Recoup your costs
A great return on investment is another important reason to install a Conklin Fabric Reinforced Roofing System.

Federal tax rebates, tax credits, and deductions may also offset your investment. Check with your local utility company, tax advisor, and energystar.gov for additional details.
Reduce cooling expense by up to 30%
The average roof absorbs a large portion of the sun’s ultraviolet rays as heat. Conklin’s white Fabric Reinforced System reflects 85% of the sun’s heat, cooling your roof, which could save as much as 30% in air conditioning costs.
Conklin Fabric Reinforced System Application
Conklin’s Fabric Reinforced Roofing System is extremely versatile and can be applied to many different roof substrates. The application procedure will vary depending upon the type of substrate; refer to specification guides or to a contractor well-versed in Conklin’s fabric reinforced roofing system.
Recommended for application over these surfaces:
- EPDM/BUR/Mod-Bit/TPO
- Exterior Sheeting
- Concrete

After proper cleaning and application of appropriate primer, Spunflex is embedded into the base coat, over the seams, and at penetrations.
Fabric is embedded into another layer of base coat then applied in overlapping sheets over the entire roof to form a seamless, monolithic surface.
The topcoat is then sprayed over the complete surface, creating a seamless barrier against the elements.
