The completed roof-over is attractive, lightweight and maintenance-free, eliminating “roof rumble” while greatly improving energy-efficiency.
Installed over the foam insulation and mechanically fastened to the structure of the home, the Cooley C3 membrane provides a weatherproof barrier. The membrane is made with DuPont “Elvaloy” KEE to help resist harsh weather and damaging UV rays. Its white finish reflects the sun’s rays, and the membrane is qualified by the EPA as an “ENERGY STAR” roofing product.
The first step in mobile/manufactured home roof-overis to attach a lightweight, energy effecient foam insulation over the existing roof deck.
Besides absorbing heat, the typical .o28-guage metal roofs of mobile/manufactured homes are susceptible to damage from the elements. Without continual care and upkeep, they’re prone to premature failure.
Comfort Cover Systems finishes it’s roof-over by replacing all vents and plumbing stacks with new spun aluminum vents.
DuPont™ Elvaloy® KEE is a solid, yet flexible terpolymer, and the basis of the world’s best thermoplastic roofing membranes. It helps keep them pliable and highly maintainable years after installation. All thermoplastic roofing membranes start out flexible and can be heat-welded. Some thermoplastics are made flexible with volatile liquid plasticizers. Over time, these plasticizers can migrate out, causing the membrane to shrink and become brittle. This can cause tearing of the membrane and leave it much more difficult to heat weld for repairs or for new cut-ins for vents or equipment.
DuPont™ Elvaloy® KEE, however, won’t migrate out-being a flexible solid, it remains in your roofing membrane, helping keep it pliable and weldable for life. Properly formulated roofing membranes with Elvaloy® KEE, have been resisting the elements and performing for decades. So effective is Elvaloy® KEE, a new ASTM standard (D6754-02) has been issued for membranes containing it…a standard redefining the industry’s expectations for superior roofing performance.
