			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>When running your business, last thing you want to worry about, is your roof leaking on your machinery, materials, or office equipment.

<p class="p_text3">Does your Commercial / Industrial / Restaurant roof leak?</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>Do you have to install plastic covers or tarps to protect your expensive machinery?</li>
<p></p>
<li>
Does water damage your office computers and equipment? </li>
<p></p>
<li>
Is your product inventory being destroyed by roof leaks? </li>
<p></p>
<li>
Do you loose business space, restaurant sitting, and production capacity due to your old, leaking flat roof?</li>
<p></p>
<li>
Does your black rubber or Tar &#038; Gravel roof make the AC run like crazy, while it is still hot inside?</li>
</ul>
<p><br/></p>
<p><b>All of the above is true for these folks, and they are sick of it!</b><br />
<br/></p>
<div align="center"><img src="http://www.coolflatroof.com/pics/flat-roof-leak.jpg" title="roof leak in industrial manufacturing facility in East Greenwich, RI requires use of plastic sheets to protect equipment from damage">
</div>
<p><br/><br />
As you can see, they had to protect their VERY expensive machinery with plastic sheets just so the water does not destroy it. Flat roof leaks can cause thousands of dollars in damages to equipment and merchandise alone. Consider redundant <a href="http://www.coolflatroof.com/flat-roof-repair.php" title="repair roof leaks">roof repairs</a> and costs associated with future replacement rotted decking, wet insulation, and disposal of old roofing material. Add lost business productivity, equipment repair and replacement and damaged inventory. It is time to eliminate your flat roofing leaks once and for all.</p>
<p class="p_text3">The choice is simple &#8211; IB Single-ply Cool Roof</p>
<p></p>
<p>

<p>Most businesses require a lot of space to operate efficiently, and it just so happens that most commercial building have a flat roof. These flat roofs just leak, and there seems no end to these roof leak problems. Leaking flat roofs not only cause expensive repairs and structural damages, to the building &#8211; they can potentially halt some or all of your business&#8217; production until leaks are fixed. Temporary loss of useful space can be more costly than the roof repair, and the damages to your production equipment may by far outweighs the cost to install a Long Lasting IB Flat Roof which will not only remain water-tight beyond it&#8217;s warranty period, but will also save you money on the ever-rising Cooling and Heating bills. IB&#8217;s excellent &#8216;Cool Roof&#8217; reflective properties can lower your AC energy consumption by as much as 20%, and with addition of High-R insulation, it will be less expensive to heat your building.</p>
<p class="p_text3">Even ponding water is not a problem for IB Roofs.</p>
<div align="center"><img src="http://www.coolflatroof.com/pics/ib-roof-ponding-water.jpg" title="ponding water on flat roof causes leaks">
</div>
<p><br/></p>
<p>IB Roof was created with the commercial / industrial flat roofing market in mind, and will work on the most complicated flat roof you can think of. If your flat roof has inherited water drainage problems, you has a devastating ponding water after each rain, it is no problem for IB, as it comes with explicit &#8216;Ponding Water Warranty&#8217; unlike most other flat roofing systems, that will leak, and who&#8217;s warranty will be void if there is standing water.
</p>
<p class="p_text3">IB Roofs are Eco-friendly &#8211; IB is the Green Choice!</p>
<p>Not only IB roofs are perfect for commercial buildings in terms of water-tightness, longevity and performance &#8211; they are also friendly for the environment. Cool roof features if IB white membrane will reduce the CO2 and other Green-House gas emissions by reducing your energy consumption for Air Conditioning. IB roof is also a perfect choice for creating a Green Roof or a Roof-top garden which in Urban Environment will reduce the &#8220;heat island&#8221; effect and will increase the productivity of your office workers, as proven by multiple studies.</p>
<p>Another great feature of IB roofs it that they are <b>100% recyclable</b>. This means 30 years from now, if you decide to get a new IB roof, the existing one will not go to our nation&#8217;s landfills. Instead it will be recycled and reused for other PVC products such as vinyl siding, PVC pipes and conduits, etc.
