Cold Weather Roofing Solutions: Johns Manville Products Built for Winter Performance

When temperatures drop, roofing projects don’t have to come to a halt. At Johns Manville, we understand the challenges contractors face during cold weather installations. That’s why we’ve developed a suite of Cold Weather Approved products designed to perform in low temperatures without compromising speed, safety, or quality.

Self-Adhered Membranes: Built for Speed and Efficiency

Our EPDM FIT SA and TPO-SA membranes are engineered for cold weather performance, with application temperatures as low as 20°F and no primer required. These self-adhered systems utilize factory-applied adhesive technology, enabling a true “peel and stick” installation that eliminates the need for adhesive flash-off and significantly reduces labor time.

“Self-adhering EPDM is a game changer for contractors by speeding up the installation time and widening the temperature window for installation,” said JM Single Ply Portfolio Manager Matt Sayer. “The factory-applied adhesive makes this a true peel-and-stick solution that eliminates the wait time for adhesive flash off.”

EPDM FIT SA offers up to three times faster installation than traditional methods, making it ideal for time-sensitive projects. Similarly, JM TPO-SA delivers the same rapid application benefits, with a split release liner and lay-flat capabilities that simplify handling and positioning on the roof.

VSH Plates: Unmatched Protection in Severe Weather

For regions prone to hail and extreme weather, JM’s VSH (Very Severe Hail) Plates offer a robust solution. These mechanically fastened plates have no temperature limitations for application, making them a reliable choice year-round.Pairing VSH Plates with 80 mil JM TPO creates a VSH-approved system that delivers the highest level of impact resistance and durability while mitigating the need for membrane or insulation adhesives in the assembly. This combination is ideal for facilities in hail-prone areas or where long-term performance is critical.
