A Commitment to a Sustainable Solution
SCSU staff architect Michael Tucker worked with local Garland representative, Gordon Rossi, to find the perfect solution to suit the unique needs of this 8,500-square-foot roof. Crews from Gold Seal Roofing replaced the entire roof using Garland’s StressPly® Plus FR Mineral cap sheet – a high performance modified membrane manufactured with recycled materials. Gold Seal contractors worked efficiently and were very conscious of students on campus. To meet concerns of sustainability, the StressPly Plus was installed in Garland’s Green-Lock® cold-applied, zero VOC membrane adhesive.
While SCSU has installed Garland systems in the past, they had not used the Green-Lock system before. But SCSU’s commitment to finding sustainable solutions made the solvent-free product an attractive option. Green-Lock’s zero VOC chemistry eliminates the release of hazardous pollutants into the environment. “Although it was slightly more expensive, we really like the zero VOC option and we are confident it’s a good product. Gordon was very helpful; he was on site to make sure everything was going properly,” Tucker said.
