Hi Tim,

Did you take any macro photos of the stuff. It looks like it might be a CPVC plastic roof but it's too far away to tell. How wide were those strps of material?

OT - OF!!!

Here are the closest I have to close ups. The glare was so bad I couldnt get many decent photos.

Was there bitumen under the foil?

Hey Jim,

Going by feel, there was bitumen under the cover. No bitumen was was visible, however. The silver material was 'rolled' around the edges sthat I could not see a cross section. It was profenally done, and except for som air bubbles that you can see in the photo,it looked like a solid installation.

Hi,

That's why I asked how wide it was. Last week when I was in Florida I was in a place that sold a bituthene product called Peel & Seal that comes in roles that ranged all the way from 3 inches wide up to 22 inches wide. The stuff can be gotten with foil facing like that or with a white vinyl facing or other colors of viny facings. When it was rolled down using a laminate roller, it looked just like that stuff.

I "temporarily" repaired some wind damage on my own house with the stuff. I found it at a local lumber yard. 6" wide in my case. The repair actually lasted about 5 years until I finally had the re-model done.

But...I thought it was intended for temp repairs and not a whole roof?

Hi Richard,

Yeah, I guess that's the same stuff. I'm amazed that it stayed up there on those granules five years. It likes a very clean, smooth and dry surface.

Down in Florida they use that stuff on the joints of the metal roofs on the single and double-wides followed by a highly reflective coating. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, though. Even on a 90° day, once it was rolled onto a thoroughly scoured and clean surface, it was tenacious and wouldn't come off without a fight.

Yeah,

That's the stuff. I remember seeing the funny Ohio town name someplace when I was doing the job.

How much does it cost.?

Aluminum isn't cheap.

From memory, a 33' role 9 inches wide was about $33.
