III. Execution

3.01 Manufacturer's Instructions

1. Comply with the instructions and recommendations of the roof restoration system manufacturer.
2. Comply with manufacturer's product data, including product technical bulletins.

3.02 Examination

1. Verify conditions are acceptable for application of roof restoration system.
2. Inspect polyurethane foam roof to receive roof coating and make sure they are clean, sound, properly prepared and free of moisture, dirt, debris or other contaminants.
3. A comprehensive moisture survey is to be conducted to locate and identify areas of trapped moisture and saturated insulation.
4. Verify that all on-roof items, penetrations, mechanical equipment, HVAC drains are in place and secure. All air conditioning and air intake vents should be suitably protected or closed.
5. Verify that areas within the vicinity of the application area as protected from overspray.
6. Verify that all roof drains, gutters, downspouts, catch basins are clean and in working order.

3.03 Preparation

1. Cleaning: The entire polyurethane foam roof surface must be clean, sound, dry and free of any contaminants that would interfere with the proper adhesion of the roof coating. This may require pressure washing, scraping, wire brushing or other means necessary while observing responsible trade practices. All loose paint and rust should be removed before applying any product.
2. Ponding Water: Contractor shall make every effort to mechanically eliminate all ponding water areas on the built up roof prior to application of any roof coating product. For roofs with minor ponding (ie. small puddles less than 1/2" deep) that cannot be corrected, consider using the solvent system.
3. Repairs: Wet roof insulation and damaged membranes are to be removed and replaced as necessary to match existing specified material. All ponds should be repaired.
4. Do not apply coatings until all unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected in a manner acceptable to the original polyurethane foam roofing manufacturer.

3.04 Application

1. Inspect polyurethane foam to receive roof coating. Always perform a coating adhesion test before doing the entire job.
2. Base Coat: Apply appropriate base coat using the application rates specified in the table below. Allow to dry thoroughly for 8 - 12 hours depending on humidity and temperature.
3. Top Coat: Apply appropriate top coat in a cross-hatch technique using the application rates specified in the table below. Allow to dry and cure before exposing to foot traffic.

Use the Acrylic System for polyurethane foam roofs that have not been previously coated with silicone. Use the Silicone System to recoat silicone coated polyurethane foam roofs or when outdoor temperatures are no longer favorable for acrylic coatings.

3.05 Field Quality Control

1. Utilize manufacturer's field services to verify proper installation of the system. Areas that do not meet the minimum standards for application specified herein shall be corrected at the contractor's expense. Manufacturer's inspection or verification shall not constitute acceptance of responsibility for any improper application of material.

3.06 Cleaning

1. Surfaces not to be coated shall be protected during the application of the system. If protection is not feasible, surfaces shall be restored to their proper condition by cleaning, repairing or replacing.
2. In conjunction with the final inspection, all debris, containers, materials and equipment are to be properly removed from the job site. Grounds are to be cleaned undamaged and acceptable to the owner.
3. Dispose of all containers in accordance with state and local environmental regulations.
4. Reflectivity of coatings may be reduced if roof surface is not cleaned regularly.

3.07 Protection

1. Control overspray especially during windy conditions.
2. All parking areas adjacent to (within 75 feet ) the work area are to be cleared and roped off.
3. Protect work from damage due to subsequent construction activity on the site.
4. Roof coatings are not traffic grade. Areas surrounding roof top equipment may be reinforced by embedding SeamStitch® Polyester Roofing fabric and applying a thicker membrane (40 - 50 mils). Walk pads should be used if frequent maintenance traffic is expected.
