R400 Case Studies

R400 Rubber & Membrane Installed on Modified Flat Roof

This flat roof was previously treated with a Lanco elastomeric roof coating. As you can see from the pictures, the coating has not held up well and completely de-laminated in standing water sections. This is why we always recommend not using an elastomeric product, because they are produced with additives that make the coating less durable and begin to fail within a year or so.

The flat roof was pressure cleaned thoroughly to remove all of the flaking Lanco coating, dirt and mildew. A coat of Pro Bond 200 was applied to the entire covering to prepare the surface.

In the standing water sections, the Polyester Membrane was laid out and coated with R400 Rubber. The entire covering received 2 coats of R400 Rubber.

This system will easily hold up in ponding water areas, and will maintain a strong bond to the roof covering even in extreme weather, such as a hurricane. The anti fungal and mildew properties of R400 will also ensure that minimal presure cleaning will be needed throughout the years.

Non-Skid Covering for Patio Walkway

The R400 Non-Skid coating was used to cover the entire balcony walkways at this community. 

This particular walkway had several areas that needed thorough prep work before any coating could be applied. Flaking paint was grinded out, rusting areas of the fencing was treated and the entire area was swept and pressure cleaned.

Pro Bond 200 was applied to the entire walkway to create the best bond possible between the substrate and R400. Then Polyester Membrane was laid out and coated with R400 Non-Skid, tinted to a soft grey color, as requested by the client.

Polyester Membrane was used in this scenario because

The membrane and aggragate of the Non-Skid products worked very well for this walkway. You can see in the pictures that the finished walkway surface has great texture. Perfect for providing a non-slip surface, but also remaining comfortable to walk on with bare feet.
