<h2>Tremco sets a higher standard with POWERply&reg; Endure&reg; BIO Adhesive.&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Meet the high-performing adhesive designed to work with the trickiest of schedules and weather conditions, POWERply&reg; Endure&reg; BIO Adhesive. This unique two-part BIO-based adhesive delivers durability against the elements in an impressively short cure time. POWERply Endure membranes improve rooftop protection, making roof systemstough and able to last for decades in any kind of weather.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The environmentally friendly 71% USDA biobased formula adds strength and durability to your roof system, by providing 32 mils of urethane waterproofing with each layer.The quick cure time and unprecedented strong bond of POWERply Endure is what separates it from other cold-applied systems. This formula cures in less than four hours, creating a weather-tight bond that can withstand hurricane-force winds. Contractors and building owners alike can have peace of mind knowing that the building is protected.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This adhesive is sprayable, making for a more efficient application and cutting installation time in half. Further, POWERply Endure BIO Adhesive has an undetectable odor, allowing for jobsites like hospitals, schools or business to stay open throughout installation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The POWERply Endure membrane is an asphalt/rubber blend which gives it a better high-temperature resistance while all other key properties, such as low-temperature flexibility, are not adversely affected. Because of this, the POWERply Endure membrane will be &ldquo;firmer&rdquo; under foot, resist marring from foot traffic better, hold the granules longer, all of which result in less wear and tear. Because of this, POWERply Endure MB is better able to resist the effects of long-term weathering.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The combination of POWERply Endure BIO Adhesive and <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/tremco" target="_blank">Tremco</a>&rsquo;s Endure modified-bitumen membranes make for one of the highest quality MB roof systems on the market today. Tremco is changing the way modified-bitumen roof systems perform, outlast and redefine the industry.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>The Canadian team from Weatherproofing Technologies Incorporated shares safety initiatives that help building owners.&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Our first <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/webinar/weatherproofing-technology-canada-shines-with-safety" target="_blank">Lunch &amp; Learn</a> is here! The new educational series from RoofersCoffeeShop&reg; is designed to bring learning opportunities to those who work on the inside team of roofing companies. Whether you&rsquo;re talking to customers, giving estimations or buying roofing products for your crew, this series is for you! For our first Lunch &amp; Learn, RCS President Heidi J. Ellsworth hears from David Gardiner and Tiffany Newman from the Canadian team of <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/wti-weatherproofing-technologies-incorporated" target="_blank">Weatherproofing Technologies Inc.,</a> part of the <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/tremco" target="_blank">Tremco Construction Products Group</a> family.&nbsp;</p>

<p>WTI has successfully made a presence internationally with their division in Canada. David leads the team there with support from Tiffany, and with their combined 36 years of experience, they are already making quite an impact. In this Lunch &amp; Learn, they discuss several topics that are useful for those who want to expand their roofing company and have better safety practices in place.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Lunch &amp; Learn covers three main objectives:&nbsp;</p>

<ul>
	<li>
	<p>Part 1 - Handling company expansion&nbsp;</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>Part 2 - Navigating jobsite challenges&nbsp;</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>Part 3 - Adding safety solutions to your business&nbsp;</p>
	</li>
</ul>

<p>David and Tiffany give great advice based on their own experience of expanding WTI in Canada. One of the topics they touch on is how finding the right people to hire makes all the difference. &ldquo;Communication was one of the biggest things we were looking for,&rdquo; David says. &ldquo;Somebody that can do the work, that&rsquo;s all fine and dandy. But if they&rsquo;re not properly communicating that it is done...that&rsquo;s always going to lead to issues.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>They also go into detail about the line of safety solutions Tremco and WTI offer, including the ways they help building owners inspect their roofs safely. Tiffany discusses how their team does a lot of work educating building owners and operators on how to inspect their roof safely. She states these inspections often get overlooked because &ldquo;sometimes unfortunately the roof is the last thing people think of because people don&rsquo;t generally see it too often.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Grab your lunch and watch the newest Lunch &amp; Learn. The short, 15-minute video offers a lot of valuable information for those who want to grow their business. We also have a <a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/uploads/media/2022/01/rcs-lunch-learn-handout-tremco.pdf" target="_blank">free learning guide</a> to encourage discussion about the topics of the video.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Why it is so important to invest in and support your employees with ongoing training.&nbsp;</h2>

