SOPREMA, Inc. is proud to recognize the selection of the National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas, a project featuring SOPREMA roofing materials, as a Best‑in‑Class Award winner in the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) 2026 Excellence in Asphalt Roofing Awards Program. The project’s roofing contractor, KPost Roofing & Waterproofing, received the honor in the Commercial/Mixed Use Category for their exceptional work on this architecturally significant and nationally meaningful facility.

The National Medal of Honor Museum, designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects, required a roofing solution that delivered long‑term durability while supporting the building’s striking and complex geometry. The project includes multiple elevations, steep and sloped planes, and hundreds of penetrations, requiring close coordination between the architect, general contractor, and KPost Roofing & Waterproofing throughout the installation.

To meet the museum’s performance and design requirements, the project team selected a SOPREMA roofing system incorporating ELASTOPHENE® SP 2.2, SOPRALENE® 180 Sanded, and COLPLY® EF Adhesive for the primary membrane assembly. For the extensive detailing and complex transitions across multiple roof elevations, ALSAN® RS 230 Field and ALSAN® RS 230 Flash provided a seamless, liquid‑applied solution capable of conforming to the building’s unique geometry. Together, these products delivered the long‑term durability, flexibility, and weatherproofing performance needed to protect the structure against the demanding conditions of the Texas climate without compromising the museum’s architectural vision.

“This project reflects excellence not only in construction, but in purpose,” stated Reed Hitchcock, ARMA executive vice president. “KPost Roofing & Waterproofing delivered remarkable work on a building that carries deep national significance.”

“This project is a great example of what’s possible when skilled contractors, thoughtful design, and reliable, high-performance materials come together,” said Tim Kersey, CEO of SOPREMA U.S. “KPost Roofing & Waterproofing delivered an exceptionally complex roofing scope with professionalism and precision, and we’re proud that our systems were complemented by their work on such an important landmark.”

Despite the demanding schedule and the museum’s highly complex architecture, KPost Roofing & Waterproofing executed the project with outstanding precision. The resulting roofing systems enhance both the durability and the visual impact of the museum, supporting the long‑term performance of a building designed to honor American service and sacrifice.

ARMA’s Excellence in Asphalt Roofing Awards Program recognizes the top steep‑ and low‑slope asphalt roofing projects across North America based on four categories: Why Asphalt, Project Challenges, Distinction, and Beauty. The 2026 program received 82 submissions, highlighting innovation and exceptional workmanship across the industry.

The project also earned a Golden Circle Award from the National Roofing Contractors Association last month at the International Roofing Expo in Las Vegas.
