Lasting Protection Where You Need It Most
Metal roofs are frequently specified by engineers, architects, and contractors because they are lightweight, durable, and relatively easy and inexpensive to install. But they have one major weakness. Leaks often develop along the seams of metal roofs due to rust or corrosion, deterioration of fasteners, poor joint design, or structural settling. Fortunately, you can compensate for these problems with Conklin’s Metal Roofing System. Conklin’s Metal Roofing System is designed specifically to prevent leaks where they occur most – at the seams. Our unique combination of liquid-applied acrylic base coat, flexible polyester fabric or butyl tape, and white reflective topcoat provides a durable, waterproof finish that will prevent leaks from ruining your roof – and a whole lot more.



Complete Coverage in Five Easy Steps
The Metal Roofing System is easy to install and won’t disrupt your business or work. Here’s how this innovative system works:



Step 1: Surface Preparation
Loose rust and scale are removed by wirebrushing, scraping, or sandblasting. All field-applied coatings must be removed. Galvanized metal surfaces are acid etched to remove oil, dirt and debris and are thoroughly rinsed with water, and allowed to dry completely. Rusty areas are primed.



Step 2: Caulking
All end laps, screw heads, washers and openings are sealed with Kwik Kaulk®, Conklin’s acrylic caulking compound.



Step 3: Treating the Seams
The base coat and Spunflex fabric reinforcement or Conklin 3” butyl tape are applied along all vertical panel joints. Spunflex II or Conklin 6” butyl tape is used on horizontal seams.

  



Step 4: Reflective Top Coat
The white reflective top coat is applied over fabric-reinforced joints and screws.



Step 5: Final Coat
A final white reflective top coat is applied over the entire roof. Conklin’s Metal Roofing System will adhere to bare steel primed with Metal Ready®, Conklin’s rust inhibiting metal primer, galvanized steel and aluminum metal decks.
