ROOFING Projects the system has been used on include the 10,000 sq. ft. Desjardins Financial building in downtown Toronto that included the installation of a rooftop solar array; a pilot project to reroof Shell gas stations and con- venience stores at various locations across Ontario; and waterproofing for a reinforced concrete foundation for a turbine at a wind farm in Orangeville. In addition, the new Kemperol Reflect 2K FR ‘Cool Roof’ system can help reduce building cooling costs. The product meets Toronto Cool Roof standards and eligibility require- ments for LEED credits. Richard Doornink, Kemper System Canada president and managing director, says the easy to apply Cool Roof resin membrane system consists of 70 per cent rapidly renew- able resources, is fire rated for Class-A assemblies, and is odour free and low VOC. “Kemperol Reflect 2K FR extends our efforts to support sustainable design. It is an all in one cool roof system, so no reflective topcoat is necessary which reduces labour costs during initial installation and future maintenance costs.” He says it offers the same advantages of standing up to harsh Canadian conditions including sun, wind, rain, pond- ing water, snow and ice. “Both of these key products fully adhere to substrates, and are self-flashing and self-termi- nating. They can monolithically seal roof perimeters, multi- ple penetrations and virtually any architectural detail.” According to a media release, Kemper System invented cold liquid-applied, reinforced membrane roofing and wa- terproofing technology more than 50 years ago and holds the first patents. The company provides long term, built to last solutions for: white roofs, green roofs, blue roofs, new roof assemblies, existing roof recovery, metal roofs, bal- conies and terraces, plazas, historic restoration, gutter- ways, interior and industrial applications and below-grade waterproofing.
