COMPARE HAWAIIAN SUNGUARD TO ANY OTHER ROOF COATING
 
While there are some good waterproof roof coatings on the market today, we would like to humbly submit that our Hawaiian SunGuard should be placed at the very top tier of the quality pyramid. Do any other coating that you may be considering have these qualities?


Does it contain the amazing Lipacryl (R) additive from Rohm and Haas that helps prevent water-based coatings from peeling up when they are exposed to standing water on the roof?

Can your coating do this?
We took an oridinary cardboard shoebox, coated it with our full fabric reinforced HSG system, and then filled it with water in February 2006. It's still holding strong. Need proof? Visit out showroom at 35 Kainehe St. in Kailua and see for yourself.
In the past, we have seen many water-based coatings that weather well in the sun but that break down quickly when saturated with water. Follow our simple instructions for protecting these “ponding areas” with our CoolFab reinforcing fabric and your roof will last much longer. If you think your roof has excessive ponding water, let us examine it free of charge to see if our system is right for you.


Does it contain highly reflective ‘White Titanium’, which repels the suns ultra violet rays?
Don’t settle for less expensive ‘Yellow Titanium’ which isn’t as reflective or durable, and can turn yellow over time. ‘White Titanium’ costs more, but it’s worth it.

Does it contain ceramic microspheres that have similar heat reflective properties as the tiles on the space shuttle?
Ceramic coatings that insulate were developed by NASA to combat the 2300 degree temperatures that the space shuttle experiences during reentry. The micro-spheres are hollow, and all gas has been removed, which creates a vacuum. In effect, they act as miniature thermos bottles. The ceramic composition enables the micro-spheres to block heat radiation and dissipate heat rapidly, preventing heat transfer through the coating.

Does it contain the same high quality ingredients through out the entire system, or does it have a cheaper base coat with only the premium coating on the surface? If so, then what happens when the topcoat eventually wears off and the cheaper coating (which is often a different color) is exposed?
Hawaiian SunGuard uses the same high quality throughout the entire system. It makes it easier to apply and you don’t end up with unused buckets of a different color and quality.

Can it be tinted to a variety of beautiful colors free of charge?
While we love the look of a bright reflective white roof, there are many situations where a colored coating is desirable. This is especially true if you are on a second story and the glare from below may interfere with your beautiful, million dollar view. Or if you have a conventional asphalt shingle roof and want to blend in with the neighborhood. No problem! You will find that the glare can be cut by using any of our recommended light and medium colors from our color chart. We will tint to these beautiful pastel colors for free so as to encourage you not to go too dark. Why? Because the darker you go the more heat will be drawn into the system and into your home. If you want to custom tint to darker colors, we will be happy to do that for an additional charge.

Does it have a strong reinforcing fabric that allows the coating to expand and contract without cracking?
If we were to name one of the most important ingredients in any coating system, it would be the reinforcing fabric. Our CoolFab is a heavy duty polyester fabric that makes for a very durable, stretchable waterproofing system. For the longest lasting roof, we strongly recommend that the entire surface be reinforced with the 40” fabric and then coated with 4 to 5 gallons per 100 Sq. Ft. of Hawaiian SunGuard. This is our Full Fabric Renewable Roof. It may be the last roof you will ever need. Simply recoat with a topcoat every 7 to 15 years, as needed, using only a fraction of the original material.

Does it come with an experienced applicator who will deliver the material to your site and advise you on how to put it down—free of charge?
With a minimum order of 5 buckets on Oahu, we do just that. By the way, closely examine our representatives. They aren’t your average salesperson. They usually have our coating stuck under their fingernails and on their clothes. They may not be the best dressers, but they get down on their hands and knees and work with our coating day in and day out. They know their stuff. Neighbor islands, call us Toll Free at (877) 605-COOL for details on our free shipping offer to you.

Are long leak-free warranties available when installed by approved applicators?

The Standard Limited Leak-Free Warranty for a Full Fabric Renewable Roof is 7 years for qualifying roofs when installed by an Approved Licensed Contractor. This is the legal limit that any Contractor is allowed to Warranty their work under Hawaii State Law. This law was passed years ago under the assumption that many roofers could not honor the 20 to 50 year Warranties which were popular at the time.

However, the State does allow Product Manufacturers to issue longer warranties. If you have a residential or commercial building of 3,000 Sq. Ft. or larger you may qualify for the Manufacturer’s 10 Year Limited Labor and Material Warranty. There is an additional expense paid to have the Manufacturer’s inspectors come out to your jobsite and carefully inspect the application. This is a popular option for many homes and businesses. Please call us at (808) 262-ROOF for details.
