Modified Bitumen/BUR

Garland continues to invest heavily in research and development to enhance the features of its modified membranes. By developing unique combinations of polymers, such as SBS, SIS, and SEBS, we have been continuously extending the service life of our modified bitumen systems. Today, Garland offers the strongest, toughest membranes available. The combination of superior polymers and high-strength reinforcement ensures customers of optimum life-cycle return on their capital roofing investment.

Garland Asphalt-Based Modified Bitumen Systems:

  • StressPly fiberglass-reinforced SBS-modified system with 22% polymer
  • StressPly Plus eco-responsible, UV-resistant, SBS-modified system using recycled crumb rubber
  • StressPly "E" extended-life SBS/SIS-modified bitumen system with polyester and fiberglass reinforcement for long-term weathering resistance
  • StressPly EUV eco-responsible UV-resistant SBS/SIS-modified bitumen system using post-consumer and post-industrial recycled content, and featuring a highly reflective mineral surfacing option for energy-saving performance
  • VersiPly® economical fiberglass-reinforced SBS-modified bitumen systems

Millennium® Coal-Tar-Based Technologies:

Our Millennium roofing membranes are advanced, polymer-modified coal tar membranes. They are primarily used in multi-ply modified bitumen roofing systems with less than ¼” slope. Millennium membranes are a combination of polyester and fiberglass reinforcements that have been encapsulated in a polymer-modified coal tar compound for enhanced performance.

The Millennium multi-ply polymer-modified coal tar system has been field proven to resist moisture, natural aging, chemicals, fats, salts, and ultraviolet (UV) degradation, while providing exceptional elongation characteristics and flexibility at cold temperatures. It can be hot-applied or cold-applied, or installed using coal tar or modified adhesives such as Garland Black‑Knight®/Black‑Stallion® or Green-Lock® Modified Adhesive. Optional mineral surfacing is available for applications that require the waterproofing protection of coal tar, but that cannot withstand the added weight of a gravel surface.

Underlayments/Reinforcements

Underlayments are membranes designed to provide additional protection and/or waterproofing under a variety of roofing systems.

Modified bituminous membranes are comprised mainly of two equally important components the polymer modified coating and the reinforcement.  The type of reinforcement employed and the blend of the bituminous coating are critical to the success of the roof system.  There are two materials generally used by the industry to reinforce modified membranes – fiberglass and polyester or a combination of the two. 

Garland offers a range of underlayments and reinforcements offering various strength performance characteristics dependent on the roofing project. Our research and development team continually strives for excellence through technological advancements and extensive research and development.

Adhesives

Cold-Process Adhesives

Cold-applied systems are waterproofing or roofing applications that use a cold adhesive (solvent-based or water-based) in the adherence or fusion of the roof system. Such systems are designed primarily to eliminate concerns associated with hot bitumen application by substituting asphalt cutbacks for the hot-mopped bitumen as the interply and surfacing bitumen. Garland's cutting-edge cold-process adhesives actually out-perform conventional hot-applied systems, while providing the eco-friendly characteristics that are so critical to hospitals, schools, and other environmentally sensitive applications.

Urethane Adhesive

The Insul‑Lock II family of insulation adhesives is a one-part, easy-to-apply, solvent-free, asphalt-free urethane. It quickly creates a strong bond with a variety of insulations and deck types, and requires no special application equipment. The adhesive's low-rise foam will not displace insulation boards.

Hot-Process Adhesives

Hot-applied systems typically use an asphalt-based or coal-tar-based modified adhesive to adhere a built-up roof system, and remain a tried-and-proven method for installing modified bitumen roof systems.

Coal Tar Adhesives

Coal-tar-based modified adhesives can be used as an interply with any built-up roofing system, and is ideally suited for Millennium coal tar high-performance systems. The adhesive offers exceptional waterproofing and chemical resistance, and low-temperature flexibility and elongation characteristics that are superior to conventional coal tar.

Mastics

Mastics are inexpensive trowel-grade adhesives or filler designed for flashings, patching and leak repair, which adheres easily to metal, stucco and most commonly used on modified bitumen and built-up roofs. Mastic can be used to patch damage or to seal roof-to-wall connections and plumbing vent penetrations with ease. Garland offers several different formulations that allow you choices for any situation.

Coatings

The Garland Company, Inc. offers a complete range of coatings for single-ply, BUR, modified bitumen, and metal substrates and for a variety of slope configurations, enabling our locally based network of representatives to offer nonbiased, application-appropriate specifications. Whether you are looking for reductions in environmental impact and energy usage, or for improvements in chemical-resistance, moisture control, or color retention — Garland has a solution to meet your functional and budgetary requirements.

Vegetative

Vegetative roofing solutions, commonly known as green roofs, are the pinnacle of sustainable roofing, combining the widest range of ecological benefits with aesthetic versatility, extending the architect's palette to encompass a variety of natural landscapes. Vegetative roofing systems significantly improve the natural environment while enhancing the well-being of people in and around the building.

There are two categories of vegetative roofing:

  1. Extensive vegetative roofs, which use lighter-weight soils and thinner soil depths and can feature sedums, grasses, herbs, and other smaller plants. Once designed and installed, such roofs can typically be maintained by existing building maintenance staff.
  2. Intensive vegetative roofs, which use heavier-weight soils and thicker soil depths to accommodate the planting requirements of woody vegetation, shrubs, and even small trees. These roofs may require the ongoing attention of landscape professionals, in addition to existing building maintenance. Garland began partnering with a European manufacturer of vegetative roofing in 1995 and has spent over a decade perfecting the design and manufacturing process. Every Garland vegetative roof is flood-tested on site to guarantee watertight integrity.

Primary Benefits of Vegetative Roofing

  • Reduction of urban heat-island effect
  • Improvement of oxygen levels and air quality
  • Extended roof service life
  • Reduction of carbon monoxide
  • Improvement of the well-being of people using and viewing them
  • Contribution to LEED Buildings certification points
  • Decrease in noise pollution
  • Conservation of natural resources
