Special Liquid Applied Hail and Rain Protection Process for commercial roofing as both hail damage resistance and Ultraviolet Ray protection

Abstract

A liquid applied hail and rain protection roofing material for commercial applications and the process for applying the commercial roofing materials. This is an elastomeric material which is embedded with fiberglass and/or granules of stone-like rubber rock to provide for strength and to resist the hail. An Ultraviolet Ray protection can also be applied. The materials utilized increase the utility as a roofing membrane by making it more elastic and by resulting in greater flexibility at low temperatures and in greater heat resistance at high temperatures. This flexibility prevents softening/flow and deformation from mechanical forces, such as those associated with maintenance personnel walking on the roofing membrane. A roofing membrane may be formed of the material as a laminate of a plurality of types of modified layers at the worksite pre-made as panels then installed at the worksite.
