Kemperol Roofpatch - Advanced waterproofing technology for small repairs from Kemper System; demonstrations scheduled during the BuildingsNY Show

Kemper System pioneered cold, liquid-applied, reinforced waterproofing technology for roofs over 50 years. Now the company is bringing advanced waterproofing technology to small repairs with the U.S. introduction of the new Kemperol Roofpatch repair kit at BuildingsNY 2013 (Booth #520). Demonstrations are scheduled during the show at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York, April 24th-25th in the Solutions Center Theater, 2 - 2:30 p.m. The kit is ideal for building owners and managers, roofing and waterproofing specialists needing to make emergency roof repairs. The ready-to-use, emergency patch can reliably stop leaks and cover cracks and damaged areas in: bitumen sheets, PVC roofing sheets, concrete, wood and metal. The patch is rainfast in 60 minutes and can be walked on after 12 hours. The kit is now available through select distributors. Also featured at BuildingsNY will be the versatile Kemperol 2K-PUR odor-free liquid-resin waterproofing and roofing membrane that can provide multiple solutions across the building envelope. Kemper System also offers a special program to help owners and managers of high-value properties minimize headaches (and associated complaints) across buildings of varying age, substrates and waterproofing materials. With the Kemperol system, most structures do not require removal of existing roofing which can be disruptive and add to costs. Its liquid-membranes can cover, recover or restore roofs and balconies, as well as protect rooftop gardens, walkways, recreational areas, parking garages, and even building façades. In addition, white or reflective finishes can help reduce building energy demands, and "blue roofs" can ease runoff into local sewer systems and waterways. Kemper employs a nationwide network of committed sales representatives and a staff of professional technical support consultants that provide expert counseling, evaluation and long-term, built-to-last solutions. Kemper System projects are supported by an experienced technical department, site quality control department and customer care support center, as well as trained technical field sales representatives throughout the U.S. and Canada.
