R & D at Garland

Research & Development

Technological innovation is the hallmark of Garland® service and product solutions. At The Garland Company, “good” is never “good enough.” By continually evolving unique product and service offerings that raise our industry’s bar of performance, we are able to offer all of our customers the solutions best suited to their particular needs.

We were the first U.S. roofing manufacture to introduce modified bitumen systems to the commercial roofing market; the first to introduce unique polymer blends extending membrane life; the first to offer low-slope insulated steel roofing panels; and the first in our market to promote roofing materials using recycled crumb rubber. We’ve played a leading role in offering high-performance VOC compliant maintenance alternatives and uplift-resistant standing seam metal roofing designs. Today, that tradition of innovation continues with our industry’s most comprehensive selection of high-performance roofing and flooring systems, restoration products, and maintenance materials.

Our team of experts in the Garland laboratory scrutinizes all raw materials for quality and monitors every aspect of performance before a new product is launched. With our laboratory and primary manufacturing facility located alongside our home office, Garland marketing/sales activities cross-fertilize the product development and delivery processes, reducing time to market for customer-responsive innovations and increasing customer satisfaction at every step along the way.
