded with a hot air welder at every seam. This creates the possibility for human error.
Every seam must be physically inspected because you are left with a thin sheet of plastic with miles of welds and patches on a typical roof. The sun degrades synthetic materials at unpredictable rates, and this means the lifecycle of synthetic materials are hard to judge. This is the reason why most single plies are reformulated repeatedly.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN CHOOSING A ROOF
A long-term solution to keep the roof watertight should have the following characteristics:
SEAMLESS: The existing roof leaks because it has seams. Water finds a seam and leaks into your building.
Theoretically, if a roof is seamless, there would be no place for it to leak.
STRONG: A roof must be strong enough to withstand thermal movement.
DURABLE: The seamless membrane must be resistant to rooftop traffic, debris on the roof, and rooftop equipment.
TIME TESTED: The product must have a real track record of successful performance in real life applications, not just accelerated weathering tests in a lab. Note that most single ply and coatings have not been around for a warranty period.
GUARANTEED: An NDL warranty that covers labor, material, and repairs, for the life of the warranty. Most warranties cover material but not labor; the fine print with warranty exclusions lets manufacturers escape liability.
AFFORDABLE: Add up the cost of the roof, including maintenance and replacement over 40 years. Why 40 years? Because most buildings will be here 40 years from now. When you choose roof systems that are designed to last with minimal maintenance, the lifecycle cost is lower.
8 WeatherWeld is a roof designed to withstand the elements and provide a leak free roof for generations. More than 30 years ago, WeatherWeld created a seamless roof system designed to reinforce existing roofs by combining the strongest long-lasting materials in the world. By combining ceramic emulsion and intertwined fiberglass together, the seamless membrane encapsulates the entire roof from the top of the wall to the bottom of the drain.
CHARACTERISTICS OF WEATHERWELD

12 OVERVIEW
Installation of the WeatherWeld system is a simple 5 step process:
1. Prepare surfaces, seams, walls, flashings, drains, and penetrations.
2. Install base sheet
3. Spray apply WeatherWeld reinforced membrane.
4. Spray apply reflective acrylic coating system.
5. Install flashings and roof accessories.
Contact WeatherWeld representative for final inspection.
PREPARATION
• Prior to installation, ensure that adhesion testing was conducted in accordance with WeatherWeld adhesion testing procedures to verify a minimum adhesion strength of four (4) pounds per linear inch (pli) to the applicable substrates. When calculating material requirements for a particular project, consideration must be given to applicator variance and surface texture.
• Confirm local water run-off ordinances and restrictions prior to cleaning roof. • Pressure wash all surfaces receiving WeatherWeld to remove all dust, dirt, debris and other foreign contaminants.
• If the roof surface becomes contaminated with dirt, dust, or other particles at any time during the application of the WeatherWeld system, cleaning measures must be taken to restore the surface to a suitable condition. • Ensure roof is dry prior to application.
BASE SHEET INSTALLATION
• Install base sheet (inverted G3 over wood), lapping 2” on side laps and 4” at end laps using approved fasteners.
• Install base sheet, lapping 2” on center and 4” at end laps using approved fasteners.
• Fastening pattern must meet FM 1-90 wind uplift requirements.
WEATHERWELD SEAMLESS ROOFING APPLICATION
• Apply one layer of the composite roofing at the following ratio:
1. Asphalt Emulsion: 30 gal. per 100 square feet (12.2 L/m2).
2. Fiberglass Roving: 16 lb. per 100 square feet (0. 78 Kg/m2). • DO NOT DILUTE. No water or filler material may be added to the emulsion to thin or extend pot life.
• Fiberglass must be disbursed from the applicator in varying intertwined lengths, up to 24 inches (610mm).
• Thoroughly mix fiberglass and emulsion prior to application on roof surface. • Loose strands must be brushed by hand, removed or filled with emulsion to create a solid surface.
• Upon completion, no area may be less than 250 mil dry film thickness (DFT). • Install additional material at all roof flashings, 500 mils (DFT) of WeatherWeld composite installed, extending 24” in each direction prior to completion of the project.
• Areas where application exceeds 500 mils wet, such as base flashings and penetrations, brush by hand to prevent surface crazing.
REFLECTIVE COATING INSTALLATION
• Prior to coating application, wash the roof surface with water. • Do not continue until all surfaces have thoroughly dried, confirmed by a reading of zero on a calibrated moisture meter.
1. Acrylic Base Coating: Apply Base Coating at 1 1/2 gal. per 100 square feet (0.6 L/m2).
2. Acrylic Top Coating: Apply Reflective Top Coating at 1 1/2 gal. per 100 square feet (0.6 L/m2).
or
3. (Alternate) Aluminum Coating: Apply Reflective Coating at 2 gal. per 100 square feet (0.8 L/m2).
FLASHINGS
• All flashings must have 500 mills DFT of WeatherWeld Composite installed extending 24” in each direction.
• The following items are required to be in watertight condition for a WeatherWeld warranty to be issued for the project:
1. Drains and Scuppers.
2. Sheetmetal Copings and Counter-Flashings.
3. Perimeter and Edge Flashings.
4. Equipment Platforms and Sheetmetal Pans.
5. Expansion Joints.
6. Sheetmetal Ducts and Seals.
7. Electrical Enclosures and Conduits.
8. Transition Flashings.
9. Any other item that may affect the watertightness of the Roof.
ROOF ACCESSORIES (INSTALLED AFTER COATING SYSTEM)
• Walkway Pads or Non-Slip Walking Surface
• Polymer Pipe Supports, Storm Collars on Pipes, Drain Rings and Screens • Coping Caps and Flashings
• Access Hatches and Ladders
INSPECTION
• Inspect entire roof area and touch-up deficient areas with WeatherWeld or reflective coating as necessary to ensure complete and uniform coverage.
Special attention should be given to critical areas of roof, including roof penetrations, transitions, existing membrane seams, flashings, and drains.
LIMITATIONS
• These are general guidelines for application of the WeatherWeld Seamless Roof System. The material requirements may vary depending on the specific job requirements. If unusual conditions exist, contact your local WeatherWeld Representative.
• WeatherWeld Seamless Roof Systems must be applied to structurally sound substrates and properly prepared surfaces. All surfaces must be clean and dry before application of coatings. WeatherWeld Seamless Roof Systems must not be applied over wet insulation or roofing materials. Failure of the substrate does not constitute failure of the WeatherWeld coating or system. • WeatherWeld Seamless Roof Systems are designed for use on roofs with positive drainage.
1. Do not begin when rain or other conditions such as fog or heavy dew are possible within a 48-hour period.
2. Surfaces must be at least 6° F (3° C) above the dew point, and rising. Surfaces must be clean before application of product. Care must be taken to ensure that debris accumulation after original cleaning does not interfere with any stage of application. If either condition occurs, additional cleaning may be required.
3. Drying time is affected by numerous factors, including temperature, direct sunlight, relative humidity, air movement, thickness, etc. Higher temperature and/or humidity will result in faster cure times. Lower temperature and/or humidity may extend cure times.
4. Deviations from these application guidelines and specific material requirements may adversely affect the roofing system performance and are strictly prohibited.
5. Applicator must comply with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations if asbestos, lead-based paint or other hazardous materials are encountered.
WEATHER RESTRICTIONS
• Do not attempt application if ice, snow, moisture, or dew is present. Ambient temperature must be 50°F (10°C) and rising through the day. Restrict application when overnight temperature drops below 40°F (4.4°C). Cooler temperatures will negatively impact the properties of the system. Contact your WeatherWeld Representative for proper cold weather applications. • Do not attempt application if moisture or dew is present. Ambient temperature must be less than 110°F (43°C). Contact WeatherWeld Representative for proper hot weather application
STORAGE
• WeatherWeld should be stored in a shaded ventilated area under a tarp. Do not store in direct sunlight. Storage temperature must range from 60-80°F (15°C to 26°C). Indoor ventilated storage is recommended when ambient temperature is below 60°F (15°C) or above 80°F (26°C).
WARRANTY
• 40-year Warranty: a written leak free guarantee that covers against roof leaks for 40 years.
• Owner responsible for ensuring roof drains stay clear, and facilitating WeatherWeld roof inspections.

City of Victorville Water - Burning Tree Golf Course Well 5 / 5 City of Victorville Water - Burning Tree Golf Course Well 6 WHAT DOES THIS ROOF NEED TO STAY WATERTIGHT?
CITY OF VICTORVILLE WATER DISTRICT – BURNING TREE GOLF COURSE WELL If your existing roof is in serviceable conditio n and targeted maintenance will solve ro of leaks for the long term, it’s recommended to repair the roof and not spend additional money o n roof reinforcement or a new roof system.
If maintaining the roof once with targeted maintenance will not keep the building watertight, reinforcing the existing roof with WeatherWeld is the next step.
Certain conditions dictate that the existing roof may not be able to be reinforced. In this case, roof removal would be required.
TARGETED MAINTENANCE
REINFORCE EXISTING ROOF
REMOVE ROOF – INSTALL NEW ROOF SYSTEM
It is recommended to perform regular maintenance on this roof using a targeted maintenance plan to repair/seal areas of the roof that could be leaking. WeatherWeld can be installed by hand for small repairs to the existing roof. The owner/facilities manager can perform repairs on their own, or have an approved contractor install WeatherWeld out of buckets. WeatherWeld’s Technical Representative will help create a scope of work and assist in creating a plan to get the roof watertight under the targeted maintenance plan.
WeatherWeld is the perfect solution to eliminate the roof leaks on this building. The existing roof can stay in place, and a WeatherWeld roof reinforcement coating system will be installed directly over the existing roof making the entire roof seamless from the top of the parapet wall to the bottom of the drain. This will eliminate all roof leaks. By installing a WeatherWeld roof on this building, the facilities team will have a leak free roof that will require no maintenance for the life of the warranty. You get the benefit of WeatherWeld encapsulating the ductwork and equipment issues all at once. The finished roof will have a white “cool roof” title 24 compliant surface.
The following cases indicate that a roof needs to be removed:
1. The building has more than one roof system installed—building code only allows a maximum of two roof systems to be installed on a building.
2. If there is trapped moisture in the roof system
3. Building modernization requires exposing the roof deck
4. Roof drainage needs improvement
5. Roof deck replacement is required on a large scale.
REINFORCE EXISTING ROOF (SILICONE ROOFS)
Silicone coatings are not compatible with typical roofing materials. The only thing that sticks to silicone, is silicone. The best solution for silicone coated roofs is to tear the roof and start over.
When removal is not possible, a new roof system can be installed over the existing roof. For coated standing seam metal, flute fill insulation can be mechanically installed, and a new seamless roof system installed creating a flat roof.
Remove top roof layer, leave the original roof in place. In some cases, the original roof system would be a candidate for WeatherWeld roof reinforcement and would count as a roof coating system. For this instance, remove only the top layer, leaving the original roof system. Once the top roof is removed, prepare the original roof, and install WeatherWeld seamless roof reinforcement.
REMOVE TOP ROOF LAYER – INSTALL NEW ROOF SYSTEM
REMOVE EXISTING ROOF – REUSE EXISTING INSULATION
Remove the existing roof and reuse existing insulation. If roofing systems requires removal but existing roof insulation can be reused, attach a ½” gypsum substrate board and install a WeatherWeld new roof reinforcement system.

