Maxx Leverage Roofing & Restoration is a licensed roofing company with more than two decades of experience operating out of Idaho, Oregon, Florida, Louisiana, and Alabama. This veteran-owned company offers roof repairs, reroofing, and roof replacement services for residential and commercial properties and specializes in emergency disaster relief for survivors needing temporary roofing and tree and debris removal.

The Challenge
When Maxx Leverage contractor and long-time Polyglass customer James Moore learned about Polyglass’s Polystick XFR, a dual-purpose, fire-resistant, and self-adhered waterproofing underlayment, at a Polyschool session, he was so impressed with the product’s innovative qualities he chose to use it for his next big project, on the Hyatt House Miami Airport Hotel in South Miami, Florida, requiring more than 30,000 square feet of new roof underlayment.

The Solution
“The contractor chose the superior protection of the Polystick XFR self-adhered (SA) underlayment waterproofing system,” says John Massengill, independent sales representative for Polyglass. “XFR was selected for the advanced Burn-Shield Technology with maximum fire-resistance properties delivered in one single layer installed as part of the metal roof assembly (unlike conventional fire barrier systems requiring a secondary fire barrier to achieve the UL Class A Fire Rating for Combustible Decks).”

Polystick XFR qualifies for up to a 30-year warranty backed by the Polyglass protection guarantee.” The product uses Adeso dual-compound self-adhered technology for efficiency. XFR’s slip-resistant film surface can be exposed for up to 180 days. With a temperature resistance of up to 265°F, Polystick XFR is ideally suited for high-temperature systems such as steel and copper roofing. Polystick XFR helps achieve a UL Class A Fire Rating in a single layer instead of typical solutions requiring multiple layers.
