Introduction of StressPly®

performance modified
bitumen roofing system
manufactured in North
America
i n n o v a t i o n t i m e l i n e
1980
When Garland introduced modified bitumen technologies to North America in the 1970s, the
market was looking for a higher-performing alternative to conventional built-up roofing (BUR)
systems. Today, as building owners and the architectural community increasingly embrace
sustainable building performance, modified bitumen technology is more relevant than ever.
Unparalleled strength and low-temperature flexibility help modified bitumen roofs achieve the
most critical sustainability characteristic of all — longevity. In addition, innovative advances
in manufacturing processes, application methods, and surfacings make modified bitumen
technology an attractive alternative to conventional roofing in eco-sensitive applications,
such as hospitals and schools.
The Garland family of modified bitumen roofing solutions encompasses a variety of
sophisticated polymer chemistries, innovative application technologies, unique scrim designs,
and exciting surfacing options that combine to create a new industry standard for life-cycle
return on investment in high-performance buildings. Your local Garland representative
is backed by the financial strength and resources of a leading researcher, developer, and
manufacturer of roofing technologies. As such, he can help you determine which system
solutions are most appropriate for your functional, aesthetic, and budgetary requirements.

As a member of the Cool Roof Rating Council
(CRRC®), Garland offers a number of reflective
surfacing options for applications where energy-
cost reduction is a primary goal. To complement
the environmentally friendly StressPly EUV system,
we offer a factory-applied, bright white, highly
reflective Sunburst® mineral surfacing, which is
also compatible with many StressPly membranes.
Our two ENERGY STAR® qualified solutions,
Pyramic® white acrylic elastomeric coating and our
White-Knight® / White-Stallion® multi-purpose
urethane restoration coatings, can reduce energy
requirements by as much as 60 percent. For a highly
reflective aluminized surface, we offer Silver-Shield®
premium fibered aluminum and Garla-Brite® non-
fibered aluminum roof coatings.
For enduring reflectivity, white aggregate surfacing
retains its resistance to UV degradation longer
than bright white reflective membranes. Aggregate
surfacing, which is variously available in shades of
tan, white, and gray, provides the added benefits
of a thick barrier coat, an extra layer of flood coat
waterproofing, and resistance to fire and abrasion.

This StressPly roof with
aggregate surfacing has
remained watertight
since its installation in
1986, with only routine
maintenance.
Since the first generation of StressPly modified bitumen roofing was
introduced, StressPly and its extended family have been used in new
construction and retrofit applications on a wide variety of commercial,
industrial, educational, governmental, retail, and healthcare applications
across the United States of America, Canada, South America, Europe,
and Asia. With a guaranteed service life of 20 years or more, Garland
modified bitumen solutions achieve a lower life-cycle cost than other
low-slope roofing systems by combining the highest quality materials
with a stringently monitored installation process that optimizes the
customer’s return on investment.
For applications where an even longer life cycle is desired, or where
ponding is a serious concern, Garland also offers the Millennium® series
of premium modified coal tar pitch membranes – the only membrane
in its class available with a factory-applied mineral surfacing. Traditional
aggregate and reflective coatings are also available. Millennium
polyester/fiberglass-reinforced SBS-modified coal tar membrane is
the industry’s only modified membrane expressly developed to take
advantage of the natural waterproofing properties of coal tar pitch. As a
polymer-modified coal tar pitch solution, Millennium membranes come
with a factory-applied mineral surface that eliminates the need for heavy
aggregate surfacing. During application, the membranes are heat-welded
at the seams to optimize seam integrity. Alternatively, Millennium
systems can be flood-coated and topped with aggregate, or covered
with a reflective coating in the field.

Modified bitumen roofs combine multiple layers of waterproofing with
a membrane cap sheet for added protection. Garland modified bitumen
technology has been engineered … and reengineered … year after year …
to provide superior resistance to tearing, weathering, UV rays, wind,
thermal variations, chemicals, and punctures.
garland offers a full range of application options
Cold-process adhesives frequently out-perform
the adherence properties of conventional hot-
applied systems, and are ideal for applications
where environmental, logistical, or odor and
safety concerns make hot asphalt or torch-applied
techniques impractical.
Self-adhering systems are applied by removing
a release backing from the membrane before
positioning it in place, thereby significantly
reducing installation-related equipment and labor.
They also eliminate the odors associated with
solvents, the fumes associated with hot asphalt,
and the open flames associated with torch systems.
Today’s hot asphalt and coal tar pitch adhesion
solutions can be used in conjunction with fume-
inhibiting technologies to minimize odor and safety
hazards.
Torch application is also available for non-
combustible structures, such as high-rises and
other logistically difficult applications.

3. The base layer of every Garland multi-layer system
consists of High Performance Roofing (HPR®)
underlayments that meet or exceed ASTM standards.
Our underlayments are constructed using various
combinations of polyester and fiberglass to meet specific
performance requirements, such as fire resistance.
4. A high-performance bonding adhesive ensures lasting
interply adhesion, while a final adhesive flood coat
bonds the aggregate to the membrane, as shown here.
5. Each membrane combines layers of fiberglass (with
or without polyester reinforcement) and layers of a
patented modified rubber asphalt or coal tar pitch
specially formulated to meet precise specifications
for tensile strength, low-temperature flexibility, UV-
resistance, and other functional requirements.
6. The surfacing layer (aggregate shown here) is specified
to meet the aesthetic and functional requirements
of every application. No manufacturer offers a more
comprehensive range of surfacing options.

For schools, healthcare facilities, and other

cold-applied rubber-modified asphalt interply
adhesive provides a bond that surpasses hot-
asphalt adhesion. Our popular Black-Knight®
family of high-performance polymer-modified
adhesives (sold as Black-Stallion® in Canada)
reduces most of the hazards associated with
a coal tar application. These adhesives can
be applied hot or cold, and can be used with
modified coal tar systems or as a premium flood
coat with asphalt systems. For applications
prone to excessive wind uplift, the Insul-Lock®
family includes modified urethane adhesives
that meet or exceed wind uplift codes, and
features both low-rise and fast-setting adhesives,
and adhesives that bond with a variety of
insulations and decks without the need for
special application equipment, eliminating the
damage associated with fastener penetrations.