7 WHY ROOFS FAIL
WHY DOES THE EXISTING ROOF FAIL?
Roofing systems fail for various reasons in a western climate like California. The following are examples of common failures.
Physical Effects
• UV Exposure: The primary reason for roofing failure is UV exposure. The Sun deteriorates roofing membranes faster than other climate regions.
• Thermal expansion and contraction: with an average temperature swing of 30 degrees, buildings cycle a minimum of 2 times a day.
Over time, this creates concentrated stress on roofing materials. • Age: All roofs deteriorate with age. When you combine the factors above, roofs dry out and become brittle, seams degrade, and roof systems lose the ability to keep the building waterproof.
Existing Roof Types and Common Issues
Built-up roof: layers of felt saturated in asphalt is one of the oldest types of roofing. As built-up roofs age, UV exposure dries out asphalt, making it brittle. This causes the roof to lose strength and elongation after approximately 10 years.
The following observations can help determine the condition of built-up roofs through visual inspection:
• Micro granules piled up near roof drains
• Exposed fiberglass felt in the field of the roof
• Ridging, buckling, or blistering in the roof system.
• Material shrinkage at intersections and base flashings
Modified built-up roofs have the same observations above and close inspection could show UV damage creating micro fractures in the roof membrane.
Gravel surfaced built-up roofs have the same observations above except damage is hidden due to the roof being covered with loose gravel—inspect carefully.
Single ply roofs: thin layers of plastic rolled out, creating a plastic membrane, must be seamed/welded by hand in the field. Rolls are designed to be installed on flat surfaces with no penetrations. Material ranges between 30 and 70 mills (extremely thin), depending on plastic membrane type. The life cycle of plastic roof membranes varies drastically on the type of plastic and the location where material is installed.
A perfectly installed single ply in perfect climate might last 20 years. However, results are not typical, and life cycle varies. Single ply roofs fail for various reasons. The following observations can help determine the condition of single ply roofs through visual inspection:
• Chalking or cracking on the surface of the membrane
• Loose or delaminated seams
• Exposed scrim/fabric reinforcement
• Burn through at roof fasteners (discoloration at fasteners and plates) • Fluttering of membrane in windy conditions
• Discoloration and other types of surface changes in plastic membrane • Material shrinkage at intersections and base flashings
Foam and coating roofs: Spray applied foam relies on the surface coating to protect the foam underneath. As soon as the thin surface coating wears away, foam absorbs water and basically turns it into a sponge. Foam roofs require recoating the foam on a maintenance plan (5-10 years). Foam should be considered a roof maintenance system because these types of roofs are only as watertight as the thin coating on top. The following observations can help determine the condition of foam roofs through visual inspection:
• Deterioration of surface coating exposing foam insulation underneath • Blisters in foam layers
• Wet sponge-like areas where water is saturated into foam insulation • Holes in roof where animals peck holes in roof surface • Uneven application inhibiting water drainage
Metal roofs: roofs with standing seam or corrugated metal rely on overlapped/crimped sheet metal panels to remain watertight. In most cases, sheet metal panels are not the cause of roof leaks. Building movement, UV deterioration of waterproofing seals, and unsealed fasteners create roof leaks. In rare occurrences, oxidation or deterioration of surface coatings corrodes the sheet metal creating rust and holes in the panel itself. The following observations can help determine the condition of metal roofs through visual inspection:
• Exposed sheet metal seams
• Failed repair material seals at seams, penetrations, and joints • Backed out fasteners with deteriorated rubber gaskets • Oxidation/rust in panels
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN TO REPLACE MY ROOF?
If the roof can be repaired to get the roof watertight, repair the roof. If repair won’t solve all the roof problems or repair would be too extensive, roof reinforcement of the entire roof is recommended.
In some cases, legally or structurally, where the roof cannot be reinforced, removal may be required to start with a new roof system.
8 OPTIONS
WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OF MY ROOF?
Remove and replace the entire roof system
Most roofs with only one layer installed do not require removal. A roof needs to be removed only if there is underlying deck damage, moisture, or design defect in the existing roof system. Buildings that have two roof systems/layers installed, must be removed because building code doesn’t allow more than two layers of roofing on a building. Roof removal also requires a minimum R-Value requirement to meet CA Title 24. This cost could be significant considering the cost of removal and flashing height increases, plus the cost of disruption to the building and its occupants. This is the worst-case scenario and only recommended when required.
Reinforce the existing roof
Your existing roof leaks because the roofing system has lost its ability to keep the roof watertight. This could be due to uv exposure, moisture in the roofing system, failing seams, or improper installation from the start. Overall, most roofs over 10 years old have lost the strength required to remain watertight.
Seamless Roof Reinforcement is stronger than the existing roof was when it was new. WeatherWeld takes place of the existing roof, creating a seamless reinforced membrane designed to encapsulate most existing roofs from the top of a wall continuously into the drain, making roof leaks impossible.
OTHER ROOFING OPTIONS - WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?
“ROOF RESTORATION”
There is no such thing. Age affects roofs the same way it affects people and everything else. You can’t make something old into something new. Plasticizers will not regenerate within the materials, and the tensile strength lost through cycle fatigue will not return. The laws of physics always trump the promises of marketing. Cool roof coatings and “restoration” products are marketing hoaxes—they can’t penetrate the existing substrate matrix at any meaningful depth and are not thick enough to be resilient long term.
COATINGS
Elastomeric and silicone are another false hope. Coating a roof does nothing but cover the roof in its existing condition with a layer of paint. The “guarantees” that are issued on these systems usually cover only material, not leaks. We have seen many 50-year silicone guarantees, but have never seen a silicone roof last a warranty length still in service.
SINGLE PLY
Single ply is a product that must be patched and repaired from the start. Typical installations with TPO and PVC last less than 15 years in the Western United States. Plastic sheets must be unrolled and welded with a hot air welder at every seam. This creates the possibility for human error.
Every seam must be physically inspected because you are left with a thin sheet of plastic with miles of welds and patches on a typical roof. The sun degrades synthetic materials at unpredictable rates, and this means the lifecycle of synthetic materials are hard to judge. This is the reason why most single plies are reformulated repeatedly.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN CHOOSING A ROOF
A long-term solution to keep the roof watertight should have the following characteristics:
SEAMLESS: The existing roof leaks because it has seams. Water finds a seam and leaks into your building.
Theoretically, if a roof is seamless, there would be no place for it to leak.
STRONG: A roof must be strong enough to withstand thermal movement.
DURABLE: The seamless membrane must be resistant to rooftop traffic, debris on the roof, and rooftop equipment.
TIME TESTED: The product must have a real track record of successful performance in real life applications, not just accelerated weathering tests in a lab. Note that most single ply and coatings have not been around for a warranty period.
GUARANTEED: An NDL warranty that covers labor, material, and repairs, for the life of the warranty. Most warranties cover material but not labor; the fine print with warranty exclusions lets manufacturers escape liability.
AFFORDABLE: Add up the cost of the roof, including maintenance and replacement over 40 years. Why 40 years? Because most buildings will be here 40 years from now. When you choose roof systems that are designed to last with minimal maintenance, the lifecycle cost is lower.
9 WeatherWeld is a roof designed to withstand the elements and provide a leak free roof for generations. More than 30 years ago, WeatherWeld created a seamless roof system designed to reinforce existing roofs by combining the strongest long-lasting materials in the world. By combining ceramic emulsion and intertwined fiberglass together, the seamless membrane encapsulates the entire roof from the top of the wall to the bottom of the drain.
CHARACTERISTICS OF WEATHERWELD
SEAMLESS: WeatherWeld makes your roof one seamless encapsulated membrane.
STRONG: WeatherWeld is reinforced with unbelievable amounts of long strand fiberglass, which creates a membrane that you can literally drive a truck on.
DURABLE: WeatherWeld is resistant to rooftop traffic and damage.
ROBUST: WeatherWeld is thick and durable; when you see it, you’ll be able to tell why it lasts so long.
TIME TESTED: WeatherWeld is one of the only roofs in the world that has lasted a warranty length and is still in excellent condition; 30+ years and still doing its job of keeping buildings watertight.
GUARANTEED: The real warranty in a roof is in the product. Don’t buy based on marketing materials. Rather, buy a product that you can see will last. WeatherWeld comes with an industry leading 40-year NDL warranty that’s simple: “IF IT LEAKS, WE FIX IT.”
AFFORDABLE: The cheapest most cost-effective way for you to have a leak-free roof for generations, is to buy the right roof the first time; a roof that won't require maintenance or replacement.
SAFE: Using environmentally friendly materials that are water based, there is very little smell and disruption during installation. Most school and healthcare clients install WeatherWeld when buildings are occupied, with no complaints.
WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU BUY
WeatherWeld:
• Is ¼” thick, made of strong and durable materials.
Coatings and restoration systems are thin and weak
• Comes with a 40-year NDL warranty.
Coatings and restoration systems offer warranties between 10 and 20 years, and they HAVE EXCLUSIONS for your type of roof.
• Is seamless. It’s one encapsulated piece from the top of the wall to the bottom of the drain.
Coatings and restoration systems are reinforced with a thin weak piece of polyester; some are not even reinforced.

12 OVERVIEW
Installation of the WeatherWeld system is a simple 5 step process:
1. Prepare surfaces, seams, walls, flashings, drains, and penetrations.
2. Install base sheet
3. Spray apply WeatherWeld reinforced membrane.
4. Spray apply reflective acrylic coating system.
5. Install flashings and roof accessories.
Contact WeatherWeld representative for final inspection.
PREPARATION
• Prior to installation, ensure that adhesion testing was conducted in accordance with WeatherWeld adhesion testing procedures to verify a minimum adhesion strength of four (4) pounds per linear inch (pli) to the applicable substrates. When calculating material requirements for a particular project, consideration must be given to applicator variance and surface texture.
• Confirm local water run-off ordinances and restrictions prior to cleaning roof. • Pressure wash all surfaces receiving WeatherWeld to remove all dust, dirt, debris and other foreign contaminants.
• If the roof surface becomes contaminated with dirt, dust, or other particles at any time during the application of the WeatherWeld system, cleaning measures must be taken to restore the surface to a suitable condition. • Ensure roof is dry prior to application.
BASE SHEET INSTALLATION
• Install base sheet (inverted G3 over wood), lapping 2” on side laps and 4” at end laps using approved fasteners.
• Install base sheet, lapping 2” on center and 4” at end laps using approved fasteners.
• Fastening pattern must meet FM 1-90 wind uplift requirements.
WEATHERWELD SEAMLESS ROOFING APPLICATION
• Apply one layer of the composite roofing at the following ratio:
1. Asphalt Emulsion: 30 gal. per 100 square feet (12.2 L/m2).
2. Fiberglass Roving: 16 lb. per 100 square feet (0 .78 Kg/m2). • DO NOT DILUTE. No water or filler material may be added to the emulsion to thin or extend pot life.
• Fiberglass must be disbursed from the applicator in varying intertwined lengths, up to 24 inches (610mm).
• Thoroughly mix fiberglass and emulsion prior to application on roof surface. • Loose strands must be brushed by hand, removed or filled with emulsion to create a solid surface.
• Upon completion, no area may be less than 250 mil dry film thickness (DFT). • Install additional material at all roof flashings, 500 mils (DFT) of WeatherWeld composite installed, extending 24” in each direction prior to completion of the project.
• Areas where application exceeds 500 mils wet, such as base flashings and penetrations, brush by hand to prevent surface crazing.
REFLECTIVE COATING INSTALLATION
• Prior to coating application, wash the roof surface with water. • Do not continue until all surfaces have thoroughly dried, confirmed by a reading of zero on a calibrated moisture meter.
1. Acrylic Base Coating: Apply Base Coating at 1 1/2 gal. per 100 square feet (0.6 L/m2).
2. Acrylic Top Coating: Apply Reflective Top Coating at 1 1/2 gal. per 100 square feet (0.6 L/m2).
or
3. (Alternate) Aluminum Coating: Apply Reflective Coating at 2 gal. per 100 square feet (0.8 L/m2).
FLASHINGS
• All flashings must have 500 mills DFT of WeatherWeld Composite installed extending 24” in each direction.
• The following items are required to be in watertight condition for a WeatherWeld warranty to be issued for the project:
1. Drains and Scuppers.
2. Sheetmetal Copings and Counter-Flashings.
3. Perimeter and Edge Flashings.
4. Equipment Platforms and Sheetmetal Pans.
5. Expansion Joints.
6. Sheetmetal Ducts and Seals.
7. Electrical Enclosures and Conduits.
8. Transition Flashings.
9. Any other item that may affect the watertightness of the Roof.
ROOF ACCESSORIES (INSTALLED AFTER COATING SYSTEM)
• Walkway Pads or Non-Slip Walking Surface
• Polymer Pipe Supports, Storm Collars on Pipes, Drain Rings and Screens • Coping Caps and Flashings
• Access Hatches and Ladders
INSPECTION
• Inspect entire roof area and touch-up deficient areas with WeatherWeld or reflective coating as necessary to ensure complete and uniform coverage.
Special attention should be given to critical areas of roof, including roof penetrations, transitions, existing membrane seams, flashings, and drains.
LIMITATIONS
• These are general guidelines for application of the WeatherWeld Seamless Roof System. The material requirements may vary depending on the specific job requirements. If unusual conditions exist, contact your local WeatherWeld Representative.
• WeatherWeld Seamless Roof Systems must be applied to structurally sound substrates and properly prepared surfaces. All surfaces must be clean and dry before application of coatings. WeatherWeld Seamless Roof Systems must not be applied over wet insulation or roofing materials. Failure of the substrate does not constitute failure of the WeatherWeld coating or system. • WeatherWeld Seamless Roof Systems are designed for use on roofs with positive drainage.
1. Do not begin when rain or other conditions such as fog or heavy dew are possible within a 48-hour period.
2. Surfaces must be at least 6° F (3° C) above the dew point, and rising. Surfaces must be clean before application of product. Care must be taken to ensure that debris accumulation after original cleaning does not interfere with any stage of application. If either condition occurs, additional cleaning may be required.
3. Drying time is affected by numerous factors, including temperature, direct sunlight, relative humidity, air movement, thickness, etc. Higher temperature and/or humidity will result in faster cure times. Lower temperature and/or humidity may extend cure times.
4. Deviations from these application guidelines and specific material requirements may adversely affect the roofing system performance and are strictly prohibited.
5. Applicator must comply with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations if asbestos, lead-based paint or other hazardous materials are encountered.
WEATHER RESTRICTIONS
• Do not attempt application if ice, snow, moisture, or dew is present. Ambient temperature must be 50°F (10°C) and rising through the day. Restrict application when overnight temperature drops below 40°F (4.4°C). Cooler temperatures will negatively impact the properties of the system. Contact your WeatherWeld Representative for proper cold weather applications. • Do not attempt application if moisture or dew is present. Ambient temperature must be less than 110°F (43°C). Contact WeatherWeld Representative for proper hot weather application
STORAGE
• WeatherWeld should be stored in a shaded ventilated area under a tarp. Do not store in direct sunlight. Storage temperature must range from 60-80°F (15°C to 26°C). Indoor ventilated storage is recommended when ambient temperature is below 60°F (15°C) or above 80°F (26°C).

