lets start this off by explaining what Conklin is. First of all Conklin has five different services: agricultural, animal products, health and home, vehicle products, and roofing systems. Today we will just look at the commercial roofing side of things.
Conklin offers five different roofing systems single-ply, fabric reinforced, metal, spray foam, and membrane. I will take time to explain each one in detail at another time.
42 years ago Conklin made what they call "acrylic roof coatings" and these coatings are designed to reflect a great majority of the suns harmful rays.
Aside from Blocking most of the suns rays the acrylic coating also saves you money in cooling and heating expenses.
(let me show you a chart to show you what I mean.)
As you can see a conklin roof is much, much cooler then the others, now 100 degrees is a hot outside temperature but in roof standards it's almost cold! Amazing, right?
White Reflective vs. Black Asphalt vs. Aluminized Coating
Black asphalt: Asphalt roofing is just what it sounds like, super hot and NOT very sun reflective.
Aluminum Roofing: Metal, aluminum, and stainless steel are very similar in toughness and strength, however all three suck up the sun like there's no tomorrow.
Conklin Cool White roofs: One major quality is that Conklin roofs are white so they are naturally going to remain cool, stay away from black roofs! Here's why.
Another example of how awesome Conklin roofs are!
Conklin Roofing Systems
Metal
The metal roofing system is a complete waterproofing system, it stops leaks and rust in their tracks. During the restoration process every problem area is addressed and fixed so your roof is leak-free for years to come.
Fabric Reinforced
A fabric reinforced replacement system seals with a seamless acrylic coating in which a tough flexible fabric is embedded to ensure that your roof will resist splitting and rupturing. The result of the two make a tough yet flexible and lightweight roof that will last from years to come.
Single-ply
Single-ply is the strongest and toughest roofing system in the Conklin lineup, During installation the membrane rolls are unrolled and welded together, let me say again. WELDED! (not with steel wire though they are welded with something else.) Anyways the thing is really strong, so buy one.
Spray Foam
The spray foam roofing system is a liquid applied system which means their are no seams (the primary cause of leaks.) With an insulation value of R-6.5 per inch of thickness. The SPF system effectively controls air filtration and keeps the cost for heating and cooling at a minimum.
Membrane
As TPO and other membranes get old they tend to crack and split causing leaks, which hinders their ability to save you money. If your membrane is old and not very leak-proof consider recoating your roof with a strong yet flexible membrane such as this.
Cost of a Conklin Roof
I know what you're thinking, "These Conklin roofs have got to be super expensive, right"? Well I have news for you. Conklin roofs are surprisingly affordable, however it's very hard to give you a price range because it depends on size and shape of your roof.
I can give you a list of the cheapest coatings to the most expensive top coats.
BENCHMARK: Sitting in the cheapest spot is the Benchmark top coat it is superior when it comes to strength and durability. This coating has an 85 percent solar reflective value for optimum efficiency.
RAPID ROOF III: Coming in at second place is the Rapid roof III, this coating has had more then 40 years of worry-free service. In a standard white color Rapid Roof III provides 85% sun protection. Amazing, right?
PUMA XL: Puma XL can be applied to many different substrates and offers amazing tensile strength, with an 18 year warranty you can see that Puma XL is the best in the business.
It doesn't really matter because most of the buyers are able to pay it off their roof well within the warranty period.
