This Rugged, Hail-Rated Roof Lowers Energy Costs

You may be asking, what is a fabric reinforced roofing system and how can it benefit me? A fabric reinforced roof is a unique system that waterproofs with a seamless acrylic coating in which a tough, flexible fabric is embedded. This combination makes a rugged, yet lightweight membrane that resists splitting and rupturing – the primary cause of leaks. This system also substantially increases the strength of your roof, extends its life expectancy, and increases the energy efficiency of the building. Are you interested in a fabric reinforced roofing system in Lexington, KY?

Look forward to years of trouble-free protection, low maintenance 

Conklin’s Fabric Reinforced Roofing System provides leak-free protection and exceptional energy savings for years. It maintains maximum reflectivity and energy savings because its surfaces are resistant to dirt and discoloration. Annual or bi-annual cleaning is all that’s needed to keep it white. 

Eliminate future roof tear-offs

Years from now, when it’s time to renew the superior protection of your Conklin roof, a simple recoat will do the job. In most cases, multiple recoats can be done for as long as you own your building, saving you the expense of a new roof. With your recoat, our material warranty may also be extended. 

Rugged roof stands the test of time 

  • Stops leaks with superior waterproofing
  • Offers excellent wind and hail protection
  • Increases energy efficiency and lowers utility expense with its cool, white reflective surface
  •  Extends the life of your existing roof

Recoup your costs

A great return on investment is another important reason to install a Conklin Fabric Reinforced Roofing System. Many satisfied building owners discover that a Conklin roof lowers air conditioning costs and can pay for itself during the warranty period. Federal tax rebates, tax credits, and deductions may also offset your investment. Check with your local utility company, tax advisor, and energystar.gov for additional details. 

Reduce cooling expense by up to 30%

The average roof absorbs a large portion of the sun’s ultraviolet rays as heat. Conklin’s white Fabric Reinforced System reflects 85% of the sun’s heat, cooling your roof, which could save as much as 30% in air conditioning costs.