City of Victorville, Water District - White Road Booster Station 4 / 4 City of Victorville Water - White Road Booster Station 5 WHAT DOES THIS ROOF NEED TO STAY WATERTIGHT?
CITY OF VICTORVILLE WATER DISTRICT – WHITE ROAD BOOSTER If your existing roof is in serviceable condition and targeted maintenance will solve roof leaks for the long term, it’s recommended to repair the roof and not spend additional money on roof reinforcement or a new roof system.
If maintaining the roof once with targeted maintenance will not keep the building watertight, reinforcing the existing roof with WeatherWeld is the next step.
Certain conditions dictate that the existing roof may not be able to be reinforced. In this case, roof removal would be required.
TARGETED MAINTENANCE
REINFORCE EXISTING ROOF
REMOVE ROOF – INSTALL NEW ROOF SYSTEM
It is recommended to perform regular maintenance on this roof using a targeted maintenance plan to repair/seal areas of the roof that could be leaking. WeatherWeld can be installed by hand for small repairs to the existing roof. The owner/facilities manager can perform repairs on their own, or have an approved contractor install WeatherWeld out of buckets. WeatherWeld’s Technical Representative will help create a scope of work and assist in creating a plan to get the roof watertight under the targeted maintenance plan.
WeatherWeld is the perfect solution to eliminate the roof leaks on this building. The existing roof can stay in place, and a WeatherWeld roof reinforcement coating system will be installed directly over the existing roof making the entire roof seamless from the top of the parapet wall to the bottom of the drain. This will eliminate all roof leaks. By installing a WeatherWeld roof on this building, the facilities team will have a leak free roof that will require no maintenance for the life of the warranty. You get the benefit of WeatherWeld encapsulating the ductwork and equipment issues all at once. The finished roof will have a white “cool roof” title 24 compliant surface.
The following cases indicate that a roof needs to be removed:
1. The building has more than one roof system installed—building code only allows a maximum of two roof systems to be installed on a building.
2. If there is trapped moisture in the roof system
3. Building modernization requires exposing the roof deck
4. Roof drainage needs improvement
5. Roof deck replacement is required on a large scale.
REINFORCE EXISTING ROOF (SILICONE ROOFS)
Silicone coatings are not compatible with typical roofing materials. The only thing that sticks to silicone, is silicone. The best solution for silicone coated roofs is to tear the roof and start over.
When removal is not possible, a new roof system can be installed over the existing roof. For coated standing seam metal, flute fill insulation can be mechanically installed, and a new seamless roof system installed creating a flat roof.
Remove top roof layer, leave the original roof in place. In some cases, the original roof system would be a candidate for WeatherWeld roof reinforcement and would count as a roof coating system. For this instance, remove only the top layer, leaving the original roof system. Once the top roof is removed, prepare the original roof, and install WeatherWeld seamless roof reinforcement.
REMOVE TOP ROOF LAYER – INSTALL NEW ROOF SYSTEM
REMOVE EXISTING ROOF – REUSE EXISTING INSULATION
Remove the existing roof and reuse existing insulation. If roofing systems requires removal but existing roof insulation can be reused, attach a ½” gypsum substrate board and install a WeatherWeld new roof reinforcement system.

6 WHY ROOFS FAIL
WHY DOES THE EXISTING ROOF FAIL?
Roofing systems fail for various reasons in a western climate like California. The following are examples of common failures.
Physical Effects
• UV Exposure: The primary reason for roofing failure is UV exposure. The Sun deteriorates roofing membranes faster than other climate regions.
• Thermal expansion and contraction: with an average temperature swing of 30 degrees, buildings cycle a minimum of 2 times a day.
Over time, this creates concentrated stress on roofing materials. • Age: All roofs deteriorate with age. When you combine the factors above, roofs dry out and become brittle, seams degrade, and roof systems lose the ability to keep the building waterproof.
Existing Roof Types and Common Issues
Built-up roof: layers of felt saturated in asphalt is one of the oldest types of roofing. As built-up roofs age, UV exposure dries out asphalt, making it brittle. This causes the roof to lose strength and elongation after approximately 10 years.
The following observations can help determine the condition of built-up roofs through visual inspection:
• Micro granules piled up near roof drains
• Exposed fiberglass felt in the field of the roof
• Ridging, buckling, or blistering in the roof system.
• Material shrinkage at intersections and base flashings Modified built-up roofs have the same observations above and close inspection could show UV damage creating micro fractures in the roof membrane.
Gravel surfaced built-up roofs have the same observations above except damage is hidden due to the roof being covered with loose gravel—inspect carefully.
Single ply roofs: thin layers of plastic rolled out, creating a plastic membrane, must be seamed/welded by hand in the field. Rolls are designed to be installed on flat surfaces with no penetrations. Material ranges between 30 and 70 mills (extremely thin), depending on plastic membrane type. The life cycle of plastic roof membranes varies drastically on the type of plastic and the location where material is installed.
A perfectly installed single ply in perfect climate might last 20 years. However, results are not typical, and life cycle varies. Single ply roofs fail for various reasons. The following observations can help determine the condition of single ply roofs through visual inspection:
• Chalking or cracking on the surface of the membrane
• Loose or delaminated seams
• Exposed scrim/fabric reinforcement
• Burn through at roof fasteners (discoloration at fasteners and plates) • Fluttering of membrane in windy conditions
• Discoloration and other types of surface changes in plastic membrane • Material shrinkage at intersections and base flashings Foam and coating roofs: Spray applied foam relies on the surface coating to protect the foam underneath. As soon as the thin surface coating wears away, foam absorbs water and basically turns it into a sponge. Foam roofs require recoating the foam on a maintenance plan (5-10 years). Foam should be considered a roof maintenance system because these types of roofs are only as watertight as the thin coating on top. The following observations can help determine the condition of foam roofs through visual inspection:
• Deterioration of surface coating exposing foam insulation underneath • Blisters in foam layers
• Wet sponge-like areas where water is saturated into foam insulation • Holes in roof where animals peck holes in roof surface • Uneven application inhibiting water drainage
Metal roofs: roofs with standing seam or corrugated metal rely on overlapped/crimped sheet metal panels to remain watertight. In most cases, sheet metal panels are not the cause of roof leaks. Building movement, UV deterioration of waterproofing seals, and unsealed fasteners create roof leaks. In rare occurrences, oxidation or deterioration of surface coatings corrodes the sheet metal creating rust and holes in the panel itself. The following observations can help determine the condition of metal roofs through visual inspection:
• Exposed sheet metal seams
• Failed repair material seals at seams, penetrations, and joints • Backed out fasteners with deteriorated rubber gaskets • Oxidation/rust in panels
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN TO REPLACE MY ROOF?
If the roof can be repaired to get the roof watertight, repair the roof. If repair won’t solve all the roof problems or repair would be too extensive, roof reinforcement of the entire roof is recommended.
In some cases, legally or structurally, where the roof cannot be reinforced, removal may be required to start with a new roof system. 7 OPTIONS
WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OF MY ROOF?
Remove and replace the entire roof system
Most roofs with only one layer installed do not require removal. A roof needs to be removed only if there is underlying deck damage, moisture, or design defect in the existing roof system. Buildings that have two roof systems/layers installed, must be removed because building code doesn’t allow more than two layers of roofing on a building. Roof removal also requires a minimum R-Value requirement to meet CA Title 24. This cost could be significant considering the cost of removal and flashing height increases, plus the cost of disruption to the building and its occupants. This is the worst-case scenario and only recommended when required.
Reinforce the existing roof
Your existing roof leaks because the roofing system has lost its ability to keep the roof watertight. This could be due to uv exposure, moisture in the roofing system, failing seams, or improper installation from the start. Overall, most roofs over 10 years old have lost the strength required to remain watertight.
Seamless Roof Reinforcement is stronger than the existing roof was when it was new. WeatherWeld takes place of the existing roof, creating a seamless reinforced membrane designed to encapsulate most existing roofs from the top of a wall continuously into the drain, making roof leaks impossible.
OTHER ROOFING OPTIONS - WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?
“ROOF RESTORATION”
There is no such thing. Age affects roofs the same way it affects people and everything else. You can’t make something old into something new. Plasticizers will not regenerate within the materials, and the tensile strength lost through cycle fatigue will not return. The laws of physics always trump the promises of marketing. Cool roof coatings and “restoration” products are marketing hoaxes—they can’t penetrate the existing substrate matrix at any meaningful depth and are not thick enough to be resilient long term.
COATINGS
Elastomeric and silicone are another false hope. Coating a roof does nothing but cover the roof in its existing condition with a layer of paint. The “guarantees” that are issued on these systems usually cover only material, not leaks. We have seen many 50-year silicone guarantees, but have never seen a silicone roof last a warranty length still in service.
SINGLE PLY
Single ply is a product that must be patched and repaired from the start. Typical installations with TPO and PVC last less than 15 years in the Western United States. Plastic sheets must be unrolled and welded with a hot air welder at every seam. This creates the possibility for human error.
Every seam must be physically inspected because you are left with a thin sheet of plastic with miles of welds and patches on a typical roof. The sun degrades synthetic materials at unpredictable rates, and this means the lifecycle of synthetic materials are hard to judge. This is the reason why most single plies are reformulated repeatedly.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN CHOOSING A ROOF
A long-term solution to keep the roof watertight should have the following characteristics:
SEAMLESS: The existing roof leaks because it has seams. Water finds a seam and leaks into your building.
Theoretically, if a roof is seamless, there would be no place for it to leak.
STRONG: A roof must be strong enough to withstand thermal movement.
DURABLE: The seamless membrane must be resistant to rooftop traffic, debris on the roof, and rooftop equipment.
TIME TESTED: The product must have a real track record of successful performance in real life applications, not just accelerated weathering tests in a lab. Note that most single ply and coatings have not been around for a warranty period.
GUARANTEED: An NDL warranty that covers labor, material, and repairs, for the life of the warranty. Most warranties cover material but not labor; the fine print with warranty exclusions lets manufacturers escape liability.
AFFORDABLE: Add up the cost of the roof, including maintenance and replacement over 40 years. Why 40 years? Because most buildings will be here 40 years from now. When you choose roof systems that are designed to last with minimal maintenance, the lifecycle cost is lower. 8 WeatherWeld is a roof designed to withstand the elements and provide a leak free roof for generations. More than 30 years ago, WeatherWeld created a seamless roof system designed to reinforce existing roofs by combining the strongest long-lasting materials in the world. By combining ceramic emulsion and intertwined fiberglass together, the seamless membrane encapsulates the entire roof from the top of the wall to the bottom of the drain.
CHARACTERISTICS OF WEATHERWELD
SEAMLESS: WeatherWeld makes your roof one seamless encapsulated membrane.
STRONG: WeatherWeld is reinforced with unbelievable amounts of long strand fiberglass, which creates a membrane that you can literally drive a truck on.
DURABLE: WeatherWeld is resistant to rooftop traffic and damage.
ROBUST: WeatherWeld is thick and durable; when you see it, you’ll be able to tell why it lasts so long.
TIME TESTED: WeatherWeld is one of the only roofs in the world that has lasted a warranty length and is still in excellent condition; 30+ years and still doing its job of keeping buildings watertight.
GUARANTEED: The real warranty in a roof is in the product. Don’t buy based on marketing materials. Rather, buy a product that you can see will last. WeatherWeld comes with an industry leading 40-year NDL warranty that’s simple: “IF IT LEAKS, WE FIX IT.”
AFFORDABLE: The cheapest most cost-effective way for you to have a leak-free roof for generations, is to buy the right roof the first time; a roof that won't require maintenance or replacement.
SAFE: Using environmentally friendly materials that are water based, there is very little smell and disruption during installation. Most school and healthcare clients install WeatherWeld when buildings are occupied, with no complaints.
WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU BUY
WeatherWeld:
• Is ¼” thick, made of strong and durable materials.
Coatings and restoration systems are thin and weak
• Comes with a 40-year NDL warranty.
Coatings and restoration systems offer warranties between 10 and 20 years, and they HAVE EXCLUSIONS for your type of roof.
• Is seamless. It’s one encapsulated piece from the top of the wall to the bottom of the drain.
Coatings and restoration systems are reinforced with a thin weak piece of polyester; some are not even reinforced.
Unreinforced means not strong, and roof movement will continue (this means the roof will still leak). • Comes with turnkey support. With WeatherWeld, you get a dedicated technical team that is available 24/7 to ensure your WeatherWeld roof will last for generations. You get everything from reports, diagnostics, on-site inspections, etc.
Coatings and restoration companies either have zero technical support or they charge for inspection and services—you deserve a simple process from start to finish.
• Is simple to repair. When you need to put new equipment or penetrations on the roof, repairing WeatherWeld is simple. WeatherWeld repair is available in a bucket that you or your maintenance team can install by hand. Simply contact us, and problem solved!
• Requires no maintenance. All you have to do is keep the drains clear.

