RamTough KLB-100 roof assemblies combine the flexibility of single-ply with the durable redundancy of built-up roofing (BUR) technology. Formulated with Kraton® SEBS rubber polymer and unoxidized asphalt, this elastomeric, self-healing waterproofing system delivers exceptional fatigue resistance and cold-temperature flexibility. For maximum protection, its four-ply configuration creates an ultra-tough, bulletproof roof.
RamTough KLB-100 roof assemblies offer the elastomeric properties of single ply with the time-proven redundancy and abuse resistance of Built-Up Roofing technology.
RamTough's elastomeric mopping bitumen combines Kraton® SEBS rubber polymer with a highly select grade of unoxidized asphalt, creating a thermoplastic elastomeric mopping material. The rubberized material's web-like molecular structure creates a microscopic elastic network of strong rubberized strands.
During the polymerization process, the network absorbs the bitumen, producing a waterproofing material with excellent self-healing properties, toughness, tenacity, fatigue resistance, and cold-temperature flexibility. Commonly known as the "bullet-proof roof," a four-ply configuration is the toughest roof available and can literally stop a .22-caliber bullet.
The RamTough KLB-100 assembly provides exceptional toughness, puncture/impact resistance, and abuse resistance—combining elastomeric performance with built-up roofing redundancy.
Manufactured to deliver properties far superior to regular oxidized roofing grade asphalt, thanks to Kraton SEBS rubber polymer forming a microscopic elastic network and creating a waterproofing material with high toughness and tenacity.
RamTough KLB-100 is made by combining a highly select grade of unoxidized asphalt (bitumen) with Kraton® SEBS rubber polymer, producing a thermoplastic elastomeric mopping material.
A four-ply configuration is described as the “bullet-proof roof,” and can literally stop a 22-caliber bullet.
The system is warranted up to 25 years.
The success of a roofing & waterproofing system is ultimately reliant upon the accuracy of the installation. Each demo walks through a Barrett system step by step, straight from the crews who install them.
The original project scope of the Baltimore Convention Center called for the replacement of the existing roof membrane due to membrane failure and subsequent leaking into the Convention Center’s main halls below. Once the site was studied, the Barrett Company suggested that the Convention Center take advantage of the opportunity to upgrade the aesthetic and functional qualities of the Terrace with a Greenroof installation.
Belle Square is a dynamic complex integrating four main components: residential, office, retail and parking in the center.
The renovation and improvement of North Burnham Park and the rebuilding of Soldier Field, home to the Chicago Bears, is located on a 96-acre site between the Field Museum and McCormick Place.
A 92-year-old monument surrounded in priceless marble which took 50 years to build presented a unique challenge – and no room for error – for the company tasked with the first skylight and roof replacement project of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., in 1995.
When you think of a big city, often what immediately jumps to mind are skyscrapers, traffic, and your favorite sports team. But many of these big cities are also known to produce a lot of emissions that spread into the atmosphere. One of the biggest culprits of this growing problem—Chicago.
Salesforce Transit Center is a landmark for the San Francisco Bay Area. This striking, innovative, and sustainable multi-story building transforms a transportation hub into an urban experience, complete with a gondola, and topped off by a 5.4-acre rooftop park open to the sky.
In 2011, the D.C. Public Library began plans for the modernization of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. The original vision for the Washington, D.C. landmark, designed by modern master Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, used transparency and light as metaphors for freedom and knowledge, the very principles of Dr. King’s life teachings. More than 40 years later, the team at OTJ Architects was selected to helm the transformation of Washington’s Central Public Library.
In 2005, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) adopted a new objective— To evaluate & measure the operational energy conservation of its Virginia Square facility and identify opportunities to further conserve energy and reduce utility costs.
Can you imagine the weight of about 125 semi-trucks, but in gold? Approximately, 10 million pounds, or $236.4 billion, of gold is held at the Fort Knox Bullion Depository, also known as the “gold vault,” in Fort Knox, Kentucky. The vault holds more than half of the gold reserves of the United States making the protection of the contents of the vault a top priority for the contractors and architects tasked with reroofing it.
After evaluating the roof of their 240,000 sq/ft facilities building, the management team at LinkBelt Construction Equipment did just that. Thanks to Barrett’s Ram Cold Tar® Plus roof restoration & repair system & Ram Ultra-Silver® reflective aluminum finish, the result was a new, fully detailed, watertight roofing system that saved the company time, money, and energy.
