Re: roof replacements - feedback needed
The recreational vehicle (RV) industry in the United States has been enjoying solid growth as baby-boomers swell the quantity of potential buyers. Rapid growth lead to faster production schedules for RV, campers, Fifth Wheels and trailers. In the case of some manufacturers, fewer resources are applied to ensuring long term waterproofing of the approximately 200 sq. ft roof. After a few years of exposure to sunlight and the elements, many owners reported leaks and internal damage to their insurance companies. Every month, private owners come to San Diego RV Center with leaking rubber and fiberglass roofs. Traditional repair materials like Dicor® rubber or sheet plastics require renewed UV protection every two years and they generally fail or they have an undesirable appearance within eight years. The owners of San Diego RV Center heard about the Rhino Linings’™ reputation with sealing and protecting pick-up trucks from corrosion and degradation. Rhino seemed to be a natural fit. Rhino Linings offered San Diego RV Centers EcoCoat™, a spray applied 100% solids polyurea. This aluminum pigments coating is seamless and forms a long term barrier against water intrusion and degradation. In the production process, the existing and failing rubber roof of the vehicle is stripped down to the existing plywood roof. At this point any seams and large gaps are filled, while any previous adhesives on the wood are removed and sanded down.After all of the wood, and various surfaces are properly sanded and prepped, and masked, the entire area is primed with special primers, and then sprayed with EcoCoat™. The new monolithic polyurea coating forms a tight seal around all the protrusions, gaps and bolts preventing water leakage, and UV sunlight degradation while giving a desirable silver aluminum like finish. From start to finish, San Diego RV Center can have an owners RV repairs and ready for the road within three days. Rhino EcoCoat™ quickly and easily solves the problems of rejuvenating aged recreational vehicle roofs. It cost significantly less than replacing the previous rubber roof or replacing the vehicle roof every few years. Best of all, the Rhino EcoCoat™, even though it is an aromatic polyurea and it will undergo a slight gloss change when exposed to UV light, it will not chalk, crack or degrade with normal service. The San Diego RV Center has not received one customer complaint since they have been using Rhino EcoCoat™.347Views0likes0CommentsRe: Can someone recommend a repair place in San Diego?