12 OVERVIEW
Installation of the WeatherWeld system is a simple 4 step process:
1. Prepare surfaces, seams, walls, flashings, drains, and penetrations.
2. Spray apply WeatherWeld reinforced membrane.
3. Spray apply reflective acrylic coating system.
4. Install flashings and roof accessories.
Contact WeatherWeld representative for final inspection.
PREPARATION
• Prior to installation, ensure that adhesion testing was conducted in accordance with W
eatherWeld adhesion testing procedures to verify
a minimum adhesion strength of four (4) pounds per linear inch (pli) to the applicable substrates. When calculating material requirements for a particular project, consideration must be given to applicator variance and surface texture.
• Confirm local water run-off ordinances and restrictions prior to cleaning roof. • Pressure wash all surfaces receiving WeatherWeld to remove all dust, dirt, debris and other foreign contaminants.
• If the roof surface becomes contaminated with dirt, dust, or other particles at any time during the application of the W
eatherWeld system, cleaning
measures must be taken to restore the surface to a suitable condition. • Ensure roof is dry prior to application.
WEATHERWELD SEAMLESS ROOFING APPLICATION
• Apply one layer of the composite roofing at the following ratio:
1. Asphalt Emulsion: 30 gal. per 100 square feet (12.2 L/m2).
2. Fiberglass Roving: 16 lb. per 100 square feet (0. 78 Kg/m2). • DO NOT DILUTE. No water or filler material may be added to the emulsion to thin or extend pot life.
• Fiberglass must be disbursed from the applicator in varying intertwined lengths, up to 24 inches (610mm).
• Thoroughly mix fiberglass and emulsion prior to application on roof surface. • Loose strands must be brushed by hand, removed or filled with emulsion to create a solid surface.
• Upon completion, no area may be less than 250 mil dry film thickness (DFT). • Install additional material at all roof flashings, 500 mils (DFT) of WeatherWeld composite installed, extending 24” in each direction prior to completion of the project.
• Areas where application exceeds 500 mils wet, such as base flashings and penetrations, brush by hand to prevent surface crazing.
REFLECTIVE COATING INSTALLATION
• Prior to coating application, wash the roof surface with water. • Do not continue until all surfaces have thoroughly dried, confirmed by a reading of zero on a calibrated moisture meter
.
1. Acrylic Base Coating: Apply Base Coating at 1 1/2 gal. per 100 square feet (0
.6 L/m2).
2. Acrylic Top Coating: Apply Reflective Top Coating at 1 1/2 gal. per 100 square feet (0.6 L/m2).
or
3. (Alternate) Aluminum Coating: Apply Reflective Coating at 2 gal. per 100 square feet (0.8 L/m2).
FLASHINGS
• All flashings must have 500 mills DFT of WeatherWeld Composite installed extending 24” in each direction.
• The following items are required to be in watertight condition for a W
eatherWeld warranty to be issued for the project:
1. Drains and Scuppers.
2. Sheetmetal Copings and Counter-Flashings.
3. Perimeter and Edge Flashings.
4. Equipment Platforms and Sheetmetal Pans.
5. Expansion Joints.
6. Sheetmetal Ducts and Seals.
7. Electrical Enclosures and Conduits.
8. Transition Flashings.
9. Any other item that may affect the watertightness of the Roof.
ROOF ACCESSORIES (INSTALLED AFTER COATING SYSTEM)
• Walkway Pads or Non-Slip Walking Surface
• Polymer Pipe Supports, Storm Collars on Pipes, Drain Rings and Screens • Coping Caps and Flashings
• Access Hatches and Ladders
INSPECTION
• Inspect entire roof area and touch-up deficient areas with WeatherWeld or reflective coating as necessary to ensure complete and uniform coverage.
Special attention should be given to critical areas of roof, including roof penetrations, transitions, existing membrane seams, flashings, and drains.
LIMITATIONS
• These are general guidelines for application of the WeatherWeld Seamless Roof System. The material requirements may vary depending on the specific job requirements. If unusual conditions exist, contact your local WeatherWeld Representative.
• WeatherWeld Seamless Roof Systems must be applied to structurally sound substrates and properly prepared surfaces. All surfaces must be clean and dry before application of coatings. WeatherWeld Seamless Roof Systems must not be applied over wet insulation or roofing materials. Failure of the substrate does not constitute failure of the WeatherWeld coating or system. • WeatherWeld Seamless Roof Systems are designed for use on roofs with positive drainage.
1. Do not begin when rain or other conditions such as fog or heavy dew are possible within a 48-hour period.
2. Surfaces must be at least 6° F (3° C) above the dew point, and rising. Surfaces must be clean before application of product. Care must be tak
en to ensure that debris accumulation after original
cleaning does not interfere with any stage of application. If either condition occurs, additional cleaning may be required.
3. Drying time is affected by numerous factors, including temperature
, direct sunlight, relative humidity, air movement,
thickness, etc. Higher temperature and/or humidity will result in faster cure times. Lower temperature and/or humidity may extend cure times.
4. Deviations from these application guidelines and specific material requirements may adversely affect the roofing system performance and are strictly prohibited.
5. Applicator must comply with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations if asbestos, lead-based paint or other hazardous materials are encountered.
WEATHER RESTRICTIONS
• Do not attempt application if ice, snow, moisture, or dew is present. Ambient temperature must be 50°F (10°C) and rising through the day. Restrict application when overnight temperature drops below 40°F (4.4°C). Cooler temperatures will negatively impact the properties of the system. Contact your WeatherWeld Representative for proper cold weather applications. • Do not attempt application if moisture or dew is present. Ambient temperature must be less than 110°F (43°C). Contact W
eatherWeld
Representative for proper hot weather application
STORAGE

Project: City of Victorville Water - 395 Booster
Date: 8/22/2025, 2:37pm
Creator: Kody Berry
The roof was core tested to determine the components of the roofing system from the deck up.
The roof assembly for this building consists of a:
• Plywood Roof Deck
• Built Up Roof
3 This core test hole was patched and is 100% watertight.
The core sample was retained for our internal testing.
Project: City of Victorville Water - 395 Booster

This type of roof consists of multiple layers of rolled ma- terial made of asphalt. Because this type of roof relies on adhesive or asphalt waterproofing in between seams, it is difficult to keep this type of roof watertight. Considering the age of the roof and the number of penetrations, a per-
manent solution is required in order to keep this building watertight in the long term.
The three skylights on this building will be replaced with aluminum hatches and is included in the budget.
The exhaust fan on this building will be replaced with a large-capacity fan and curb. This replacement is included in the project budget.

Roof Drainage:
Roof scuppers are a type of drain designed to drain water through a wall. They are made of sheetmetal and rely on roofing material sealing to the flange of the scupper.
Common roof leaks at roof scuppers include failure at
sheetmetal flange and sealant failure at the outside of the wall.
It is always recommended to remove existing and install new scuppers during roof installation.

The perimeter has a parapet wall roofed to the top and a sheet
metal coping installed.
WeatherWeld will encapsulate the roof to the outside
edge of wall.
During roof work, existing coping will be removed and
replaced.

CITY OF VICTORVILLE WATER DISTRICT – 395 BOOSTER
If your existing roof is in serviceable condition and targeted maintenance will solve roof leaks for the long term, it’s recommended to repair the roof and not spend additional money on roof reinforcement or a new roof system.
If maintaining the roof once with targeted maintenance will not keep the building watertight, reinforcing the existing roof with WeatherWeld is the next step.
Certain conditions dictate that the existing roof may not be able to be reinforced. In this case, roof removal would be required.
TARGETED MAINTENANCE
REINFORCE EXISTING ROOF
REMOVE ROOF – INSTALL NEW ROOF SYSTEM
It is recommended to perform regular maintenance on this roof using a targeted maintenance plan to repair/seal areas of the roof that could be leaking. WeatherWeld can be installed by hand for small repairs to the existing roof. The owner/facilities manager can perform repairs on their own, or have an approved contractor install WeatherWeld out of buckets. WeatherWeld’s Technical Representative will help create a scope of work and assist in creating a plan to get the roof watertight under the targeted maintenance plan.
WeatherWeld is the perfect solution to eliminate the roof leaks on this building. The existing roof can stay in place, and a WeatherWeld roof reinforcement coating system will be installed directly over the existing roof making the entire roof seamless from the top of the parapet wall to the bottom of the drain. This will eliminate all roof leaks. By installing a WeatherWeld roof on this building, the facilities team will have a leak free roof that will require no maintenance for the life of the warranty. You get the benefit of WeatherWeld encapsulating the ductwork and equipment issues all at once. The finished roof will have a white “cool roof” title 24 compliant surface.
The following cases indicate that a roof needs to be removed:
1. The building has more than one roof system installed—building code only allows a maximum of two roof systems to be installed on a building.
2. If there is trapped moisture in the roof system
3. Building modernization requires exposing the roof deck
4. Roof drainage needs improvement
5. Roof deck replacement is required on a large scale.
REINFORCE EXISTING ROOF (SILICONE ROOFS)
Silicone coatings are not compatible with typical roofing materials. The only thing that sticks to silicone, is silicone. The best solution for silicone coated roofs is to tear the roof and start over.
When removal is not possible, a new roof system can be installed over the existing roof. For coated standing seam metal, flute fill insulation can be mechanically installed, and a new seamless roof system installed creating a flat roof.
Remove top roof layer, leave the original roof in place. In some cases, the original roof system would be a candidate for WeatherWeld roof reinforcement and would count as a roof coating system. For this instance, remove only the top layer, leaving the original roof system. Once the top roof is removed, prepare the original roof, and install WeatherWeld seamless roof reinforcement.
REMOVE TOP ROOF LAYER – INSTALL NEW ROOF SYSTEM
REMOVE EXISTING ROOF – REUSE EXISTING INSULATION
Remove the existing roof and reuse existing insulation. If roofing systems requires removal but existing roof insulation can be reused, attach a ½” gypsum substrate board and install a WeatherWeld new roof reinforcement system.

