SprayWorks Triples Building Size in New Location
SprayWorks Equipment Group, a spray foam and coatings equipment company, announced its new building in Kent, Ohio. The expansion comes with a lot of positive changes for the company: a new location with 28,000 square feet; a large capacity Spray Foam School & Showroom; a dedicated multi-bay service and repair center for plural component, single component, and industrial paint equipment; and expanded manufacturing and distribution. The new space is better equipped to SprayWorks’ growing needs, allowing them to expand product offerings and provide a more robust and comprehensive training program — preparing contractors, spray foam applicators, and coatings companies with the necessary skillset to properly apply polyurethane materials safely and with minimal waste, plus a quality end-product. SprayWorks Equipment Group is a spray foam and polyurea company supplying equipment, training, material, mobile rigs, and parts, and is a distributor for PMC, Graco, and Gusmer equipment.

Polyglass Time Trial Video Demonstrates Time-Saving Velociflex System
Polyglass U.S.A. Inc., a leading manufacturer of roofing and waterproofing systems, recently completed a time trial comparing installation of their 2-ply torch system with FASTLap against the Velociflex high-wind-resistance system. In the end, the Velociflex installation was completed 30 percent faster than the 2-ply torch system, resulting in significant savings in labor costs.
The Polyglass team released a video demonstrating the time trial. Polyglass first introduced its Velociflex roofing system in 2019. This innovative configuration consists of two plies of modified bitumen membranes with a self-venting “loose laid” base sheet mechanically attached in the side laps, followed by an optional interply layer and a cap sheet, which may be either heat-welded or cold-applied. Specifically designed for roofs exposed to high-wind environments, the Velociflex system works well with both concrete and steel decks, and it has been independently tested to provide wind protection of up to 270 psf.
