Unrivaled Quality and Versatility

Factory Mutual (FM) testing proved to put WetSuit in a class all its own.  With an unheard of wind uplift rating of Class 1-990, the ability to withstand severe hail, a Class A fire rating, high puncture resistance, and 1600% elongation, WetSuit is Approved by Factory MutualWetSuit exhibits unrivalled quality, durability, and versatility.  In addition, WetSuit is proven as a viable air and vapor barrier.  With very low perms, WetSuit can be employed not only in below grade applications and roofing, but in between as a seamless, fluid-applied vapor barrier as well.

Time and Money Saving

Because WetSuit is so lightweight and has excellent adhesion to most roof surfaces, the need to tear off existing roofs is most often eliminated.  This greatly reduces installation costs and environmental impacts.  Surface preparation is generally limited to pressure washing the old roof to provide a clean surface.  Then, utilizing only one applicator, WetSuit can be installed at a fast and efficient rate of about 1,500 square foot per hour.  This reduces crew size and install time.
