No Compromise Here... U
ntil now, self-adhering technology was perceived as easy to install, but lacking in the durability expected of tough commercial applications. At GAF, we’ve utilized our technical resources as North America’s largest roofing manufacturer to provide you with the most versatile, durable, and reliable products in the industry. You now have available a full series of products and specifications that combine the hassle-free ease of the self-adhering technology you desire—with the performance of the fully adhered system you demand. Factory-applied adhesive ensures quality and the right amount of adhesive. With field-applied adhesives, too much adhesive can damage the system; too little and you won’t have adequate adhesion. GAF’s uniformly applied factory adhesives ensure the proven performance of fully adhered systems, and there’s no need for the mess and safety concerns associated with hot asphalt, cold adhesives, or torch-applied applications. In addition, GAF isn’t rooted in any one technology…we offer many options tailored to your specific needs. Having options assures the best choice to protect your property.
GAF self-adhering roofing systems are: • E asy to install… Fully self-adhering Liberty™ SBS Modified Bitumen Systems with factory-applied adhesive • T raditional with a twist… Hybrid systems that combine Liberty™ SA Base/ Ply Sheet with Ruberoid® SBS Heat-Weld or APP Cap Sheets • Where energy efficiency is required… Freedom™ TPO with Heat-Weld Seams or RapidSeam™ Technology
