Keep Your Cool: Self-adhered Membranes from Polyglass Can Be Applied in Cold Weather

By Polyglass. 

Polyglass’s newly developed Elastoflex SA V Polar Base™ and Elastoflex SA P Polar Cap™ makes roofing in colder conditions possible. 

The Elastoflex SA V Polar Base™ and Elastoflex SA P Polar Cap™ products lengthens the roofing season and helps you save on work costs. Adding to Polyglass’s line of self-adhered products, these new membranes are resilient enough to allow installation in temperatures as low as 25°F and up to 60°F (-4°C – 16°C). Designed to be a lasting material, the Elastoflex SA V Polar Base is fiberglass-reinforced for stability and the Elastoflex SA P Polar Cap is polyester-reinforced to protect from tears or punctures. 

Manufactured with ADESO® Dual-Compound Self-Adhered Technology, these premium membranes provide a cleaner installation, improve application speed and eliminate the need for torches. Both base and cap sheets use an SBS (elastomeric) formulation on the top weathering side of the reinforcement and an aggressive self-adhesive formulation on the bottom side. 

The products have unique qualities that improve efficiency and performance. Elastoflex SA V Polar Base is finished with laylines for ease of application. Elastoflex SA P Polar Cap features patent pending SEALLap® Ultra and patented FASTLap® for immediate and more effective bonding of side and endlap seams. 

“We are excited to introduce roofing solutions that may extend the roofing season,” says Polyglass CEO Natalino Zanchetta. “We continue to focus on innovation and providing products that make roofing in challenging weather conditions possible.”
