Roof Umbrella demonstration (Using thermography)

Single shingle example

We inspected with thermography a normal roof during installation.

By using thermography we were able to clearly see the difference in temperature on the installed areas and uninstalled areas.

Example of Roof Umbrella installed on top of thermal barrier coatings

Here is an example of a Roof Umbrella installed onto a roof painted with a thermal barrier coating. The photo below was taken during installation and the thermography image on the left shows the state only 5 minutes after the Roof Umbrella was installed.

Example of the Roof Umbrella installed onto a double layered folded plate roof painted with a thermal barrier coating.

Below is a thermography image of a Roof Umbrella installed on top of a double layered folded plate roof coated with a thermal barrier coating as it is tested for heat resistance. In this example, the overall effect is less than it would be for a full installation as only four sections of Roof Umbrella were used on the whole area, but it nonetheless shows the heat resistant effects of the Roof Umbrella.

In summary

These examples were provided using Sawaya experimental devices to verify the heat resistant effects of thermal barrier coatings and double folded plate roofs etc.
