Fight Fire with Ease
Most property owners are unaware that roofing systems can gradually lose fire resistance over time, making their properties more vulnerable to fire. A single application of FireShield Roof Restoration System can turn virtually any existing EPDM roof, and some asphaltic systems, into a UL Class A-rated roof. FireShield also reflects sunlight, helping to reduce energy costs.
