Fabric Reinforced Roofing

Fabric-Reinforced Roofing Systems

Our most rugged roof system, a seamless waterproof membrane with tough, flexible fabric embedded across the entire roof.

What Is Fabric-Reinforced Roofing?

01

The System

A fabric-reinforced roofing system waterproofs your roof with a seamless acrylic coating in which a tough, flexible polyester fabric is fully embedded, not just at the seams, but across the entire roof surface.

The fabric is saturated in a base coat and applied in overlapping sheets to form one continuous, monolithic membrane with no seams anywhere. A bright white reflective top coat finishes the system. The combination creates a rugged yet lightweight roof that resists splitting and rupturing, the primary causes of leaks, while substantially increasing the strength of the roof itself.

It’s the system we recommend when a building owner wants maximum durability: for older roofs with a history of problems, roofs in severe weather areas, and owners who want to fix the roof once and be done with it.

One System, Nearly Any Roof

That versatility makes it an excellent choice for both restoring existing roofs and protecting new construction.

Why Owners Choose Fabric Reinforcement

02

The Case

01

Full-Strength, Everywhere

Unlike systems that reinforce only the seams, the fabric spans the entire roof, adding tear resistance, hail and wind protection, and structural toughness across every square foot.

02

Truly Seamless

Seams are where roofs fail. This system has none. The overlapping fabric sheets are fully immersed in coating, curing into one continuous membrane with no air pockets to trap condensation.

03

40–60% Less Than Tear-Off

Like all restoration systems, fabric-reinforced roofing renews the roof you already own, no demolition, disposal, or downtime.

04

Up to 30% Lower Cooling Costs

The white reflective top coat bounces back up to 85% of the sun’s heat, reducing air conditioning expense and interior temperatures.

05

Painless Repairs, Renewable Warranty

If the roof is ever damaged, repairs are simple and blend into the membrane. The system carries a renewable material warranty of up to 18 years, recoat at the end of the term and keep the protection going for as long as you own the building.

How the System Is Installed

03

The Process

01

Clean & Prime

The roof is professionally cleaned and primed so the base coat bonds directly to the substrate, full adherence, no air pockets.

02

Detail the Weak Points

Seams, curbs, vents, and penetrations are detailed first, with fabric embedded into the base coat at every vulnerable transition.

03

Reinforce the Entire Field

Fabric is embedded into another layer of base coat and applied in overlapping sheets across the whole roof, forming a seamless, monolithic surface.

04

Top Coat

A white, highly reflective finish coat seals and protects the system, delivering the energy savings and UV protection that keep the roof performing for decades.

A standard coating system reinforces the seams with fabric and coats the field. A fabric-reinforced system embeds fabric across the entire roof, creating a stronger membrane with maximum split and puncture resistance. It’s the heavier-duty option of the two.

No structural concerns, the finished membrane is rugged but lightweight, adding only a fraction of the weight of a new conventional roof and far less than a second layer of membrane.

Most projects finish in days. There’s no tear-off phase, so weather delays and disruption are minimal.