<p>In&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/podcast/tom-biller-labor-shortage-and-the-importance-of-training" target="_blank">Season 3, Episode 42</a>&nbsp;of Roofing Road Trips, Heidi J. Ellsworth visits with Tom Biller of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/tremco" target="_blank">Tremco Roofing</a>&nbsp;about how employee and contractor retention factor into the labor shortage. The two discuss the overall importance of strong onboarding training for employees.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tom has been with Tremco since he graduated college 28 years ago. He now works as the training manager for Tremco&rsquo;s Roofing and Building Maintenance division. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve worn a lot of different hats in my career with Tremco, [but] I really found my place here in the training department,&rdquo; says Tom.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tom tells Heidi about the ongoing training that Tremco provides for contractors, sales representatives, the design community, and more with regards to roofing products, systems and installation. Every employee hired by Tremco is trained on all aspects of the roofing industry, a testament to the way that Tremco invests in their employees.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;When you join Tremco, you&#39;ll get an opportunity to come through one of our Roofing 101 classes, and that&#39;s where we introduce people who aren&#39;t familiar with the roofing industry to basic roofing concepts, and then of course to the Tremco solutions,&rdquo; says Tom.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tremco&rsquo;s training programs are extensive. For contractors, Tremco can provide hands-on trainings for their products, which can be conducted for entire crews. Tremco Contractor Support Specialists can even join contractors in the field and provide direct instruction while on the roof.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;We certainly feel that when you properly train an employee, they feel confident, they feel empowered to do their job and they want to learn more,&rdquo; says Tom. &ldquo;Training people properly to do their jobs, training people to advance in the company, really is key to retaining good people.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Hear what Mardee Billingsley has to say about working at Tremco and WTI&nbsp;(Weatherproofing Technologies Incorporated)&nbsp;for over 25 years.&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Mardee Billingsley&nbsp;is the executive vice president of Elevate, a program through&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/wti-weatherproofing-technologies-incorporated" target="_blank">Tremco WTI</a>, the service&nbsp;subsidiary&nbsp;of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rooferscoffeeshop.com/directory/tremco" target="_blank">Tremco Roofing and Building Products</a>.&nbsp;Mardee has been with Tremco for 25 years&nbsp;and while she did not grow up wanting to be in roofing and construction, she soon discovered some amazing opportunities working with a sales representative from Tremco, and never looked back.</p>

<p>&ldquo;[I&rsquo;ve been]&nbsp;a construction manager, national operations manager and so on.&nbsp;I have managed and been a part of&nbsp;over a billion&nbsp;dollars&#39; worth&nbsp;of construction projects myself and I can safely say that I&rsquo;ve made friends with some of the best people in the business,&rdquo; said Mardee&nbsp;in&nbsp;<a href="https://youtu.be/kUDCxBTsn3o" target="_blank">this video</a>&nbsp;documenting employee&nbsp;testimonials. &ldquo;This organization has&nbsp;provided&nbsp;me the opportunity to travel worldwide, grow personally and professionally and care for my family, which it will for you. I share my story of happens chance, because&nbsp;I&rsquo;m&nbsp;proud to be in this industry and after 25 years can also say&nbsp;I&rsquo;m&nbsp;proud to work for this organization.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tremco has over 700 field employees and operates in the U.S., Canada and has recently expanded into the United Kingdom. Tremco manufactures all kinds of products for commercial roofing including hot asphalt roofing, cold process roofing which includes adhesives and felts, coatings and most recently fluid roofing.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tremco itself is a subsidiary of RPM International, which is an American, multinational company, with subsidiaries that manufacture and market specialty coatings, sealants and building materials to both industrial and consumer markets. Some of their more common brands include Rust-Oleum and Drivet.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&ldquo;You will find Tremco and WTI to be as committed to your success as you&nbsp;are.&nbsp;This organization is the true meaning of family and taking care of one another;&nbsp;you will hear story after story of opportunity, helping hands and even tough love,&rdquo; said Mardee. &ldquo;People say construction,&nbsp;and even more so&nbsp;roofing,&nbsp;can be an industry&nbsp;that comes with a stigma of less than desirable. Fortunately, those people&nbsp;aren&rsquo;t&nbsp;in our organization and&nbsp;don&rsquo;t&nbsp;see the&nbsp;great things&nbsp;that we are doing to better people and our communities.&nbsp;Tremco&rsquo;s philosophy is not to simply replace roofs, but extend their useful life.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tremco Roofing&rsquo;s&nbsp;BURmastic&nbsp;systems have become a standard in the roofing industry. This system can be surfaced with gravel, marble chips or any approved coating system.&nbsp;With&nbsp;its multi-ply construction, the&nbsp;BURmastic&nbsp;roofing system is incredibly durable, waterproof and can be installed in cold process adhesive.&nbsp;</p>

