When discussing roofing options with building owners, roofing contractors have a number of viable alternatives available from tearing off and re-roofing to applying a coating maintenance system. In recent years, the shift has been made to finding sustainable options for roofing that not only repair, seal and lengthen the service life of roofs but also offer energy savings to building owners.

Sustainability, energy conservation, environmental responsibility, waste management and the maximized and effective use of natural resources all come into play, and with all the benefits and proven history of coatings systems, it is no wonder property managers and building owners are turning to Karnak Corporation for these options.

To assist roofing contractors, building owners and facility managers in locating products meeting these requirements, the Karnak Corporation has recently introduced its new “KANOPY” product line seal. KANOPY signifies Karnak’s commitment to develop products that protect the environment, save energy and reduce waste. In order for Karnak products to qualify for the KANOPY Seal, they must meet one or more of the following criteria:

• Be lower in VOC content than same category product alternatives in the industry.

• Reduce energy consumption.

• Reduce the Heat Island Effect.

• Reduce waste through sustainability.
