Home Contractors Architects EcoWise Building Owners


Track Record
Benefit: IB's PVC membrane has a 25 year track record with installation from Hawaii to Florida.   Example: Harrisburg School District has over 5,500 SQ of IB 50 mil membrane performing leak free for over 25 years.



Non-Wicking Scrim
Benefit: IB scrim is pre-sealed so that it will not wick water into the sheet. It does not rely on seam sealers that must be maintained.   Example: Specified formula requires scrim to be dipped in plasticizers until fully absorbed. ASTM D570 (water absorption) industry requirement >3% IB actual is .24%.



Energy Saving Product
Benefit: IB reflects most of the UV rays that strike the roof surface, eliminating heat from the roof area. This translates into savings for you in energy costs.   Example: Heat gain comparison illustrates that on a 85 degree day a regular smooth black roof heats up to 172 degrees, while the IB white membrane only warms to 91 degrees.



Longest Warranties
Benefit: IB warrants every square foot of membrane. All standard warranties are non-prorated covering you 100% until the last day.   Example: 25 Year Non-Prorated Warranty on 80 mil membrane and Lifetime Warranty for all residential applications.

60% Elongation
Benefit: IB membrane has the ability to flex and move with the building as it expands and contracts.   Example: ASTM test D751 industry requirement <15% IB actual 60%.



Virgin Products Both Sides
Benefit: This provides a more even melting point to gain better seaming abilities. This reduces cold welds during the application.   Example: Specified formula calls for using virgin PVC.



50/50 Top Film and Base Film
Benefit: IB membranes are the same thickness on top and bottom so that it is easily welded and has a substantial thickness above the scrim.   Example: Top and bottom films are produced to even plys and then laminated together.



PVC Will Not Cure
Benefit: Our products will remain weldable so that you can make repairs or flash new details as your roof changes.   Example: IB's Technical Department has re-welded IB membrane in excess of twenty years.



Colors
Benefit: IB Roof Systems products can be custom colored to match or enhance the appearance of your building.   Example: IB has 7 different colors in stock.



Top Coat
Benefit: IB's top coat provides a cleaner roof longer than anyone else.   Example: IB's white membrane has a 3 year CRRC value.