6 WHY ROOFS FAIL
WHY DOES THE EXISTING ROOF FAIL?
Roofing systems fail for various reasons in a western climate like California. The following are examples of common failures.
Physical Effects
• UV Exposure: The primary reason for roofing failure is UV exposure. The Sun deteriorates roofing membranes faster than other climate regions.
• Thermal expansion and contraction: with an average temperature swing of 30 degrees, buildings cycle a minimum of 2 times a day.
Over time, this creates concentrated stress on roofing materials. • Age: All roofs deteriorate with age. When you combine the factors above, roofs dry out and become brittle, seams degrade, and roof systems lose the ability to keep the building waterproof.
Existing Roof Types and Common Issues
Built-up roof: layers of felt saturated in asphalt is one of the oldest types of roofing. As built-up roofs age, UV exposure dries out asphalt, making it brittle. This causes the roof to lose strength and elongation after approximately 10 years.
The following observations can help determine the condition of built-up roofs through visual inspection:
• Micro granules piled up near roof drains
• Exposed fiberglass felt in the field of the roof
• Ridging, buckling, or blistering in the roof system.
• Material shrinkage at intersections and base flashings Modified built-up roofs have the same observations above and close inspection could show UV damage creating micro fractures in the roof membrane.
Gravel surfaced built-up roofs have the same observations above except damage is hidden due to the roof being covered with loose gravel—inspect carefully.
Single ply roofs: thin layers of plastic rolled out, creating a plastic membrane, must be seamed/welded by hand in the field. Rolls are designed to be installed on flat surfaces with no penetrations. Material ranges between 30 and 70 mills (extremely thin), depending on plastic membrane type. The life cycle of plastic roof membranes varies drastically on the type of plastic and the location where material is installed.
A perfectly installed single ply in perfect climate might last 20 years. However, results are not typical, and life cycle varies. Single ply roofs fail for various reasons. The following observations can help determine the condition of single ply roofs through visual inspection:
• Chalking or cracking on the surface of the membrane
• Loose or delaminated seams
• Exposed scrim/fabric reinforcement
• Burn through at roof fasteners (discoloration at fasteners and plates) • Fluttering of membrane in windy conditions
• Discoloration and other types of surface changes in plastic membrane • Material shrinkage at intersections and base flashings Foam and coating roofs: Spray applied foam relies on the surface coating to protect the foam underneath. As soon as the thin surface coating wears away, foam absorbs water and basically turns it into a sponge. Foam roofs require recoating the foam on a maintenance plan (5-10 years). Foam should be considered a roof maintenance system because these types of roofs are only as watertight as the thin coating on top. The following observations can help determine the condition of foam roofs through visual inspection:
• Deterioration of surface coating exposing foam insulation underneath • Blisters in foam layers
• Wet sponge-like areas where water is saturated into foam insulation • Holes in roof where animals peck holes in roof surface • Uneven application inhibiting water drainage
Metal roofs: roofs with standing seam or corrugated metal rely on overlapped/crimped sheet metal panels to remain watertight. In most cases, sheet metal panels are not the cause of roof leaks. Building movement, UV deterioration of waterproofing seals, and unsealed fasteners create roof leaks. In rare occurrences, oxidation or deterioration of surface coatings corrodes the sheet metal creating rust and holes in the panel itself. The following observations can help determine the condition of metal roofs through visual inspection:
• Exposed sheet metal seams
• Failed repair material seals at seams, penetrations, and joints • Backed out fasteners with deteriorated rubber gaskets • Oxidation/rust in panels
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN TO REPLACE MY ROOF?
If the roof can be repaired to get the roof watertight, repair the roof. If repair won’t solve all the roof problems or repair would be too extensive, roof reinforcement of the entire roof is recommended.
In some cases, legally or structurally, where the roof cannot be reinforced, removal may be required to start with a new roof system. 7 OPTIONS
WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OF MY ROOF?
Remove and replace the entire roof system
Most roofs with only one layer installed do not require removal. A roof needs to be removed only if there is underlying deck damage, moisture, or design defect in the existing roof system. Buildings that have two roof systems/layers installed, must be removed because building code doesn’t allow more than two layers of roofing on a building. Roof removal also requires a minimum R-Value requirement to meet CA Title 24. This cost could be significant considering the cost of removal and flashing height increases, plus the cost of disruption to the building and its occupants. This is the worst-case scenario and only recommended when required.
Reinforce the existing roof
Your existing roof leaks because the roofing system has lost its ability to keep the roof watertight. This could be due to uv exposure, moisture in the roofing system, failing seams, or improper installation from the start. Overall, most roofs over 10 years old have lost the strength required to remain watertight.
Seamless Roof Reinforcement is stronger than the existing roof was when it was new. WeatherWeld takes place of the existing roof, creating a seamless reinforced membrane designed to encapsulate most existing roofs from the top of a wall continuously into the drain, making roof leaks impossible.
OTHER ROOFING OPTIONS - WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?
“ROOF RESTORATION”
There is no such thing. Age affects roofs the same way it affects people and everything else. You can’t make something old into something new. Plasticizers will not regenerate within the materials, and the tensile strength lost through cycle fatigue will not return. The laws of physics always trump the promises of marketing. Cool roof coatings and “restoration” products are marketing hoaxes—they can’t penetrate the existing substrate matrix at any meaningful depth and are not thick enough to be resilient long term.
COATINGS
Elastomeric and silicone are another false hope. Coating a roof does nothing but cover the roof in its existing condition with a layer of paint. The “guarantees” that are issued on these systems usually cover only material, not leaks. We have seen many 50-year silicone guarantees, but have never seen a silicone roof last a warranty length still in service.
SINGLE PLY
Single ply is a product that must be patched and repaired from the start. Typical installations with TPO and PVC last less than 15 years in the Western United States. Plastic sheets must be unrolled and welded with a hot air welder at every seam. This creates the possibility for human error.
Every seam must be physically inspected because you are left with a thin sheet of plastic with miles of welds and patches on a typical roof. The sun degrades synthetic materials at unpredictable rates, and this means the lifecycle of synthetic materials are hard to judge. This is the reason why most single plies are reformulated repeatedly.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN CHOOSING A ROOF
A long-term solution to keep the roof watertight should have the following characteristics:
SEAMLESS: The existing roof leaks because it has seams. Water finds a seam and leaks into your building.
Theoretically, if a roof is seamless, there would be no place for it to leak.
STRONG: A roof must be strong enough to withstand thermal movement.
DURABLE: The seamless membrane must be resistant to rooftop traffic, debris on the roof, and rooftop equipment.
TIME TESTED: The product must have a real track record of successful performance in real life applications, not just accelerated weathering tests in a lab. Note that most single ply and coatings have not been around for a warranty period.
GUARANTEED: An NDL warranty that covers labor, material, and repairs, for the life of the warranty. Most warranties cover material but not labor; the fine print with warranty exclusions lets manufacturers escape liability.
AFFORDABLE: Add up the cost of the roof, including maintenance and replacement over 40 years. Why 40 years? Because most buildings will be here 40 years from now. When you choose roof systems that are designed to last with minimal maintenance, the lifecycle cost is lower.
8 WeatherWeld is a roof designed to withstand the elements and provide a leak free roof for generations. More than 30 years ago, WeatherWeld created a seamless roof system designed to reinforce existing roofs by combining the strongest long-lasting materials in the world. By combining ceramic emulsion and intertwined fiberglass together, the seamless membrane encapsulates the entire roof from the top of the wall to the bottom of the drain.
CHARACTERISTICS OF WEATHERWELD
SEAMLESS: WeatherWeld makes your roof one seamless encapsulated membrane.
STRONG: WeatherWeld is reinforced with unbelievable amounts of long strand fiberglass, which creates a membrane that you can literally drive a truck on.
DURABLE: WeatherWeld is resistant to rooftop traffic and damage.
ROBUST: WeatherWeld is thick and durable; when you see it, you’ll be able to tell why it lasts so long.
TIME TESTED: WeatherWeld is one of the only roofs in the world that has lasted a warranty length and is still in excellent condition; 30+ years and still doing its job of keeping buildings watertight.
GUARANTEED: The real warranty in a roof is in the product. Don’t buy based on marketing materials. Rather, buy a product that you can see will last. WeatherWeld comes with an industry leading 40-year NDL warranty that’s simple: “IF IT LEAKS, WE FIX IT.”
AFFORDABLE: The cheapest most cost-effective way for you to have a leak-free roof for generations, is to buy the right roof the first time; a roof that won't require maintenance or replacement.
SAFE: Using environmentally friendly materials that are water based, there is very little smell and disruption during installation. Most school and healthcare clients install WeatherWeld when buildings are occupied, with no complaints.
WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU BUY
WeatherWeld:
• Is ¼” thick, made of strong and durable materials.
Coatings and restoration systems are thin and weak
• Comes with a 40-year NDL warranty.
Coatings and restoration systems offer warranties between 10 and 20 years, and they HAVE EXCLUSIONS for your type of roof.
• Is seamless. It’s one encapsulated piece from the top of the wall to the bottom of the drain.
Coatings and restoration systems are reinforced with a thin weak piece of polyester; some are not even reinforced.
Unreinforced means not strong, and roof movement will continue (this means the roof will still leak). • Comes with turnkey support. With WeatherWeld, you get a dedicated technical team that is available 24/7 to ensure your WeatherWeld roof will last for generations. You get everything from reports, diagnostics, on-site inspections, etc.

12 OVERVIEW
Installation of the WeatherWeld system is a simple 4 step process:
1. Prepare surfaces, seams, walls, flashings, drains, and penetrations.
2. Spray apply WeatherWeld reinforced membrane.
3. Spray apply reflective acrylic coating system.
4. Install flashings and roof accessories.
Contact WeatherWeld representative for final inspection.
PREPARATION
• Prior to installation, ensure that adhesion testing was conducted in accordance with WeatherWeld adhesion testing procedures to verify a minimum adhesion strength of four (4) pounds per linear inch (pli) to the applicable substrates. When calculating material requirements for a particular project, consideration must be given to applicator variance and surface texture.
• Confirm local water run-off ordinances and restrictions prior to cleaning roof. • Pressure wash all surfaces receiving WeatherWeld to remove all dust, dirt, debris and other foreign contaminants.
• If the roof surface becomes contaminated with dirt, dust, or other particles at any time during the application of the WeatherWeld system, cleaning measures must be taken to restore the surface to a suitable condition. • Ensure roof is dry prior to application.
WEATHERWELD SEAMLESS ROOFING APPLICATION
• Apply one layer of the composite roofing at the following ratio:
1. Asphalt Emulsion: 30 gal. per 100 square feet (12.2 L/m2).
2. Fiberglass Roving: 16 lb. per 100 square feet (0. 78 Kg/m2). • DO NOT DILUTE. No water or filler material may be added to the emulsion to thin or extend pot life.
• Fiberglass must be disbursed from the applicator in varying intertwined lengths, up to 24 inches (610mm).
• Thoroughly mix fiberglass and emulsion prior to application on roof surface. • Loose strands must be brushed by hand, removed or filled with emulsion to create a solid surface.
• Upon completion, no area may be less than 250 mil dry film thickness (DFT). • Install additional material at all roof flashings, 500 mils (DFT) of WeatherWeld composite installed, extending 24” in each direction prior to completion of the project.
• Areas where application exceeds 500 mils wet, such as base flashings and penetrations, brush by hand to prevent surface crazing.
REFLECTIVE COATING INSTALLATION
• Prior to coating application, wash the roof surface with water. • Do not continue until all surfaces have thoroughly dried, confirmed by a reading of zero on a calibrated moisture meter.
1. Acrylic Base Coating: Apply Base Coating at 1 1/2 gal. per 100 square feet (0.6 L/m2).
2. Acrylic Top Coating: Apply Reflective Top Coating at 1 1/2 gal. per 100 square feet (0.6 L/m2).
or
3. (Alternate) Aluminum Coating: Apply Reflective Coating at 2 gal. per 100 square feet (0.8 L/m2).
FLASHINGS
• All flashings must have 500 mills DFT of WeatherWeld Composite installed extending 24” in each direction.
• The following items are required to be in watertight condition for a WeatherWeld warranty to be issued for the project:
1. Drains and Scuppers.
2. Sheetmetal Copings and Counter-Flashings.
3. Perimeter and Edge Flashings.
4. Equipment Platforms and Sheetmetal Pans.
5. Expansion Joints.
6. Sheetmetal Ducts and Seals.
7. Electrical Enclosures and Conduits.
8. Transition Flashings.
9. Any other item that may affect the watertightness of the Roof.
ROOF ACCESSORIES (INSTALLED AFTER COATING SYSTEM)
• Walkway Pads or Non-Slip Walking Surface
• Polymer Pipe Supports, Storm Collars on Pipes, Drain Rings and Screens • Coping Caps and Flashings
• Access Hatches and Ladders
INSPECTION
• Inspect entire roof area and touch-up deficient areas with WeatherWeld or reflective coating as necessary to ensure complete and uniform coverage.
Special attention should be given to critical areas of roof, including roof penetrations, transitions, existing membrane seams, flashings, and drains.
LIMITATIONS
• These are general guidelines for application of the WeatherWeld Seamless Roof System. The material requirements may vary depending on the specific job requirements. If unusual conditions exist, contact your local WeatherWeld Representative.
• WeatherWeld Seamless Roof Systems must be applied to structurally sound substrates and properly prepared surfaces. All surfaces must be clean and dry before application of coatings. WeatherWeld Seamless Roof Systems must not be applied over wet insulation or roofing materials. Failure of the substrate does not constitute failure of the WeatherWeld coating or system. • WeatherWeld Seamless Roof Systems are designed for use on roofs with positive drainage.
1. Do not begin when rain or other conditions such as fog or heavy dew are possible within a 48-hour period.
2. Surfaces must be at least 6° F (3° C) above the dew point, and rising. Surfaces must be clean before application of product. Care must be taken to ensure that debris accumulation after original cleaning does not interfere with any stage of application. If either condition occurs, additional cleaning may be required.
3. Drying time is affected by numerous factors, including temperature, direct sunlight, relative humidity, air movement, thickness, etc. Higher temperature and/or humidity will result in faster cure times. Lower temperature and/or humidity may extend cure times.
4. Deviations from these application guidelines and specific material requirements may adversely affect the roofing system performance and are strictly prohibited.
5. Applicator must comply with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations if asbestos, lead-based paint or other hazardous materials are encountered.
WEATHER RESTRICTIONS
• Do not attempt application if ice, snow, moisture, or dew is present. Ambient temperature must be 50°F (10°C) and rising through the day. Restrict application when overnight temperature drops below 40°F (4.4°C). Cooler temperatures will negatively impact the properties of the system. Contact your WeatherWeld Representative for proper cold weather applications. • Do not attempt application if moisture or dew is present. Ambient temperature must be less than 110°F (43°C). Contact WeatherWeld Representative for proper hot weather application
STORAGE
• WeatherWeld should be stored in a shaded ventilated area under a tarp. Do not store in direct sunlight. Storage temperature must range from 60-80°F (15°C to 26°C). Indoor ventilated storage is recommended when ambient temperature is below 60°F (15°C) or above 80°F (26°C).

