    AlphaGuard BIO requires minimal equipment, reduced crew sizes, and a smaller overall footprint on a jobsite resulting in less impact to a facility. It is a virtually odorless product, eliminating the potential for odor-based issues with building occupants. Restoration significantly reduces the need for removal of roofing components which opens the roof to the elements during the process.
  • How does the AlphaGuard BIO system help reduce energy?
    The highly reflective white topcoats of the AlphaGuard BIO system can significantly lower rooftop temperatures and reduce the Heat Island Effect. This helps to keep building interiors cooler and more comfortable, leading to a potential reduction in the amount of energy that a facility uses.

    When installed properly by trained applicators, the AlphaGuard BIO system provides customers with a 20-year warranty. Customers also have an option to recoat if they want to extend the roof’s life by another 10 years.
