RMI was originally formed in the late 60's by three brothers who developed the primary components as a roofing and waterproofing system. Roofmart International was then incorporated in 1990 where it has continued its legacy of creating quality fluid applied materials ever since.
Yes, RMI has consistently produce the same quality materials over and over and over for at least 50 years. Continuity and quality may be wishful thinking for some roofing manufacturers but with RMI it is part of our DNA.
In order to properly optimize the performance properties of the RMI system, its application requires both proficient installers of a highly competent roofing contractor and knowledgeable specifiers. In developing its technical sales model for total support, RMI took a hard look at the success stories of both contractors and specifiers. A common set of successful traits were evident; The owner or principal had surrounded themself with quality experts at each phase of their business. Thus, was borne the RMI team concept.
RMI came to the conclusion that the manufacturing sector has historically had the wrong approach in supporting its customers. Instead RMI’s technical sales model developed a team of internal specialists from point A to point Z including superior products, roofing contractors with installation expertise, technical expertise and seasoned roof consultants and specifiers/architects at every phase of a project without typical project duplications and disconnects. It just simply works.
Why? Because project success is predicated upon a vertical integration of matching expertise in manufacturing, to support services, to its counterparts within the contracting and specifier firms. Just hard work between dedicated project professionals at each step.
RMI’s technical philosophy is that, in some way or another, each project is unique and has condition specific requirements. There are no standard applications, specifications or solutions that are "one-size fits all". All buildings are "Condition Specific." That is why RMI has created a think tank in which any of the aforementioned participants can directly communicate with one another regardless of North American location.
RoofMart International (RMI) manufactures high solid, low permeance fluid-applied roofing and waterproofing systems to renovate existing commercial and industrial rooftops and building envelope applications.
It all starts with a non-breathable liquid applied membrane whose performance matches roll sheet Type I vapor retarders. It forms a durable, seamless monolithic membrane with superior adhesion conforming to existing roofs or substrate surfaces with same-day curing for a finished application or a base for liquid applied roof coatings. RMI also provides highly weather-resistant, low perm liquid-applied roof coatings and rigid spray polyurethane foam.
RMI works directly with roofing contractors, architects, consultants, commercial and industrial building owners, and property management companies to provide rooftop waterproofing solutions for:

Incompatible Substrates:
Primers as surface preparation are an intricate part of any fluid applied roofing and waterproofing system. Their fundamental purpose is to assist adhesion to a particular substrate or existing roof system prior to application of RMI thus ensure limiting moisture migration from the underlying substrate or existing roof system. Unchecked moisture migration from the underside could lead to delamination of the new fluid applied system. RMI primers have been formulated for specific applications and substrates.
RMI requires both moisture & adhesion testing prior to new system installation. These tests determine how much or how many coats of a specific primer are required to function properly based upon tested field conditions. When in doubt as to a particular substrate or project specific application, contact RMI Technical Services.

OVERVIEW: For far too many years roof systems and warranty coverage has been based upon fragmented information. This bulletin addresses real-world cost-effective options to cover your roof investment against storm damage, leakage, uplift and maintenance in a real-world cost-effective manner. These RMI systems have proven field performance for over 30 years. Significantly longer than many other fluid types of roofing have been made.
360 PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
1. This program is solely intended to be implemented through an RMI approved Architect and/or Specifier working directly with the building owner to develop specifications/bid packages. The RMI 360 roof system to be installed and maintained by a select group of RMI roofing contractors meeting program criteria.
2. RMI 360 Warranty Agreement — The eligible warranty period is for up to 30 years with a required two-year annual inspection program between the contractor and owner. Very similar to BOMA requirements. Warranty is transferable to new owner with inspection and any required repairs or upgrades to maintain the warranty status.
3. Technical Bulletin 1600 Owner Grouping Program — The warranty can be modified to account for multiple properties by initially performing key repairs to keep each roof/building watertight utilizing a material warranty and then within a specified time frame complete the remaining roof areas to receive a full material and labor warranty.
4. RMI Latest Specification Guide Manual: Section 1 Overview — According to language as defined in certain regulatory requirements, the installed RMI roof system may be considered either a maintenance or new roofing system. How this applies to each installed RMI system is to be solely determined by the Owners accounting methods.
5. Hail Resistance Bulletin #1400 — The programs specified amounts of RMI Flex (RMI-Flex @ 5 gal. (80 mil)) and RMI Thane (RMI-Thane @ 2.5 gal. (28 mil)) have not shown any hail damage and resulting hail warranty claims.
6. Wind Uplift — The programs specified amounts of RMI Flex (RMI-Flex @ 5 gal. (80 mil)) and RMI Thane (RMI-Thane @ 2.5 gal. (28 mil)) have shown to exceed typical adhesion and/or wind uplift for regulatory requirements.
7. Eco-Friendly — RMI has historically shown to last longer than most fluid applied roof or maintenance systems. This equates to less trips to the landfill making RMI eco-friendly in the most practical and cost-effective ways.
8. Cold Weather Application Technical Bulletin 1100 — All fluid applied materials have their limitations. Cold weather is not one of those issues for a 100% solid material as RMI-Flex where it has been tested at real world temperatures as has RMI-Thane silver coating. As a fast cure 100% solid, it is not subject to the same distress that a solvent or water-based vapor barrier would incur over a longer cure process during colder temperatures.
All RMI Technical Bulletins are supplemental to the most current RMI Specification Guide Manual. Contact RMI Technical Services for specific project requirements.

Cold Weather Application Technical Bulletin 1100 — All fluid applied materials have their limitations that includes BUR and single ply. Cold weather is not one of those issues for a 100% solid material as RMI-Flex where it has been tested at real world, not just laboratory, temperatures as has RMI-Thane silver coating. Garna-Flex has been installed in Canada including the North Pole under conditions considerably colder than that of the US. From a practical point, as it is a fast cure 100% solid, it is not subject to the same distress that a solvent or water-based vapor barrier would incur over a longer cure process during colder temperatures. On the other hand, a water-based product at these temperatures may very well freeze before curing.