These roofs consists of corrugated sheetmetal panels. This type of roof construction relies on the corrugations, over- lap, and sealant at each seam to remain watertight. As
this type of roof ages, the sealant deteriorates and water is allowed to enter the seams and fastener holes. This type of sheet metal is also prone to rust and deterioration as the roof system ages.
A permanent solution for metal roofs is to encapsulate the entire metal roof with a product like WeatherWeld that is designed to seamlessly encapsulate the sheetmetal and
make the entire roof one piece.

Temporary repair materials installed on metal roofs or
modular classrooms typically last a year or two, then start to delaminate and degrade. This happens because the
movement coefficient on metal roofs is double typical flat roofs.
This means that metal roofing requires ongoing mainte-
nance.

City of Victorville Water - La Mesa Treatment Plant 4 / 4 City of Victorville Water - La Mesa Treatment Plant 5 WHAT DOES THIS ROOF NEED TO STAY WATERTIGHT?
CITY OF VICTORVILLE WATER DISTRICT – LA MESA TREATMENT PLANT If your existing roof is in serviceable condition and targeted maintenance will solve roof leaks for the long term, it’s recommended to repair the roof and not spend additional money on roof reinforcement or a new roof system.
If maintaining the roof once with targeted maintenance will not keep the building watertight, reinforcing the existing roof with WeatherWeld is the next step.
Certain conditions dictate that the existing roof may not be able to be reinforced. In this case, roof removal would be required.
TARGETED MAINTENANCE
REINFORCE EXISTING ROOF
REMOVE ROOF – INSTALL NEW ROOF SYSTEM
It is recommended to perform regular maintenance on this roof using a targeted maintenance plan to repair/seal areas of the roof that could be leaking. WeatherWeld can be installed by hand for small repairs to the existing roof. The owner/facilities manager can perform repairs on their own, or have an approved contractor install WeatherWeld out of buckets. WeatherWeld’s Technical Representative will help create a scope of work and assist in creating a plan to get the roof watertight under the targeted maintenance plan.
WeatherWeld is the perfect solution to eliminate the roof leaks on this building. The existing roof can stay in place, and a WeatherWeld roof reinforcement coating system will be installed directly over the existing roof making the entire roof seamless from the top of the parapet wall to the bottom of the drain. This will eliminate all roof leaks. By installing a WeatherWeld roof on this building, the facilities team will have a leak free roof that will require no maintenance for the life of the warranty. You get the benefit of WeatherWeld encapsulating the ductwork and equipment issues all at once. The finished roof will have a white “cool roof” title 24 compliant surface.
The following cases indicate that a roof needs to be removed:
1. The building has more than one roof system installed—building code only allows a maximum of two roof systems to be installed on a building.
2. If there is trapped moisture in the roof system
3. Building modernization requires exposing the roof deck
4. Roof drainage needs improvement
5. Roof deck replacement is required on a large scale.
REINFORCE EXISTING ROOF (SILICONE ROOFS)
Silicone coatings are not compatible with typical roofing materials. The only thing that sticks to silicone, is silicone. The best solution for silicone coated roofs is to tear the roof and start over.
When removal is not possible, a new roof system can be installed over the existing roof. For coated standing seam metal, flute fill insulation can be mechanically installed, and a new seamless roof system installed creating a flat roof.
Remove top roof layer, leave the original roof in place. In some cases, the original roof system would be a candidate for WeatherWeld roof reinforcement and would count as a roof coating system. For this instance, remove only the top layer, leaving the original roof system. Once the top roof is removed, prepare the original roof, and install WeatherWeld seamless roof reinforcement.
REMOVE TOP ROOF LAYER – INSTALL NEW ROOF SYSTEM
REMOVE EXISTING ROOF – REUSE EXISTING INSULATION
Remove the existing roof and reuse existing insulation. If roofing systems requires removal but existing roof insulation can be reused, attach a ½” gypsum substrate board and install a WeatherWeld new roof reinforcement system.

6 WHY ROOFS FAIL
WHY DOES THE EXISTING ROOF FAIL?
Roofing systems fail for various reasons in a western climate like California. The following are examples of common failures.
Physical Effects
• UV Exposure: The primary reason for roofing failure is UV exposure. The Sun deteriorates roofing membranes faster than other climate regions.
• Thermal expansion and contraction: with an average temperature swing of 30 degrees, buildings cycle a minimum of 2 times a day.
Over time, this creates concentrated stress on roofing materials. • Age: All roofs deteriorate with age. When you combine the factors above, roofs dry out and become brittle, seams degrade, and roof systems lose the ability to keep the building waterproof.
Existing Roof Types and Common Issues
Built-up roof: layers of felt saturated in asphalt is one of the oldest types of roofing. As built-up roofs age, UV exposure dries out asphalt, making it brittle. This causes the roof to lose strength and elongation after approximately 10 years.
The following observations can help determine the condition of built-up roofs through visual inspection:
• Micro granules piled up near roof drains
• Exposed fiberglass felt in the field of the roof
• Ridging, buckling, or blistering in the roof system.
• Material shrinkage at intersections and base flashings
Modified built-up roofs have the same observations above and close inspection could show UV damage creating micro fractures in the roof membrane.
Gravel surfaced built-up roofs have the same observations above except damage is hidden due to the roof being covered with loose gravel—inspect carefully.
Single ply roofs: thin layers of plastic rolled out, creating a plastic membrane, must be seamed/welded by hand in the field. Rolls are designed to be installed on flat surfaces with no penetrations. Material ranges between 30 and 70 mills (extremely thin), depending on plastic membrane type. The life cycle of plastic roof membranes varies drastically on the type of plastic and the location where material is installed.
A perfectly installed single ply in perfect climate might last 20 years. However, results are not typical, and life cycle varies. Single ply roofs fail for various reasons. The following observations can help determine the condition of single ply roofs through visual inspection:
• Chalking or cracking on the surface of the membrane
• Loose or delaminated seams
• Exposed scrim/fabric reinforcement
• Burn through at roof fasteners (discoloration at fasteners and plates) • Fluttering of membrane in windy conditions
• Discoloration and other types of surface changes in plastic membrane • Material shrinkage at intersections and base flashings
Foam and coating roofs: Spray applied foam relies on the surface coating to protect the foam underneath. As soon as the thin surface coating wears away, foam absorbs water and basically turns it into a sponge. Foam roofs require recoating the foam on a maintenance plan (5-10 years). Foam should be considered a roof maintenance system because these types of roofs are only as watertight as the thin coating on top. The following observations can help determine the condition of foam roofs through visual inspection:
• Deterioration of surface coating exposing foam insulation underneath • Blisters in foam layers
• Wet sponge-like areas where water is saturated into foam insulation • Holes in roof where animals peck holes in roof surface • Uneven application inhibiting water drainage
Metal roofs: roofs with standing seam or corrugated metal rely on overlapped/crimped sheet metal panels to remain watertight. In most cases, sheet metal panels are not the cause of roof leaks. Building movement, UV deterioration of waterproofing seals, and unsealed fasteners create roof leaks. In rare occurrences, oxidation or deterioration of surface coatings corrodes the sheet metal creating rust and holes in the panel itself. The following observations can help determine the condition of metal roofs through visual inspection:
• Exposed sheet metal seams
• Failed repair material seals at seams, penetrations, and joints • Backed out fasteners with deteriorated rubber gaskets • Oxidation/rust in panels
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN TO REPLACE MY ROOF?
If the roof can be repaired to get the roof watertight, repair the roof. If repair won’t solve all the roof problems or repair would be too extensive, roof reinforcement of the entire roof is recommended.
In some cases, legally or structurally, where the roof cannot be reinforced, removal may be required to start with a new roof system.
7 OPTIONS
WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OF MY ROOF?
Remove and replace the entire roof system
Most roofs with only one layer installed do not require removal. A roof needs to be removed only if there is underlying deck damage, moisture, or design defect in the existing roof system. Buildings that have two roof systems/layers installed, must be removed because building code doesn’t allow more than two layers of roofing on a building. Roof removal also requires a minimum R-Value requirement to meet CA Title 24. This cost could be significant considering the cost of removal and flashing height increases, plus the cost of disruption to the building and its occupants. This is the worst-case scenario and only recommended when required.
Reinforce the existing roof
Your existing roof leaks because the roofing system has lost its ability to keep the roof watertight. This could be due to uv exposure, moisture in the roofing system, failing seams, or improper installation from the start. Overall, most roofs over 10 years old have lost the strength required to remain watertight.
Seamless Roof Reinforcement is stronger than the existing roof was when it was new. WeatherWeld takes place of the existing roof, creating a seamless reinforced membrane designed to encapsulate most existing roofs from the top of a wall continuously into the drain, making roof leaks impossible.
OTHER ROOFING OPTIONS - WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?
“ROOF RESTORATION”
There is no such thing. Age affects roofs the same way it affects people and everything else. You can’t make something old into something new. Plasticizers will not regenerate within the materials, and the tensile strength lost through cycle fatigue will not return. The laws of physics always trump the promises of marketing. Cool roof coatings and “restoration” products are marketing hoaxes—they can’t penetrate the existing substrate matrix at any meaningful depth and are not thick enough to be resilient long term.
COATINGS
Elastomeric and silicone are another false hope. Coating a roof does nothing but cover the roof in its existing condition with a layer of paint. The “guarantees” that are issued on these systems usually cover only material, not leaks. We have seen many 50-year silicone guarantees, but have never seen a silicone roof last a warranty length still in service.
SINGLE PLY
Single ply is a product that must be patched and repaired from the start. Typical installations with TPO and PVC last less than 15 years in the Western United States. Plastic sheets must be unrolled and welded with a hot air welder at every seam. This creates the possibility for human error.
Every seam must be physically inspected because you are left with a thin sheet of plastic with miles of welds and patches on a typical roof. The sun degrades synthetic materials at unpredictable rates, and this means the lifecycle of synthetic materials are hard to judge. This is the reason why most single plies are reformulated repeatedly.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN CHOOSING A ROOF
A long-term solution to keep the roof watertight should have the following characteristics:
SEAMLESS: The existing roof leaks because it has seams. Water finds a seam and leaks into your building.
Theoretically, if a roof is seamless, there would be no place for it to leak.
STRONG: A roof must be strong enough to withstand thermal movement.
DURABLE: The seamless membrane must be resistant to rooftop traffic, debris on the roof, and rooftop equipment.
TIME TESTED: The product must have a real track record of successful performance in real life applications, not just accelerated weathering tests in a lab. Note that most single ply and coatings have not been around for a warranty period.
GUARANTEED: An NDL warranty that covers labor, material, and repairs, for the life of the warranty. Most warranties cover material but not labor; the fine print with warranty exclusions lets manufacturers escape liability.
AFFORDABLE: Add up the cost of the roof, including maintenance and replacement over 40 years. Why 40 years? Because most buildings will be here 40 years from now. When you choose roof systems that are designed to last with minimal maintenance, the lifecycle cost is lower.
8 WeatherWeld is a roof designed to withstand the elements and provide a leak free roof for generations. More than 30 years ago, WeatherWeld created a seamless roof system designed to reinforce existing roofs by combining the strongest long-lasting materials in the world. By combining ceramic emulsion and intertwined fiberglass together, the seamless membrane encapsulates the entire roof from the top of the wall to the bottom of the drain.

