Know Your Options – Alternative Product Solutions from Carlisle SynTec Systems
Construction has always been a hectic business, but 2021 is an especially stressful year for those of us in the construction industry. There's plenty of good news – the economy has rebounded much more quickly than most experts anticipated, and demand is through the roof. In addition to all the 2021 projects in the queue, jobs that were paused or postponed in 2020 still need to be completed.
However, this record demand is taking place at the same time as unprecedented shortages of materials, labor, and transportation. The construction industry has been plagued by labor and trucking shortages for years – so these are, unfortunately, familiar problems. But dealing with significant lead times on such a wide variety of building materials is uncharted territory and can make scheduling your project a challenge.
Know your options.
The products most impacted by these shortages are fasteners and plates, polyiso, 2-part low-rise adhesive, EPDM, and TPO. But when it comes to roofing products and systems, Carlisle SynTec Systems prides itself on being a manufacturer with a wide variety of solutions for any project and can offer several alternatives.
Need alternatives for fasteners or adhesive?
Check out Carlisle's VacuSeal™ Vent Secured Roofing System, a vent-ballasted system that harnesses the power of the wind to lock the roof membrane in place. VacuSeal systems eliminate the need for glue, ballast, and all but a handful of fasteners from your project’s assembly.
Carlisle's FleeceBACK® RapidLock (RL™) EPDM, TPO, and PVC systems utilize VELCRO® Brand Securable Solutions to achieve a fully adhered system without the use of adhesives, providing up to 80% labor savings compared to traditional adhered assemblies.
In need of insulation?
Carlisle offers many types of commercial roofing insulation to meet your projects' needs. Consider using expanded polystyrene (EPS) and/or extruded polystyrene (XPS), which are available in addition to polyiso.
Everyone in the industry is working hard to make their customers happy while dealing with many factors that are outside of their control. A commitment to transparency, proactivity, and teamwork will help all of us provide the experience our customers have come to expect as we navigate this challenging environment.
