OUR PRODUCTS

We make use of a variety of industry standard products, including Torch on, Poly Eurethane, Palram Polycarbonate sheeting, steel sheeting, paint and most importantly, Toms Washer System.

The company specializes in the installation of Toms Washer waterproofing system. This system was designed to replace the traditional Acrylic Membrane waterproofing system.

Steel roof sheets expand and contract every day due to temperature changes. This movement in the roof sheets along the structure causes the bolt to slowly work loose. Once the seal between the washer and the roof sheet is broken, the washer will begin to leak.

Every waterproofing system developed for steel roof sheet installations have one thing in common. They are designed to be a patch over the existing washer and bolt. No one has thought to redesign the washer itself to solve this inherent problem.

Toms Washer System is a redesign of the current washer. This redesign has allowed us to use materials that are more suitable to our weather conditions, as well as solving the problems inherent with the existing system. The result is a washer that has a life span in excess of 15 years, as apposed to the 18 to 36 month lifespan of acrylic systems. Toms Washer is also far less maintenance intensive than the existing systems