<h3>3 &ndash;&nbsp;THERMastic&reg; Built-Up Roofing (BUR) and Hot&nbsp;POWERply&reg; Modified Bitumen (MB) Systems&nbsp;</h3>

<p>The watertight and highly durable&nbsp;THERMastic&nbsp;built-up roofing systems and hot&nbsp;POWERply&nbsp;roofing systems are made of multiple plies adhered with high quality, enhanced&nbsp;THERMastic&nbsp;hot-melt adhesive. This intricate system is nothing like a typical mopping asphalt, as Hot&nbsp;POWERply&nbsp;systems are comprised of two or more modified bitumen plies, which are adhered within the&nbsp;THERMastic&nbsp;adhesive.&nbsp;</p>

<h3>4 &ndash;&nbsp;PowerFAST&nbsp;Modified Bitumen (MB) System&nbsp;</h3>

<p>The&nbsp;PowerFAST&nbsp;Modified Bitumen (MB) System includes a&nbsp;<a href="https://info.tremcoroofing.com/powerply">POWERply</a>&nbsp;cap sheet membrane adhered to a high-performance&nbsp;POWERply&nbsp;anchor membrane, which is mechanically attached directly to the deck surface. This thoughtful design allows the&nbsp;PowerFAST&nbsp;roof system to create a quick, watertight and wind uplift-resistant seal.&nbsp;</p>

<h3>5 &ndash; Heat-Welded Modified Bitumen (MB) System&nbsp;</h3>

<p>Part of the&nbsp;POWERply&reg; line, this heat welded mod-bit system incorporates two or three MB sheets and is installed on the roof without adhesives. During installation, the base membrane is welded to a coverboard or cap sheet using a propane torch or hot air welding equipment. All other remaining parts of the roofing system, like insulation or a coverboard, can be adhered using hot asphalt, low-rise foam&nbsp;or mechanical fasteners.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h3>6 &ndash; Tremco Single Ply Roofing Systems&nbsp;</h3>

<p>TremPly&nbsp;KEE,&nbsp;TremPly&nbsp;TPO,&nbsp;TremPly&nbsp;Max TPO&nbsp;and&nbsp;TPA systems all feature white, reflective surfaces&nbsp;and&nbsp;are great for all kinds of commercial roofs. They are lightweight but strong&nbsp;and&nbsp;resistant to pollutants. All single ply roofing systems have thermoplastic membranes&nbsp;and&nbsp;heat-welded seams, which eliminates the need for adhesives or tapes.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h3>7 &ndash;&nbsp;AlphaGuard&trade; PUMA Liquid Applied Roofing Systems&nbsp;</h3>

<p>Restore or replace your roof with the durable, two-coat&nbsp;AlphaGuard&nbsp;PUMA&nbsp;(Modified Polyurethane/Methyl Methacrylate)&nbsp;Liquid Applied Roofing System. If you must work in temperatures as low as -20&deg;F (-28&deg;C),&nbsp;AlphaGuard&nbsp;is the choice for you. It delivers waterproofing performance in as little as 30 minutes and can be walked on in one to two hours after installation. This system offers benefits at any time but thrives in the cold.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
