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



Anti 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.   Proof: 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.   Proof: 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.

Virgin Products Both Sides
