ROOFING & HEAT REFLECTIVE COATINGS
At GDC, we are proud to be the Midwest Experts in the distribution and installation of the 8875 Stretch-Guard Underseal and 8840 Premium 100% Acrylic "Ceramic" Elastomeric Heat Reflective Roof Coating, a cutting-edge 4-layer monolithic system engineered with an embedded polyseam fabric designed for superior adhesion, waterproofing, and durability, 60+ years in the making. Most roofs leak where there are seams, but our solution has no seams. This premium-quality coating, also known as Life’s Stretch-Guard™ Cool Life 8840, combines 100% acrylic resins with advanced ceramic spheres with 10-year, 15-year, and 20-year transferable warranties. As a heat reflective coating, it lowers interior building temperatures by over 20% during warm months and lowers electrical expense up to 30%. As a “Green” product and application, most building owners qualify for huge tax deductions and credits available in Section 179D of the IRS Tax Code for 2025 reducing the cost over 30%. As a Class A (ASTM-E-108) fire-rated coating, it also provides top-tier fire resistance, making it a safe and reliable choice. Take advantage of these massive savings in 2025, created in Section 179D!
One of the standout advantages of the 8840 coating is that it is a less invasive alternative to tearing off an existing roof and building owners on average see a 50%+ savings over traditional roofing methods. Our solution allows us to restore and protect your roof without the disruption, cost, and waste typically associated with a complete roof replacement. Our application process generates very little dust and dirt, minimizing employee and production interference.
In addition to its durability and waterproofing benefits, the cooling properties of our coating solution make a significant difference for your workspace. By reducing interior temperatures by up to 20% during the warm months, this solution not only lowers energy costs up to 30%, but also creates a much more comfortable environment for employees and customers.
10, 15, & 20-year transferable warranties are available, far exceeding industry standards. This reflects the product's exceptional longevity and our confidence in the quality of our product and installation process. With GDC, you can trust that your investment is protected for years to come, providing peace of mind that your roof will stand up to the elements, protecting your building and your products and services.
This innovative coating provides further advantages, as it is resistant to ponding water, and is not only a heat reflective coating, but insulation through its ceramic sphere infusion. Its superior solar reflectance and thermal emittance help deflect heat and protect against UV damage, making it a highly sustainable and energy-efficient choice. Our team specializes in the proper preparation and installation of the 8875 and 8840 coating on a variety of roofing systems, including flat built-up roofs, concrete tiles, polyurethane foam, modified bitumen, metal roofs, single-ply systems, and even mobile homes. This coating is also available in a variety of colors.
We combine technical expertise with an understanding of your unique needs to provide solutions that are effective, efficient, and tailored to your specific requirements. From reducing disruption to protecting your investment with a strong warranty, we deliver more than just a roof—we deliver peace of mind.
