Restoring History with Acrylabs Aged Copper Finish Coat

When it comes to preserving the beauty and performance of historic architecture, every detail matters. Acrylabs recently completed a project that demonstrates the transformative power of our Acrylabs Liquid Applied Roof Membrane (A.L.A.R.M.) System on a challenging and iconic metal roof. The building’s unique design required not only a durable waterproofing solution but also a finish that honored its original aesthetic. Acrylabs delivered both, combining modern protection with timeless appeal.

From Weathered to Renewed

The “before” image tells the story: the roof was aged and weathered, still structurally sound but clearly showing the effects of time, sunlight, and exposure. Left untreated, this deterioration could have accelerated, leading to leaks, costly structural repairs, or even premature replacement.

During the restoration process, our certified installation team carefully prepared the surface, applied the Acrylabs Base Coat in Base Gray, and reinforced critical seams with our embedded fabric system. This created a seamless, fully adhered foundation that locks out water and resists long-term wear.

To complete the transformation, the roof was finished with the Acrylabs Finish Coat in Aged Copper. This color was chosen to complement the building’s historic design while providing the protective advantages of a modern waterproofing system.

The Acrylabs Difference

This project showcases why architects, contractors, and building owners choose Acrylabs for restoration work:

• Superior Adhesion – Engineered to bond directly with metal substrates for a long-lasting membrane.

• Durable Protection – Flexible, seamless waterproofing that withstands expansion, contraction, and environmental stress.

• Architectural Appeal – The Aged Copper finish restored vibrancy while maintaining the roof’s traditional look.

• Waterproofing Assurance – Extends service life by protecting against leaks and costly water intrusion.

The finished roof blends restored appearance with the strength and durability to protect for generations.
