The Weaknesses of Traditional Rubber Roof Membranes
Rubber-based factory roofs are cost-effective for RV manufacturers — but not for RV owners in the long run. They often:
-
Crack and tear under UV exposure
-
Shrink over time, stressing caulking and seams
-
Chalk heavily, leaving white streaks down the RV
-
Depend on sealant at every edge and fixture
-
Fail under impact from debris or hail
-
Require constant resealing every 12–18 months
These roofs simply aren’t built for decades of protection — they’re built to keep manufacturing costs low.
The ApexArmor Advantage: Premium Polyurea in Every Layer
ApexArmor uses true, high-quality polyurea throughout the entire roofing system — not just as a thin topcoat. This material is engineered to outperform rubber membranes in every measurable way.
ApexArmor Delivers:
-
Superior durability
Premium polyurea resists cracking, tearing, and punctures, even under extreme weather.
-
Outstanding flexibility
Expands and contracts without splitting — perfect for hot summers and freezing winters.
-
Zero seams, zero caulking
ApexArmor is sprayed as a continuous layer, eliminating the weak points that fail on rubber roofs.
-
No chalking or streaking
Polyurea is UV-stable and doesn’t oxidize, keeping your RV clean and streak-free.
-
Better waterproofing
A fully bonded surface means water can’t work underneath the roof like it does with rubber membranes.
-
Decades of performance
ApexArmor doesn’t dry out, shrink, or degrade — it stays strong year after year.
This is the difference between a system engineered for long-term reliability and one engineered for low-cost production.
Why Rubber Roofs Fail — and ApexArmor Doesn’t
Traditional membranes rely on glue, lap sealant, and termination bars. Once those fail — and they always do — leaks begin.
ApexArmor eliminates:
-
Seams
-
Caulk lines
-
Adhesives
-
Edge joints
-
Factory weak points
Instead, your entire roof becomes one sealed, uniform, impact-resistant shield.
