Unique Finish - The Flat Stock is comprised of G-90 galvanized steel or aluminum. The base metal may be coated on both sides with an epoxy primer and on the exterior weathering surface with either a Fluorocarbon* or siliconized modified polyester finish. Garland’s R-Mer Last 3-Coat Paint System with a clear Fluroclear** coating is also available in 22 ga. Galvanized steel in select color options.

Attractive Finish For Every Building - The flat stock sheets can be used to form an economical, moisture resistant solution. Its durable finish offers an architecturally attractive system in a wide range of standard, designer and premium colors.

Superior Construction Guaranteed - The painted surface of the R-Mer SS Flat Stock is guaranteed separately not to peel, crack, chip or blister for a period of 30 years.

The paint finished flat stock is available in 20, 22 or 24 gauge G-90 Galvanized steel; .032, .040, or .050 aluminum. Flat stock is also available in non-painted bare Galvalume coated steel with a clear acrylic finish, mill finished aluminum, stainless steel, copper and zinc.

NOTE: The clear coat on the R-Mer Last 3-Coat Paint system may slightly change the final color, causing it to vary slightly from the standard color. It is best to request a color chip to visually inspect the final appearance.

R-Mer® Seal

OVERVIEW & FEATURES

R-Mer Seal is a self-adhering high-temperature metal roofing underlay-ment. It is composed of a durable, non-slip, cross-laminated polymer film laminated to a high-temperature rubberized asphalt adhesive. A split release film protects the adhesive on the back side of the membrane and prevents the roll from sticking to itself during storage and handling.

R-Mer Seal is engineered for use as a continuous secondary waterproofing underlayment under Garland’s metal roof systems.

R-Mer Seal can also be used in valleys, ridges, penetrations and at eaves for protection against ice dams and wind driven rain. It can also serve as an underlayment for asphalt shingles, coping caps, and edge metal applications.

Aggressive Adhesion – R-Mer Seal is formulated with high temperature rubberized asphalt for rel iable protection. R-Mer Seal exhibits superior adhesion to the roof deck and strong lap strength, ensuring long-term watertight protection. Quality-controlled manufacturing ensures uniform film thickness throughout each roll.

Flexible & Self-Healing – The rubberized adhesive compound yields a flexible membrane with excellent elongation capabilities and tensile strength to accommodate the expansion and contraction of the substrate. The rubberized adhesive layer also exhibits self-healing capabilities and accommodates the use of fasteners, staples, nails, and screws while maintaining a watertight seal.

Easy Insta l la t ion – The pee l and s t i ck app l i ca t ion and overlap guidelines make installation fast and easy. R-Mer Seal’s cross-laminated polymer film provides an excellent slip-resistant surface for installers.

High-Temperature Rating – R-Mer Seal is able to withstand the elevated temperatures of a rooftop environment without degrading or losing its waterproofing capabilities.

APPLICATION

R-Mer Sea l adheres to meta l , p l ywood, OSB, r ig id v iny l , po ly isocyanurate insu lat ion and masonry substrates. R-Mer Seal is intended for use on roof decks with slopes of 2:12 and higher.

A l l sur faces must be in sound condi t ion and f ree o f d i r t , debris, or dust. Prime all substrates to be waterproofed with SA Primer™ at a rate of 0.5 gal./100 sq. ft. (0.21 l/m2). Primer is not required when adhering to polyisocyanurate insulation.

Apply the membrane in lengths up to 18 feet. Overlap all seams a minimum 3” on the side laps and 6” on the head laps. Roll the seams and overlaps of the membrane with a hand roller to ensure complete adhesion with no voids, wrinkles, or fishmouths. The membrane should not be folded over the roof edge unless covered by a gutter, mechanically fastened every 6” or protected with other flashing materials.

PRECAUTIONS

Garland representative or the Garland Technical Department for recommendations when temperatures are below 50˚ F (10˚ C

• R-Mer Seal should not be applied during inclement weather and the installation should not proceed in the event that precipitation is probable during the application

• All substrates, except polyisocyanurate insulation, must be primed with SA Primer
