Garla-Brite is a non-fibered, asphalt-based aluminum roof paint. It provides an exceptionally bright finish with excellent covering power. Garla-Brite preserves, beautifies, and provides a reflective shield over old and new roof systems, including metal roofs. It can also be used over other surfaces requiring protection from heat, solar radiation, rust, and corrosion. Garla-Brite meets and exceeds ASTM D 2824 Type I.

Method | Description |
---|---|
Roller | The existing roof surface must be completely dry and void of any dirt, debris, or foreign materials. Mix Garla-Brite for two minutes with an electric power drill and Jiffy mixer blade to thoroughly blend the product. Remixing is necessary every 15 minutes if the bucket's contents are unused. For surfacing modified bitumen roofs or smooth BUR, grid out the area on the roof that correlates with Garla-Brite’s specified coverage rate for one pail of material. Pour out Garla-Brite from the pail and immediately roll the product into the marked area with a 1/4” nap smooth roller. Do not overwork material and finish strokes in the same direction for a uniform appearance. For metal surfaces, pouring the coating and spreading with a roller is not recommended. Rather, the coating can be applied by dipping the roller into a tray or trough and rolling it onto the metal. |

Benefits | Garla-Brite Product Benefits |
A Garla-Brite application reduces under-roof temperature by 15 degrees or more. As a result, the workload on the building's air conditioning system is reduced by as much as one ton per 1,500 ft. (139 m2) so proper interior temperatures can be maintained at a lower cost.
Garla-Brite's aluminum finish reflects the sun's UV rays and reduces their damaging effects on the roof surface. Two coats form a long-lasting metallic shield that preserves and protects the roof surface and system below. The roof lasts longer and requires less maintenance.
Garla-Brite is formulated to provide maximum per-gallon coverage-one gallon ( 3.8 liters) of the standard fibered aluminum coating. Garla-Brite is the ideal top coat for any of Garland's HPR roofing systems. The second coat should be placed perpendicular to the first coat.