12 OVERVIEW
Installation of the WeatherWeld system is a simple 4 step process:
1. Prepare surfaces, seams, walls, flashings, drains, and penetrations.
2. Spray apply WeatherWeld reinforced membrane.
3. Spray apply reflective acrylic coating system.
4. Install flashings and roof accessories.
Contact WeatherWeld representative for final inspection.
PREPARATION
• Prior to installation, ensure that adhesion testing was conducted in accordance with WeatherWeld adhesion testing procedures to verify a minimum adhesion strength of four (4) pounds per linear inch (pli) to the applicable substrates. When calculating material requirements for a particular project, consideration must be given to applicator variance and surface texture.
• Confirm local water run-off ordinances and restrictions prior to cleaning roof. • Pressure wash all surfaces receiving WeatherWeld to remove all dust, dirt, debris and other foreign contaminants.
• If the roof surface becomes contaminated with dirt, dust, or other particles at any time during the application of the WeatherWeld system, cleaning measures must be taken to restore the surface to a suitable condition. • Ensure roof is dry prior to application.
WEATHERWELD SEAMLESS ROOFING APPLICATION
• Apply one layer of the composite roofing at the following ratio:
1. Asphalt Emulsion: 30 gal. per 100 square feet (12.2 L/m2).
2. Fiberglass Roving: 16 lb. per 100 square feet (0 .78 Kg/m2). • DO NOT DILUTE. No water or filler material may be added to the emulsion to thin or extend pot life.
• Fiberglass must be disbursed from the applicator in varying intertwined lengths, up to 24 inches (610mm).
• Thoroughly mix fiberglass and emulsion prior to application on roof surface. • Loose strands must be brushed by hand, removed or filled with emulsion to create a solid surface.
• Upon completion, no area may be less than 250 mil dry film thickness (DFT). • Install additional material at all roof flashings, 500 mils (DFT) of WeatherWeld composite installed, extending 24” in each direction prior to completion of the project.
• Areas where application exceeds 500 mils wet, such as base flashings and penetrations, brush by hand to prevent surface crazing.
REFLECTIVE COATING INSTALLATION
• Prior to coating application, wash the roof surface with water. • Do not continue until all surfaces have thoroughly dried, confirmed by a reading of zero on a calibrated moisture meter.
1. Acrylic Base Coating: Apply Base Coating at 1 1/2 gal. per 100 square feet (0.6 L/m2).
2. Acrylic Top Coating: Apply Reflective Top Coating at 1 1/2 gal. per 100 square feet (0.6 L/m2).
or
3. (Alternate) Aluminum Coating: Apply Reflective Coating at 2 gal. per 100 square feet (0.8 L/m2).
FLASHINGS
• All flashings must have 500 mills DFT of WeatherWeld Composite installed extending 24” in each direction.
• The following items are required to be in watertight condition for a WeatherWeld warranty to be issued for the project:
1. Drains and Scuppers.
2. Sheetmetal Copings and Counter-Flashings.
3. Perimeter and Edge Flashings.
4. Equipment Platforms and Sheetmetal Pans.
5. Expansion Joints.
6. Sheetmetal Ducts and Seals.
7. Electrical Enclosures and Conduits.
8. Transition Flashings.
9. Any other item that may affect the watertightness of the Roof.
ROOF ACCESSORIES (INSTALLED AFTER COATING SYSTEM)
• Walkway Pads or Non-Slip Walking Surface
• Polymer Pipe Supports, Storm Collars on Pipes, Drain Rings and Screens • Coping Caps and Flashings
• Access Hatches and Ladders
INSPECTION
• Inspect entire roof area and touch-up deficient areas with WeatherWeld or reflective coating as necessary to ensure complete and uniform coverage.
Special attention should be given to critical areas of roof, including roof penetrations, transitions, existing membrane seams, flashings, and drains.
LIMITATIONS
• These are general guidelines for application of the WeatherWeld Seamless Roof System. The material requirements may vary depending on the specific job requirements. If unusual conditions exist, contact your local WeatherWeld Representative.
• WeatherWeld Seamless Roof Systems must be applied to structurally sound substrates and properly prepared surfaces. All surfaces must be clean and dry before application of coatings. WeatherWeld Seamless Roof Systems must not be applied over wet insulation or roofing materials. Failure of the substrate does not constitute failure of the WeatherWeld coating or system. • WeatherWeld Seamless Roof Systems are designed for use on roofs with positive drainage.
1. Do not begin when rain or other conditions such as fog or heavy dew are possible within a 48-hour period.
2. Surfaces must be at least 6° F (3° C) above the dew point, and rising. Surfaces must be clean before application of product. Care must be taken to ensure that debris accumulation after original cleaning does not interfere with any stage of application. If either condition occurs, additional cleaning may be required.
3. Drying time is affected by numerous factors, including temperature, direct sunlight, relative humidity, air movement, thickness, etc. Higher temperature and/or humidity will result in faster cure times. Lower temperature and/or humidity may extend cure times.
4. Deviations from these application guidelines and specific material requirements may adversely affect the roofing system performance and are strictly prohibited.
5. Applicator must comply with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations if asbestos, lead-based paint or other hazardous materials are encountered.
WEATHER RESTRICTIONS
• Do not attempt application if ice, snow, moisture, or dew is present. Ambient temperature must be 50°F (10°C) and rising through the day. Restrict application when overnight temperature drops below 40°F (4.4°C). Cooler temperatures will negatively impact the properties of the system. Contact your WeatherWeld Representative for proper cold weather applications. • Do not attempt application if moisture or dew is present. Ambient temperature must be less than 110°F (43°C). Contact WeatherWeld Representative for proper hot weather application
STORAGE
• WeatherWeld should be stored in a shaded ventilated area under a tarp. Do not store in direct sunlight. Storage temperature must range from 60-80°F (15°C to 26°C). Indoor ventilated storage is recommended when ambient temperature is below 60°F (15°C) or above 80°F (26°C).

These roofs consists of corrugated sheetmetal panels. This type of roof construction relies on the corrugations, over- lap, and sealant at each seam to remain watertight. As
this type of roof ages, the sealant deteriorates and water is allowed to enter the seams and fastener holes and leak into the building. This type of sheetmetal is also prone to rust and deterioration as the roof system ages.
A permanent solution for metal roofs is to encapsulate the entire metal roof with a product like WeatherWeld that is designed to seamlessly encapsulate the sheetmetal and
make the entire roof one piece.

City of Victorville Water - 6th Street Warehouse 4 / 4 City of Victorville Water - 6th Street Warehouse 5 WHAT DOES THIS ROOF NEED TO STAY WATERTIGHT?
CITY OF VICTORVILLE WATER DISTRICT – 6TH STREET WAREHOUSE If your existing roof is in serviceable condition and targeted maintenance will solve ro of leaks for the long term, it’s recommended to repair the roof and not spend additional money on roof reinforcement or a new roof system.
If maintaining the roof once with targeted maintenance will not keep the building watertight, reinforcing the existing roof with WeatherWeld is the next step.
Certain conditions dictate that the existing roof may not be able to be reinforced. In this case, roof removal would be required.
TARGETED MAINTENANCE
REINFORCE EXISTING ROOF
REMOVE ROOF – INSTALL NEW ROOF SYSTEM
It is recommended to perform regular maintenance on this roof using a targeted maintenance plan to repair/seal areas of the roof that could be leaking. WeatherWeld can be installed by hand for small repairs to the existing roof. The owner/facilities manager can perform repairs on their own, or have an approved contractor install WeatherWeld out of buckets. WeatherWeld’s Technical Representative will help create a scope of work and assist in creating a plan to get the roof watertight under the targeted maintenance plan.
WeatherWeld is the perfect solution to eliminate the roof leaks on this building. The existing roof can stay in place, and a WeatherWeld roof reinforcement coating system will be installed directly over the existing roof making the entire roof seamless from the top of the parapet wall to the bottom of the drain. This will eliminate all roof leaks. By installing a WeatherWeld roof on this building, the facilities team will have a leak free roof that will require no maintenance for the life of the warranty. You get the benefit of WeatherWeld encapsulating the ductwork and equipment issues all at once. The finished roof will have a white “cool roof” title 24 compliant surface.
The following cases indicate that a roof needs to be removed:
1. The building has more than one roof system installed—building code only allows a maximum of two roof systems to be installed on a building.
2. If there is trapped moisture in the roof system
3. Building modernization requires exposing the roof deck
4. Roof drainage needs improvement
5. Roof deck replacement is required on a large scale.
REINFORCE EXISTING ROOF (SILICONE ROOFS)
Silicone coatings are not compatible with typical roofing materials. The only thing that sticks to silicone, is silicone. The best solution for silicone coated roofs is to tear the roof and start over.
When removal is not possible, a new roof system can be installed over the existing roof. For coated standing seam metal, flute fill insulation can be mechanically installed, and a new seamless roof system installed creating a flat roof.
Remove top roof layer, leave the original roof in place. In some cases, the original roof system would be a candidate for WeatherWeld roof reinforcement and would count as a roof coating system. For this instance, remove only the top layer, leaving the original roof system. Once the top roof is removed, prepare the original roof, and install WeatherWeld seamless roof reinforcement.
REMOVE TOP ROOF LAYER – INSTALL NEW ROOF SYSTEM
REMOVE EXISTING ROOF – REUSE EXISTING INSULATION
Remove the existing roof and reuse existing insulation. If roofing systems requires removal but existing roof insulation can be reused, attach a ½” gypsum substrate board and install a WeatherWeld new roof reinforcement system.

