Re-roofing with FleeceBACK

When writing re-roofing specifications, it's helpful to have a go-to solution that can be installed over a variety of existing roof systems. Carlisle's FleeceBACK® EPDM, TPO, PVC, and KEE HP membranes offer unmatched versatility when it comes to re-roofing.

FleeceBACK makes it easier for you to specify re-roofing projects because the existing roof can be left in place. This is also a benefit for occupied buildings because occupants won't be disturbed by a noisy tear-off operation. In many FleeceBACK systems, the membrane can be adhered directly to the existing roof with Flexible FAST™, a two-part polyurethane adhesive. Flexible FAST Adhesive creates a 'mechanical bond' between the membrane's fleece backing and the existing roof system. Flexible FAST allows for quicker, quieter installation, has no VOCs, and provides excellent wind uplift performance.

FleeceBACK can be installed over a wide variety of existing roof systems. This versatility allows you to use a FleeceBACK membrane to recover nearly every type of roof, including:
Single-ply membranes – EPDM, TPO, PVC, and KEE HP
Modified asphalt roof systems – Smooth or granular built-up, smooth or granular modified bitumen, or aluminum-coated built-up 

Carlisle's Guide Specifications can help you design and specify systems with FleeceBACK membranes installed directly over top of the existing roof. These guide specs are in addition to the main FleeceBACK Specification and focus more on re-roofing projects.
