Project Information
Project Year: 2017
Project Size: 143,857 Sq. Feet
Project Location: Birmingham, Alabama
Project Overview: Silicone Restoration over a Metal Roof
Manufacturer Used: Accella Polyurethanes, Dow Corning, Progressive Materials
Hoar Construction was hired to revive the abandoned Colonnade Towers and turn them into offices for a business with over 1,700 employees. Over the years, the towers had become a local landmark for passersby as the big “red” roofs.
West Roofing Systems was called to help with waterproofing the gigantic “red” roofs. Over the years a significant amount of surface rust had developed, along with the failing washers of the grommeted fasteners contributing to the numerous leaks the facility had been experiencing.
The price for the silicone coating system was 25% of the cost of the metal roof replacement project. The 20-year full-system warranty provides the owner with a piece of mind that their roofing concerns are at rest. Upon the expiration of the initial warranty, another restoration application can be installed providing a cost-effective lifecycle for these facilities while being genuinely sustainable and utilizing environmentally responsible solvent-free silicone coatings.
