Four Seasons Ind., Inc. has been
factory certified for the installation of Modified Bitumen Roofing
Systems since 1982. Among
the first of the American Companies to be factory certified by the
American Company, Nord Bitumi, Inc., a direct and licensed manufacturer
from the originator in Italy, we have installed thousands of squares
of all versions of the Modified Bitumen product line and we have
the experience to install the products properly and within manufacturer
guidelines.
Basic Asphalt Modifiers and the
products:
APP (atactic polypropylene APP)
is the favorite among installers because of its versatility and
ease of application. The product has more slip resistance than similar
products, more rigidity and resistantance against wear, but its
limited flexibility in extreme cold environments has proven to be
a problem in some applications in the Northeastern United States.
The main problem, however that supercedes all others, is with the
application, which requires dangerous propane heat elements and
open flame.
APP Torch Tragedies
SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene)
is a thermoplastic rubber. SBS is a copolymer that is used in bitumen
modification. The installation of these products can be burdensome
to the contractor, as they usually require the use of mopping asphalt,
or adhesives. The esthetical value of completed SBS roofs has proven
a detriment as the black ooze that emenates from the seams is an
unsightly detraction from an otherwise, viable roofing system……Until
the introduction of the new prefabricated self-adhered systems:
Mulehide
| Premium performance
in a white roof – |
|
Mule-Hide PVC Systems |
| · Durable systems designed
for maximized roof lifecycle.
· White membranes reflect
sunlight and cool building interior for energy savings.
· Flexibility and physical
integrity to resist cracking after prolonged exposure to minus
30°F.
· Strength to defy uplift
damage or delamination from strong winds and highly tear-resistant
yet easy to repair or add new cutouts.
· Minimal shrinkage, a
major factor affecting membrane performance and longevity.
· Mechanically Attached
and Fully Adhered System Specifications.
· Membrane meets or exceeds
ASTM performance standards.
Reinforced
white PVC - .050 & .060 & .080
· Specially designed with
weft-inserted polyester knit fabric, not merely a loose scrim
supported sheet. Even when punctured, the fabric is engineered
to "rope up" and resists tearing for superior durability with
excellent abrasion and puncture resistance.
· Weighs less than 1 #
per sq. ft. yet highly resistant to wind uplift
· Resistant to fire &
fungus, ozone & UV
· Can be installed during
winter months
· Ideal for new construction
and reroofing
· Reinforced membrane
easily handles building thermal expansion & contraction

WATERPROOF
TRAFFIC MEMBRANES
 Dec-K-ing® Walkable
Membrane PVC.
"Stain is a Pain, Vinyl is Final" –
Maintenance Free
Roofseal and Deckseal PVC.
Pedestrian traffic
solutions are easy with Dec-K-ing® PVC. Eliminates the constant
maintenance of staining. Dec-K-ing® membrane and aluminum railings
can be applied to almost any existing surface, including wood, concrete,
and fiberglass. It can be used directly over living areas. With
over 20 years of performance, millions of square feet have been
applied for sundecks, patios, balconies, roof decks, boathouses,
and garage decks.
DEC-K-ING® ROOFSEAL .060 (Oyster, Almond, Granite)
· Same functionality as
DECKSEAL but thicker mil for commercial high traffic areas &
roof decks
· Durable - Ideal for
high traffic roofs such as roof decks, boathouses, garage decks
& decks in Sunbelt where high UV protection is needed
· 10 year material warranty
DEC-K-ING® ALUMINUM RAILING SYSTEMS, 42" finished height
· Maintenance free railing
systems with glass or picket styles
· No rusting, no re-painting
· Ideal for sundecks,
balconies, pools & stairs
Mule-Hide offers
the complete line of Dec-K-ing Aluminum Railing Components, Adhesives,
& Accessories. Shipping locations on both coasts offer quick
turnaround on orders.
Easy to Install - Few field seams with 6' wide
x 75' or 600' roll sizes. Seams hot air welded or chemically seamed.
Dec-K-ing Systems install quickly and economically in new installations
as well as add-on & retrofit installations. Fully adhered using
approved adhesives.
Energy Efficient & Cool - The white PVC sheet
reflects the sun's rays to keep sundecks, stairs, and walkways cool.
Environmentally friendly - install over existing
layer to reduce demolition waste.
Maintenance Free - Requires only bristle brush,
light detergent to clean.
Strength - A PVC membrane reinforced & laminated
to a polyester fabric mat through a heat process provides durability
plus UV, mildew & salt resistance.
Flexibility - 100% expansion factor allows for
expansion & shrinking caused by the variable elements of weather
and the element of lumber drying.

 DEC-K-ING PVC membranes
are the product of choice for areas requiring a waterproof walking
surface. Both decks and roof decks (a flat roof used as a leisure
area) are the most common uses for the product. PVC
membranes offer many features that traditional deck alternatives
cannot. DEC-K-ING membranes are maintenance free; once
a deck is installed no yearly upkeep is necessary. The surface is
mildew & salt resistant, and contains U.V. inhibitors. The membrane
will never crack or rot. Available in different colors and textures,
DEC-K-ING vinyl will enhance value and
add beauty to any deck while complementing the building. Most importantly,
DEC-K-ING membranes are completely waterproof,
protecting the area underneath from the damaging effects of water.
 DEC-K-ING vinyl
membranes are manufactured by laminating two layers of PVC to a polyester mesh. The result is a strong
and durable product that will protect a deck or roof deck for years.
The products are designed for all climates, and will expand and
contract with the temperatures as needed. In the southern hemisphere
where the UV rays are stronger then North America, DEC-K-ING installations continue to ‘hold up’
after 10 years. DEC-K-ING installations completed as long as 20
years ago in the cold climates of Eastern Canada and Alaska have
also met the test of time. The products are approved for use over
living space as a roof walking surface, complying to building codes
in the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. DEC-K-ING membranes can be installed on most
decking surfaces including wood, concrete and fiberglass.
