Introducing Acrylabs: The Future of Liquid Applied Roofing

In roofing, durability, efficiency, and sustainability are critical factors in choosing the right system. Traditional roofing materials—such as modified bitumen, single-ply membranes, and built-up roofing—often come with seams, fasteners, and adhesives that create weak points over time. These vulnerabilities lead to leaks, costly repairs, and, eventually, full roof replacements.

Acrylabs is changing the game with seamless, flexible, and renewable liquid-applied roof membrane systems. Designed to outperform conventional materials, Acrylabs’ roofing solutions offer long-term waterproofing, energy efficiency, and environmental safety, making them a smarter choice for both new construction and existing buildings.

Seamless & Self-Flashing: A Roofing System Without Weak Points

The biggest weaknesses in traditional roofing systems can be found in the seams, flashings, and penetration points, where leaks and failures most commonly occur. Acrylabs eliminates this concern with its 100% seamless liquid-applied roofing membrane. Unlike conventional systems that require additional flashing materials, adhesives, or mechanical fasteners, Acrylabs’ solution is self-flashing—meaning it molds and adheres directly to the existing roof surface, including difficult areas like parapet walls, HVAC penetrations, and curbs.

This seamless technology ensures that every inch of the roof is uniformly covered with a monolithic, watertight membrane, reducing maintenance costs and extending the life of the roof. The ability to apply the system over a variety of surfaces, including EPDM, metal, modified bitumen, and even aged roofs, makes it one of the most versatile roofing solutions available.

Flexible & Renewable: Built to Adapt and Last

Roofs endure constant environmental stress, from scorching summer heat to freezing winter temperatures. Many conventional materials struggle with thermal expansion and contraction, leading to cracks, splits, and eventual failure. Acrylabs’ flexible acrylic membrane is designed to move with the building, ensuring long-term durability and performance.

Another major advantage of Acrylabs’ roofing system is its renewability. Unlike traditional roofs that require costly tear-offs and replacements, Acrylabs membranes can be easily refreshed every ten years with a simple re-coating. This process extends the life of the roof indefinitely, reduces landfill waste, and keeps maintenance costs low. Instead of investing in expensive tear-offs and reinstallation, building owners can simply maintain and renew their Acrylabs roof for decades.

Waterproofing Protection: More Than Just a Coating

Not all liquid roofing solutions are created equal. Many people confuse liquid coatings with liquid membranes, but the difference is significant.

Traditional liquid coatings are often applied as a thin protective layer (10-20 mils) to provide reflectivity and UV protection, but they lack true waterproofing capabilities. These coatings are not designed to withstand long-term ponding water, and over time, they break down, exposing the underlying roofing material to leaks and damage.

Acrylabs, on the other hand, offers a fully reinforced liquid membrane system that provides long-term waterproofing. This system consists of multiple layers of high-performance acrylic coatings with an embedded fabric reinforcement, creating a durable 45-mil composite membrane. Unlike coatings, which only provide surface-level protection, Acrylabs’ liquid membrane forms a true waterproof barrier, offering a manufacturer’s warranty against water intrusion.

Energy Efficient & Environmentally Safe: A Smarter Choice for Buildings

Beyond waterproofing, Acrylabs’ liquid roofing systems also help improve building energy efficiency. The highly reflective, UV-resistant finish of Acrylabs’ membranes reduces heat absorption, keeping buildings significantly cooler. This can lead to lower air conditioning costs, decreased energy consumption, and a more comfortable indoor environment—especially in regions with high temperatures and prolonged sun exposure.

Additionally, all Acrylabs products are waterborne, meaning they are free from harmful solvents, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and toxic chemicals. This makes them safer for applicators, building occupants, and the environment. As businesses and property owners continue to prioritize sustainability, choosing a low-impact, energy-efficient roofing solution like Acrylabs can contribute to LEED certification points and other environmental initiatives.
