Installation

No torch. No hot work. No specialist crew.

Self-adhered butyl: peel the release film, press and bond. Standard roofing crews install ACC over the existing roof with ordinary hand tools.

Metal roof procedure

Five steps to a restored roof

A summary for planning purposes. Installers must follow the current ACC installation guide, including primer cure times and detailing procedures.

Inspect & prepare

Check panels, fasteners and gutters. Secure loose areas and remove rust, debris and loose coatings.

Clean & prime

Clean the surface, apply ACC Multi-Surface Primer and allow it to cure. Seal cracks, holes and rivets with ACC tape.

Detail the nodes

Treat gutters, ridges, skylights, parapets and penetrations first.

Lay the field membrane

Apply from eave to ridge in the direction of water flow, with minimum 3″ side laps and 4″ end laps.

Seal & inspect

Roll firmly for full adhesion, edge-seal with weatherproof sealant, check every lap and patch any wrinkles or air pockets.

Why contractors like it

Fast, safe, productive.

  • No torches, kettles or open flame — no hot-work permit
  • No specialist certification or equipment
  • No tear-off, no disposal, minimal disruption to the building
  • Install the whole roof or target the leaks and corrosion
  • Easy to inspect: what’s on the roof is a uniform factory-made sheet
