Build a better roof system with TopSpec coatings

By Emma Peterson. 

How SRS and TopShield support contractors with the TopSpec fluid-applied roof systems. 

The coatings and fluid-applied roofing market is rapidly growing as building owners and managers look for more sustainable and economical solutions to aging roofs. This makes it an attractive opportunity for roofing contractors who are looking for ways to expand their offerings and grow their businesses. But from primers to topcoats and digital tools to on-site application training, there’s a lot to learn about the market before you can start restoring roofs with coatings. In an upcoming CoatingsTalk, Heidi J. Ellsworth sits down with Rick Rominger of SRS Distribution to explore the ways contractors can get the support they need to expand into coatings and the types of systems out there. 

Rick is the senior director of private label for SRS and brings a wealth of knowledge to the table, including business development, global supply chain management, new product development, market launch strategies and competitive pricing analysis. In this episode, we lean on his expertise through discussions of the support contractors can get from SRS and RoofHub when they use TopShield's TopSpec coatings. This support comes in many forms including access to knowledgeable reps with installation expertise, streamlined project management through mobile RoofHub interface and easy material sourcing.  

Further, Rick will dive into a few of the different products that are provided in the TopSpec line, including their 501 Bonding Primer, 509 Bleed-Block, 701 silicone coating and 2100 acrylic topcoat. Not only will he share the benefits of each of these products as individuals, but he will also explain how these products work together to create a fluid-applied system that allows for seamless, high-performance solutions customized per roof type.