6 WHY ROOFS FAIL
WHY DOES THE EXISTING ROOF FAIL?
Roofing systems fail for various reasons in a western climate like California. The following are examples of common failures.
Physical Effects
• UV Exposure: The primary reason for roofing failure is UV exposure. The Sun deteriorates roofing membranes faster than other climate regions.
• Thermal expansion and contraction: with an average temperature swing of 30 degrees, buildings cycle a minimum of 2 times a day.
Over time, this creates concentrated stress on roofing materials. • Age: All roofs deteriorate with age. When you combine the factors above, roofs dry out and become brittle, seams degrade, and roof systems lose the ability to keep the building waterproof.
Existing Roof Types and Common Issues
Built-up roof: layers of felt saturated in asphalt is one of the oldest types of roofing. As built-up roofs age, UV exposure dries out asphalt, making it brittle. This causes the roof to lose strength and elongation after approximately 10 years.
The following observations can help determine the condition of built-up roofs through visual inspection:
• Micro granules piled up near roof drains
• Exposed fiberglass felt in the field of the roof
• Ridging, buckling, or blistering in the roof system.
• Material shrinkage at intersections and base flashings Modified built-up roofs have the same observations above and close inspection could show UV damage creating micro fractures in the roof membrane.
Gravel surfaced built-up roofs have the same observations above except damage is hidden due to the roof being covered with loose gravel—inspect carefully.
Single ply roofs: thin layers of plastic rolled out, creating a plastic membrane, must be seamed/welded by hand in the field. Rolls are designed to be installed on flat surfaces with no penetrations. Material ranges between 30 and 70 mills (extremely thin), depending on plastic membrane type. The life cycle of plastic roof membranes varies drastically on the type of plastic and the location where material is installed.
A perfectly installed single ply in perfect climate might last 20 years. However, results are not typical, and life cycle varies. Single ply roofs fail for various reasons. The following observations can help determine the condition of single ply roofs through visual inspection:
• Chalking or cracking on the surface of the membrane
• Loose or delaminated seams
• Exposed scrim/fabric reinforcement
• Burn through at roof fasteners (discoloration at fasteners and plates) • Fluttering of membrane in windy conditions
• Discoloration and other types of surface changes in plastic membrane • Material shrinkage at intersections and base flashings Foam and coating roofs: Spray applied foam relies on the surface coating to protect the foam underneath. As soon as the thin surface coating wears away, foam absorbs water and basically turns it into a sponge. Foam roofs require recoating the foam on a maintenance plan (5-10 years). Foam should be considered a roof maintenance system because these types of roofs are only as watertight as the thin coating on top. The following observations can help determine the condition of foam roofs through visual inspection:
• Deterioration of surface coating exposing foam insulation underneath • Blisters in foam layers
• Wet sponge-like areas where water is saturated into foam insulation • Holes in roof where animals peck holes in roof surface • Uneven application inhibiting water drainage
Metal roofs: roofs with standing seam or corrugated metal rely on overlapped/crimped sheet metal panels to remain watertight. In most cases, sheet metal panels are not the cause of roof leaks. Building movement, UV deterioration of waterproofing seals, and unsealed fasteners create roof leaks. In rare occurrences, oxidation or deterioration of surface coatings corrodes the sheet metal creating rust and holes in the panel itself. The following observations can help determine the condition of metal roofs through visual inspection:
• Exposed sheet metal seams
• Failed repair material seals at seams, penetrations, and joints • Backed out fasteners with deteriorated rubber gaskets • Oxidation/rust in panels
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN TO REPLACE MY ROOF?
If the roof can be repaired to get the roof watertight, repair the roof. If repair won’t solve all the roof problems or repair would be too extensive, roof reinforcement of the entire roof is recommended.
In some cases, legally or structurally, where the roof cannot be reinforced, removal may be required to start with a new roof system. 7 OPTIONS
WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS FOR REPLACEMENT OF MY ROOF?
Remove and replace the entire roof system
Most roofs with only one layer installed do not require removal. A roof needs to be removed only if there is underlying deck damage, moisture, or design defect in the existing roof system. Buildings that have two roof systems/layers installed, must be removed because building code doesn’t allow more than two layers of roofing on a building. Roof removal also requires a minimum R-Value requirement to meet CA Title 24. This cost could be significant considering the cost of removal and flashing height increases, plus the cost of disruption to the building and its occupants. This is the worst-case scenario and only recommended when required.
Reinforce the existing roof
Your existing roof leaks because the roofing system has lost its ability to keep the roof watertight. This could be due to uv exposure, moisture in the roofing system, failing seams, or improper installation from the start. Overall, most roofs over 10 years old have lost the strength required to remain watertight.
Seamless Roof Reinforcement is stronger than the existing roof was when it was new. WeatherWeld takes place of the existing roof, creating a seamless reinforced membrane designed to encapsulate most existing roofs from the top of a wall continuously into the drain, making roof leaks impossible.
OTHER ROOFING OPTIONS - WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?
“ROOF RESTORATION”
There is no such thing. Age affects roofs the same way it affects people and everything else. You can’t make something old into something new. Plasticizers will not regenerate within the materials, and the tensile strength lost through cycle fatigue will not return. The laws of physics always trump the promises of marketing. Cool roof coatings and “restoration” products are marketing hoaxes—they can’t penetrate the existing substrate matrix at any meaningful depth and are not thick enough to be resilient long term.
COATINGS
Elastomeric and silicone are another false hope. Coating a roof does nothing but cover the roof in its existing condition with a layer of paint. The “guarantees” that are issued on these systems usually cover only material, not leaks. We have seen many 50-year silicone guarantees, but have never seen a silicone roof last a warranty length still in service.
SINGLE PLY
Single ply is a product that must be patched and repaired from the start. Typical installations with TPO and PVC last less than 15 years in the Western United States. Plastic sheets must be unrolled and welded with a hot air welder at every seam. This creates the possibility for human error.
Every seam must be physically inspected because you are left with a thin sheet of plastic with miles of welds and patches on a typical roof. The sun degrades synthetic materials at unpredictable rates, and this means the lifecycle of synthetic materials are hard to judge. This is the reason why most single plies are reformulated repeatedly.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN CHOOSING A ROOF
A long-term solution to keep the roof watertight should have the following characteristics:
SEAMLESS: The existing roof leaks because it has seams. Water finds a seam and leaks into your building.
Theoretically, if a roof is seamless, there would be no place for it to leak.
STRONG: A roof must be strong enough to withstand thermal movement.
DURABLE: The seamless membrane must be resistant to rooftop traffic, debris on the roof, and rooftop equipment.
TIME TESTED: The product must have a real track record of successful performance in real life applications, not just accelerated weathering tests in a lab. Note that most single ply and coatings have not been around for a warranty period.
GUARANTEED: An NDL warranty that covers labor, material, and repairs, for the life of the warranty. Most warranties cover material but not labor; the fine print with warranty exclusions lets manufacturers escape liability.
AFFORDABLE: Add up the cost of the roof, including maintenance and replacement over 40 years. Why 40 years? Because most buildings will be here 40 years from now. When you choose roof systems that are designed to last with minimal maintenance, the lifecycle cost is lower. 8 WeatherWeld is a roof designed to withstand the elements and provide a leak free roof for generations. More than 30 years ago, WeatherWeld created a seamless roof system designed to reinforce existing roofs by combining the strongest long-lasting materials in the world. By combining ceramic emulsion and intertwined fiberglass together, the seamless membrane encapsulates the entire roof from the top of the wall to the bottom of the drain.
CHARACTERISTICS OF WEATHERWELD
SEAMLESS: WeatherWeld makes your roof one seamless encapsulated membrane.
STRONG: WeatherWeld is reinforced with unbelievable amounts of long strand fiberglass, which creates a membrane that you can literally drive a truck on.
DURABLE: WeatherWeld is resistant to rooftop traffic and damage.
ROBUST: WeatherWeld is thick and durable; when you see it, you’ll be able to tell why it lasts so long.
TIME TESTED: WeatherWeld is one of the only roofs in the world that has lasted a warranty length and is still in excellent condition; 30+ years and still doing its job of keeping buildings watertight.
GUARANTEED: The real warranty in a roof is in the product. Don’t buy based on marketing materials. Rather, buy a product that you can see will last. WeatherWeld comes with an industry leading 40-year NDL warranty that’s simple: “IF IT LEAKS, WE FIX IT.”
AFFORDABLE: The cheapest most cost-effective way for you to have a leak-free roof for generations, is to buy the right roof the first time; a roof that won't require maintenance or replacement.
SAFE: Using environmentally friendly materials that are water based, there is very little smell and disruption during installation. Most school and healthcare clients install WeatherWeld when buildings are occupied, with no complaints.

eatherWeld adhesion testing procedures to verify
a minimum adhesion strength of four (4) pounds per linear inch (pli) to the applicable substrates. When calculating material requirements for a particular project, consideration must be given to applicator variance and surface texture.
• Confirm local water run-off ordinances and restrictions prior to cleaning roof. • Pressure wash all surfaces receiving WeatherWeld to remove all dust, dirt, debris and other foreign contaminants.
• If the roof surface becomes contaminated with dirt, dust, or other particles at any time during the application of the W
eatherWeld system, cleaning
measures must be taken to restore the surface to a suitable condition. • Ensure roof is dry prior to application.
WEATHERWELD SEAMLESS ROOFING APPLICATION
• Apply one layer of the composite roofing at the following ratio:
1. Asphalt Emulsion: 30 gal. per 100 square feet (12.2 L/m2).
2. Fiberglass Roving: 16 lb. per 100 square feet (0. 78 Kg/m2). • DO NOT DILUTE. No water or filler material may be added to the emulsion to thin or extend pot life.
• Fiberglass must be disbursed from the applicator in varying intertwined lengths, up to 24 inches (610mm).
• Thoroughly mix fiberglass and emulsion prior to application on roof surface. • Loose strands must be brushed by hand, removed or filled with emulsion to create a solid surface.
• Upon completion, no area may be less than 250 mil dry film thickness (DFT). • Install additional material at all roof flashings, 500 mils (DFT) of WeatherWeld composite installed, extending 24” in each direction prior to completion of the project.
• Areas where application exceeds 500 mils wet, such as base flashings and penetrations, brush by hand to prevent surface crazing.
REFLECTIVE COATING INSTALLATION
• Prior to coating application, wash the roof surface with water. • Do not continue until all surfaces have thoroughly dried, confirmed by a reading of zero on a calibrated moisture meter
.
1. Acrylic Base Coating: Apply Base Coating at 1 1/2 gal. per 100 square feet (0
.6 L/m2).
2. Acrylic Top Coating: Apply Reflective Top Coating at 1 1/2 gal. per 100 square feet (0.6 L/m2).
or
3. (Alternate) Aluminum Coating: Apply Reflective Coating at 2 gal. per 100 square feet (0.8 L/m2).
FLASHINGS
• All flashings must have 500 mills DFT of WeatherWeld Composite installed extending 24” in each direction.
• The following items are required to be in watertight condition for a W
eatherWeld warranty to be issued for the project:
1. Drains and Scuppers.
2. Sheetmetal Copings and Counter-Flashings.
3. Perimeter and Edge Flashings.
4. Equipment Platforms and Sheetmetal Pans.
5. Expansion Joints.
6. Sheetmetal Ducts and Seals.
7. Electrical Enclosures and Conduits.
8. Transition Flashings.
9. Any other item that may affect the watertightness of the Roof.
ROOF ACCESSORIES (INSTALLED AFTER COATING SYSTEM)
• Walkway Pads or Non-Slip Walking Surface
• Polymer Pipe Supports, Storm Collars on Pipes, Drain Rings and Screens • Coping Caps and Flashings
• Access Hatches and Ladders
INSPECTION
• Inspect entire roof area and touch-up deficient areas with WeatherWeld or reflective coating as necessary to ensure complete and uniform coverage.
Special attention should be given to critical areas of roof, including roof penetrations, transitions, existing membrane seams, flashings, and drains.
LIMITATIONS
• These are general guidelines for application of the WeatherWeld Seamless Roof System. The material requirements may vary depending on the specific job requirements. If unusual conditions exist, contact your local WeatherWeld Representative.
• WeatherWeld Seamless Roof Systems must be applied to structurally sound substrates and properly prepared surfaces. All surfaces must be clean and dry before application of coatings. WeatherWeld Seamless Roof Systems must not be applied over wet insulation or roofing materials. Failure of the substrate does not constitute failure of the WeatherWeld coating or system. • WeatherWeld Seamless Roof Systems are designed for use on roofs with positive drainage.
1. Do not begin when rain or other conditions such as fog or heavy dew are possible within a 48-hour period.
2. Surfaces must be at least 6° F (3° C) above the dew point, and rising. Surfaces must be clean before application of product. Care must be tak
en to ensure that debris accumulation after original
cleaning does not interfere with any stage of application. If either condition occurs, additional cleaning may be required.
3. Drying time is affected by numerous factors, including temperature
, direct sunlight, relative humidity, air movement,
thickness, etc. Higher temperature and/or humidity will result in faster cure times. Lower temperature and/or humidity may extend cure times.
4. Deviations from these application guidelines and specific material requirements may adversely affect the roofing system performance and are strictly prohibited.
5. Applicator must comply with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations if asbestos, lead-based paint or other hazardous materials are encountered.
WEATHER RESTRICTIONS
• Do not attempt application if ice, snow, moisture, or dew is present. Ambient temperature must be 50°F (10°C) and rising through the day. Restrict application when overnight temperature drops below 40°F (4.4°C). Cooler temperatures will negatively impact the properties of the system. Contact your WeatherWeld Representative for proper cold weather applications. • Do not attempt application if moisture or dew is present. Ambient temperature must be less than 110°F (43°C). Contact W
eatherWeld
Representative for proper hot weather application
STORAGE
• WeatherWeld should be stored in a shaded ventilated area under a tarp. Do not store in direct sunlight. Storage temperature must range from 60-80°F (15°C to 26°C). Indoor ventilated storage is recommended when ambient temperature is below 60°F (15°C) or above 80°F (26°C).
