Firestone Building Products Company, LLC, a leading manufacturer and supplier of a comprehensive "Roots to Rooftops" portfolio of products, today introduced Fluid Applied Metal Roofing Systems, a family of products which help extend the life of commercial and industrial metal roofs.
Restore and improve the performance of a metal roof with the Firestone Building Products line of Fluid Applied Metal Roofing Systems.
The products were developed using elastomeric roof coating technology formulated with 100 percent acrylic polymer to offer superior adhesion, water protection and durability.
Firestone Building Products is committed to developing products for sustainable building envelope solutions. The addition of Fluid Applied Metal Roofing Systems, which are ENERGY STAR® approved, demonstrates the commitment to helping commercial and industrial facilities achieve better building performance and efficiency.
