Reinforced Hybrid Roof System
A fully-reinforced liquid membrane assembly that embeds full-coverage reinforcement across the field for added strength on high-movement or demanding roofs.
Is this the right assembly?
- The roof experiences significant movement or stress
- A robust, fully-reinforced membrane is specified
- Complex geometry benefits from consistent film build
- Long-term durability is prioritized over lowest cost
These are indicators, not a specification. Suitability is confirmed by a project review.

What we assess first
- Movement and stress in the assembly
- Deck soundness and moisture
- Existing coatings and compatibility
- Detailing complexity
- Clean and repair the substrate
- Confirm adhesion by testing
- Prime to match the substrate
- Plan reinforcement layout and overlaps
- Reinforcement overlaps and terminations
- Penetrations and curbs
- Movement joints
- Edge and drain details
How it goes together
Prepare & prime
Clean, repair and prime the deck.
Base membrane
Apply the base pass to receive reinforcement.
Embed reinforcement
Lay and fully wet-out the reinforcement across the field.
Encapsulate & finish
Apply the second pass and finish coat.
What it delivers
- High tensile strength and crack-bridging
- Consistent, monitored film build
- Robust on high-movement assemblies
Where to take care
- More labour-intensive than unreinforced coatings
- Weather-dependent application
- Requires careful reinforcement detailing
- Apply within the specified temperature and humidity
- Protect from rain until cured
- Observe recoat windows
- Reinforcement fully wetted out with no voids
- Overlaps and terminations inspected
- Film build verified
- Final continuity inspection
Backed when specified & installed correctly
Warranty coverage for this system depends on specifying it appropriately for the conditions, installation by a qualified installer, and a registered project. Coverage terms are defined by the applicable warranty document.
