Historic and Vintage Homes

Every construction or maintenance project – whether it involves roof waterproofing products, waterproof masonry sealers, or specialty wall coatings – must be handled with the utmost care. But historic and vintage homes, that define the very character of many of our communities, require special attention and consideration. They deserve high performance coating systems, masonry sealers, roof systems, elastomeric coatings, corrosion control coatings, and protective coatings that offer durability and proven performance.  Acrymax offers products and systems for historic building preservation, vintage roofing restoration, and historic home repair that are durable, sustainable, and proven!

HISTORIC ROOFS – PRESERVATION AND RESTORATION

A weatherproof roof is fundamental in the preservation of a structure. Additionally, in many cases the roof of a historic structure also imparts much of the architectural character of the building.  When it comes time to choose building materials for a roofing restoration project or vintage home repair, the goal is to protect the aging surface while not taking away from the aesthetics that make historic buildings such integral parts of our surroundings. So when the building at hand calls for historic restoration or preservation, you need a company like Acrymax to balance the charm and character of the structure with modern technology that will make it last.

Historic standing seam metal roofs generally offer long lasting performance, but they do eventually leak. Metal roofs also need to be well painted to prevent corrosion. Acrymax has developed systems for restoring and protecting standing seam metal roofs that provide durable waterproof protection while retaining the historic character of these roofs. Acrymax offers roof coatings in a range of historical colors to meet the aesthetic needs of historic metal roofs.

Many historic homes also have flat roofs. For these roofs aesthetics is not the highest priority – roof performance is. Acrymax offers a range of options for flat roofs. In some cases the roof may only requires a protective roof maintenance coating to provide protection and extend the life of the existing roof, but when a complete roof system is required Acrymax’s Fully Reinforced Roof Systems offer exceptional long term performance. Reflective cool roof systems offer superior performance and energy savings for flat roofs.

Proper roof maintenance and timely roof repairs are essential if a roof is to provide leak free protection. Acrymax offers a range of maintenance coating options for asphalt roofs, metal roofs, concrete roofs, and other roof types. In some cases an immediate and temporary stabilization of a leaking roof is necessary to prevent further deterioration of an historic home. Acrymax coating systems can also be used for temporary roof repairs until funds can be allocated to do a proper job. A frequent cause of roof leaks is failure of the roof flashing systems. Acrymax has methods to repair, reinforce, and waterproof roof flashings. From roof repair to complete roof systems Acrymax has solutions for every type of roof.
