Over the last decade, the trend of repurposing and restoring existing buildings has been recognized for its environmental benefits and economic advantages. What is true for an entire building is also true for the rooftop, and resilient retrofit roofing systems are rapidly increasing in popularity.

Case Study: WFCU Centre
The Windsor Family Credit Union (WFCU) Centre in Windsor, Ontario originally opened in 2008 as a multipurpose recreation and entertainment complex. By 2016, after only eight years of exposure to the frigid Ontario winters, the facility was in need of a retrofit rooftop. The city chose one of the most resilient roofing systems available on the market to complete this re-roofing project.
Carlisle’s FleeceBACK® EPDM and Flexible FAST Adhesive system was chosen and offered a resilient solution that would enable a retrofit of the existing system, instead of requiring a full rooftop replacement. The Carlisle EPDM system would also provide the extreme durability needed for both the Ontario climate and the solar photovoltaic system that the city intended to install on top of the building. In addition, Carlisle’s system offered the rapid installation required to fit within the city’s tight construction schedule. Read more about this resilient roofing installation.
