Legends Bar & Grille which is the showcase restaurant for Comfort Inn & Suites in Niagara Falls, NY had a black EPDM rubber roof that was leaking into the dining area and was very hot in the summer due to the color of the roof.

The roof was pressure washed, primed with a two-part epoxy primer, all seams were re-sealed with a fibrated silicone liquid seam sealer, and then coated with 22 mils of 96% solids white silicone elastomeric roof coating.

The initial temperature reading of the roof surface temperature on a sunny 80 degree day was 193 deg. F.  After the coating was applied, the temperature of the roof surface was 96 deg. F, almost a 100 degree temperature drop.  The management of the restaurant noticed the reduced transference of heat to the interior of the establishment almost immediately.

The owner and restaurant management are very pleased with the completed roofing as the restaurant is now leak-free and is considerably cooler.
