(St. Louis, MO, Jan. 9, 2024) Western Specialty Contractors – St. Louis Roofing Branch has installed a new roof on the Hydromat manufacturing plant in Maryland Heights, MO. Located at 11600 Adie Drive, Hydromat builds precision transfer and mill-turn machines for the machine tool industry.

The building’s 125,000-square-foot sprayed polyurethane foam roof had been damaged by hail and was in overall poor condition due to aging.

Western’s scope of work included removing the existing roof and replacing it with two layers of 2.6 Polyiso rigid foam insulation and a fully adhered TPO roof. Polyiso roof insultation is the most widely used product for low-slope commercial roofing due to its cost-effectiveness and high performance. 

Western also replaced all the roof’s sheet metal components and installed reinforced plastic interior ceiling protection throughout the building. The new roof system brought the building up to current R value energy codes and it will better withstand future hailstorms.

Western started the $2.9 million project in October 2022 and was able to complete the work within eight months.
