Full roof replacements require tearing the existing system off and going back with all new insulation, attachment, and membrane. This is not only disruptive to the facility, but creates immense amounts of landfill waste. And to add, it’s the most expensive option.
In many situations, the existing roof system is in a condition where it is a candidate for a recover, salvaging most, if not all, of the existing insulation and membrane. With minor repairs, the existing roof can be upgraded with a new liquid-applied, seamless membrane at a much lower cost than a wasteful tear-off.
The TritoFlex liquid recover system utilizes the remaining durability and waterproofing value of existing roofs by bonding directly to them with 80 mils of pure waterproofing.

Case Study
Central Washington University diverted 46,000 lbs of landfill waste and offset 67 metric tons of CO2 by choosing to recover an old roof instead of tearing it off.
Central Washington University had a building previously coated with an acrylic roof coating and was at the end of its useful life. The roof was leaking and in need of a solution. During the bid process, they were presented with the options to tear off and replace the existing modified bitumen roof or to recover it with a new TritoFlex liquid rubber membrane.
