Paradiene 20 is the first ply of Paradiene 20/30 Systems. The base ply is an elastomeric asphalt blend reinforced with a fiberglass mat that absorbs roof stresses, while the granule-surfaced top ply, Paradiene 30 or Parafor 30, shields the base from the elements and mechanical abuse. These high-performance modified bitumen base plies can be applied in approved Type III or Type IV asphalt, PA-1000 Polymer Asphalt, Siplast PA-311 Adhesives, or SFT Adhesive.

Test Siplast Article 5

With so many commercial roof systems available, building owners typically rely on roofing contractors to help select the right options for their properties. As a commercial roofing professional, you should consider several factors when deciding which roof system is right for the building. Without all of the necessary information, it can be hard to know if you made the right recommendation.

LCCA Techniques for Roofs on Complex Building Types

One of the critical components of a building, both in terms of design and cost, is its roofing system. Building owners and consultants face the challenge of accurately predicting and managing a facility's long-term costs; life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) can help. Initial capital expenditures are often the focus during the design and construction phases. However, the ongoing costs associated with a building's energy use, as well as roof maintenance and eventual replacement, can make up a significant portion of a roof's total expenses over the service life of a building and its roof.

Paradiene 20/30 SBS-modified Bitumen Membrane Systems

There are certain physical properties that high-quality SBS-modified bitumen membrane systems (e.g., Siplast Paradiene 20/30 system) have that help enable it to maintain performance over decades of service on a roof. It starts with the asphalt blend, which drives some of the physical requirements for long term performance. The reinforcement combined with the upper and lower layers of SBS-modified bitumen determine the primary physical properties and performance characteristics of the sheet. In other words, what Siplast does prior to and during manufacture of the Paradiene 20 and Paradiene 30 sheets is a huge part of what leads to the roof's potential long service life. Of course, the installation, the design, and maintenance of the roof also play a big role. Assuming that those aspects are handled properly, it is the SBS-modified bitumen formulation combined with the reinforcement (i.e., the roof membrane) that composes the backbone of the system that sets up the installed roofing system for long-term success.

Proper Design of a Roof System's Thermal Insulation Layer

Polyisocyanurate insulation (polyiso) has the highest market share in the rooﬁng industry–approximately 70%. It's been the market leader for decades. Why? Because polyiso has the highest R-value per inch of insulating materials that are commonly used in the rooﬁng market. There are other insulation types that come close, but none that are widely used match the R-5.7 per inch insulating value of polyiso. Polyiso is also widely used because of its other beneﬁts: its availability, material compatibility, impact and ﬁre performance, general durability, relative moisture resistance, and its ability to be attached/secured by various methods. Given its characteristics, there's good reason polyiso insulation is a market leader.
