The Garland Co. Inc., Cleveland-based manufacturer and distributor of high-performance solutions for the commercial building envelope, recently released “Garland Coating Solutions,” a brochure providing architects, building owners and specifiers with an overview of the numerous coating technologies available to enhance the performance and extend the life of commercial roofs. The brochure analyzes the cost-to-value benefits of using coatings to enhance, restore and maintain roofs, while helping customers differentiate coatings solutions according to specific performance requirements, such as reflectivity, chemical resistance, sustainability, moisture control and color retention. Joe Mellott, Garland’s director of technology, reports: “In today’s economic environment, timely restorations offer a lot of dollars-and-cents benefits by extending the service life of a roof before eventual tear-off and replacement. The proactive use of protective coatings to maintain and enhance roof surfaces can significantly reduce the long-term costs of ownership for high-performance roofs.”
