Three Layers of Protection

Tremco's AlphaGrade restores existing gravel built-up roof (BUR)

Tough as they are, gravel-surfaced built up-roofs (BUR) often deteriorate with age. Until now, all you could do was install a short-term restoration solution or replace or retrofit the roof, which can be very expensive, labor-intensive, messy, and disruptive. The innovative AlphaGrade process is simple, and features three layers of protection.

We start by removing old, loose, and potentially dangerous gravel from the existing roof top. The first layer of AlphaGrade protection is then applied to lock in the rock, and form a bond to the existing gravel surface.
The second layer, AlphaGrade Base Coat seals in the leveling coat and provides an additional layer of waterproofing.
The third and final layer of AlphaGrade top coat offers a bright, highly reflective finish that protects the system and reduces energy usage.

The fully restored system is installed in as little as a few days, has no smell, can help you avoid landfill waste, or disruption to your facility and its occupants. Why replace, when you can restore with AlphaGrade.
