Cool Roof Calculators

In my travels, I have consistently been asked by contractors, reps, distributors and owners how to estimate energy and peak demand savings for flat roofs with non-black surfaces.

Here is a link to one of the best - http://www.ornl.gov/sci/roofs%2Bwalls/facts/CoolCalcPeak.htm

It was Developed by the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Version 2.0) and this version of the calculator is for large facilities that purchase electricity with a demand charge based on peak monthly load. If your customer has a small or medium-sized facility that purchases electricity without a demand charge, run the CoolCalcEnergy version to estimate the savings in energy charges from using solar radiation control.

Both are very easy to use and take into account regional and local vagaries.

FYI and thanks.

Tietex T272 Fabric Sales Opportunity

NEOGARD now has the opportunity to sell Tietex T272 Polyester fabric.  T272 is a 100% stitch-bonded fabric made without the use of adhesives that provides outstanding physical strength, unique elongation, quick wet-out and saturation, and ease of application.

In an attempt to launch this program, Tietex International Ltd. is willing to drop ship orders for us with a minimum 10 roll order.  The spun-bond polyester rolls are 6” x 300’ and guess who the first sales award goes to; Jim Rogers.  Who would of thought?

We are taking this opportunity to build some short-term momentum.  Once we get a handle on stocking requirements, we’ll bring rolls in by the pallet.

Please let your distributors and/or contractors know about this arrangement.  This product is excellent for reinforcing modified bitumen seams on direct bond roofs (required), metal roof horizontal laps, flashings, penetrations and transitions – all using a 3-course assembly of 7419 + Tietex + 7419.  The high build version of 7419 would work best. 

Thanks to Mike Flanigan for working this arrangement with Tietex.  For pricing, give Mike a call at (214) 353-1600 or send him an e-mail at flanigan@neogard.com. 

With the bio-based surface cleaner and now TieTex fabric, we have removed another reason for our applicators and distributors to look elsewhere for accessory products.  What’s next?  Roller covers, jiffy mixers?  Let me know your thoughts.
