Cabral Roofing & Waterproofing Corp. offers complete
roofing-related contracting services, including new roofing, re-roofing,
roof restoration, repair, maintenance, and below-grade waterproofing.
From industrial commercial facilities to commercial
buildings, no job is too large or too small. We offer proven expertise
in all roofing services, systems and materials including:
Asphalt emulsion and chopped glass (bitumen BUR
waterproof membrane surfacing).
Spray-applied asphalt adhesive and asphalt-coated
ply sheets ("cold BUR").
Asphalt emulsion and polyester fabric reinforcement
(reinforced seamless monolithic membrane).
Single-Ply Roofing Membrane
The list of manufactured single-ply roofing membranes
is long, including Vulcanized Elastomers such as EPMD and Neoprene;
Non-vulcanized Elastomers such as CSPE, CPE, PIB and NBP; and Thermoplastics
such as PVC and EIP. Each manufacturer provides material specific
warranties on these single-ply membranes. Cabral is experienced
and familiar with each type of single-ply membrane. We know their
benefits, their limitations, and we are trained in all manufacturer-recommended
installation procedures.
Polymer Modified Bitumen Roofing
Polymer modified bitumen membranes are engineered
waterproofing materials using asphalt-based bitumen and APP or SBS
polymers. Modified bitumen membranes are attached to the substrate
by hot asphalt, heat fusing or cold-applied adhesives to form a
strong, flexible, puncture resistant material. They combine the
reliability of time-proven hot asphalt-applied BUR roofing systems
with the modern benefits of flexible plastic additives and polyester/fiberglass
reinforcement roofing technology.
Built-up Roofing (BUR)
Applied over commercial property low-slope roof decks,
a BUR bituminous membrane consists of two or more plies of fiberglass
reinforced felts saturated with bituminous materials. Deck separator
sheets, base sheets and various surfacing options are not considered
components of the waterproof membrane.
Commercial Steep Roofing
Many buildings are designed to present the impression
of traditional steep roofing when viewed from street level. The
visible portion of these "mansard" style roofs may employ
metal, composition shingles, clay tile, concrete tile, slate, wood
shingles or shakes as architectural surfacing for the waterproof
underlayment and associated trim and metal flashings attached to
the steep slope deck. Proper installation and repair of these steep
slope deck systems requires careful and knowledgeable consideration
of many factors, including deck support members, deck construction,
insulation, underlayment, fasteners, adhesives, caulks, high wind
uplift considerations, edge metal, trim, metal flashing, surfacing
style, and color. Cabral understands the complexities of steep roofing.
Wall and Below-Grade Waterproofing
Cabral also offers entire exterior building envelope
waterproofing solutions. We are expert in the application of modern
waterproofing systems and materials, including asphalt, coal tar,
butyl rubber, EPDM, PVC, modified asphalt, bentonite, penetrating
sealant and 100% acrylic emulsions.
