Pol-E-Force Reinforcing Fabric
Pol-E-Force is a spun-laced polyester fabric engineered for reinforced roofing membranes. This high-elongation material eliminates air pockets during installation while maintaining chemical resistance and dimensional stability. Ideal for acrylic and asphalt coating systems, it provides 25 lbs MD/18 lbs CD tensile strength with 45-100% elongation properties for complex roof geometries.
Pol-E-Scrim Roof Fabric
Pol-E-Scrim combines woven and non-woven polyester layers for multi-directional reinforcement. Designed for cold-applied coatings, this 5x5 scrim fabric offers 25 lbs tensile strength with moisture-resistant properties. Its dual-layer construction enhances tear resistance while maintaining flexibility for both new installations and re-roofing applications.
Reemay Roof Fabric
Reemay spunbonded polyester provides high-temperature resistance up to 350F with Class A fire rating compliance. This continuous-filament fabric maintains structural integrity through freeze/thaw cycles and chemical exposure. With 25 lbs breaking strength and 42% elongation, it replaces traditional fiberglass mats in cold mastic systems.

Questions
What roofing fabric types do you offer?
We provide three specialized polyester solutions: Pol-E-Force (spun-laced reinforcement), Pol-E-Scrim (woven/non-woven composite), and Reemay (high-temp spunbonded fabric) for diverse application needs.
Are your products suitable for both new and existing roofs?
All fabric solutions work for new construction and re-roofing applications. Pol-E-Scrim's 25 lbs tensile strength makes it particularly effective for repair projects requiring dimensional stability.
How does your family ownership benefit customers?
Three generations of leadership ensure consistent quality control, technical expertise, and personalized service. Our direct approach maintains competitive pricing without compromising material performance.
What technical specifications should I consider?
Key factors include tensile strength (25-35 lbs), elongation (45-100%), chemical resistance, and coating compatibility. Our team provides ASTM-certified data sheets for each product variant.
