“A Stitch in Time Saves a Roof”

The hailstorm hit the Trumann area and the six-building Old Singer Plant complex at approximately noon, with devastating consequences.

“Suddenly the sky was a pitch black as it usually is at midnight, then the wind picked up and hailstones really came down,” recalled Glyn Clemons, owner of the Old Singer Plan Complex in Trumann, AR. “They were as big as baseballs and slammed into our facility with the force of major-league fastballs.  Hailstones smashed all the windows of every vehicle in our parking lot.

Glyn Clemons used an acrylic, Elastomeric-coated foam roofing system to quickly and cost-effectively limit the damage to his facility from a devastating hailstorm last summer and provide long-term protection from the elements in the future.

The Elastomeric system applied consisted of spray polyurethane foam and protective coatings supplied by LaPolla Coatings.  LaPolla Coatings’ Therm-O-Flex® coatings are based on Rhoplex® EC acrylic technology from Rohm and Haas Company.

LaPolla Coatings’ acrylic topcoat provides a range of important performance advantages, including weatherability, safety, resistance to water penetration and energy savings.
