The existing TPO roofing system at the West Palm Beach Police Station has undergone a full-scale restoration utilizing a high-performance 100% Everest silicone coating system, enhanced with ceramic granules to deliver superior durability, solar reflectivity, and long-term weather resistance.

Surface Preparation

Prior to the application of any new materials, the entire roof surface was thoroughly power washed to remove accumulated dirt, grease, biological growth, and other environmental contaminants. This essential step restored the membrane to a clean, sound condition and ensured optimal adhesion of the new silicone coating. Special attention was given to high-traffic areas and zones with historical drainage concerns to guarantee uniform substrate readiness.

Seam and Drainage Reinforcement

All existing TPO seams were carefully inspected and resealed using 100% Everest silicone to restore watertight integrity at all transition points and overlaps. This process addressed any potential vulnerabilities in the original membrane system. In parallel, all roof drains, scuppers, and associated drainage components were cleaned, evaluated, and resealed to ensure unobstructed water flow and eliminate the risk of ponding or backflow during heavy rainfall events.

Silicone Coating Application

Following the completion of all preparatory and reinforcement work, the Everest silicone coating was applied in a uniform, controlled manner across the entire roof field, including parapet walls and vertical transitions. The coating was installed to the manufacturer’s specified mil thickness, forming a seamless, monolithic barrier that encapsulates the existing TPO membrane. The embedded ceramic granules provide added protection against UV degradation, thermal cycling, and mechanical wear, while also contributing to energy efficiency through enhanced solar reflectivity.

Warranty Coverage

This restoration system is protected by a 10-Year No Dollar Limit (NDL) Weathertight Warranty, which guarantees full coverage against leaks, material defects, and system failure for the duration of the term. The NDL designation ensures that the warranty is not prorated and is not limited by the size of the repair or replacement cost, offering the building owner maximum protection and peace of mind.

This project was completed in accordance with industry best practices and manufacturer specifications, ensuring compliance with applicable codes and long-term performance expectations. The restored roof system now offers a renewed service life, reduced maintenance burden, and enhanced protection for the facility’s critical operations.
