As the owner of PlatForm Pro, I am thrilled to share the story and details behind a product that has been a labor of love and innovation. PlatForm Pro represents a significant leap in the roofing industry, specifically in the realm of AC roof platforms. This journey to create PlatForm Pro stemmed from a desire to address the perennial challenges faced in roofing, particularly when it involves the cumbersome process of re-roofing around AC units.
Understanding the Challenge
Traditionally, re-roofing has been a labor-intensive process, especially when it involves removing and reinstalling air conditioning (AC) platforms. This not only adds time to the project but also increases the risk of damage to the roof and the AC units. Recognizing this gap, PlatForm Pro was conceptualized as a solution that would streamline this process, making it more efficient and less intrusive.
Innovation at Its Core: The PlatForm Pro Design
What sets PlatForm Pro apart is its patented design, a first in the industry. This design allows the platform to remain in place during re-roofing. The process is simplified to just replacing the four split boots on each leg of the platform – a task so straightforward it hardly interrupts the flow of roofing work. This feature alone has been a game-changer in terms of reducing labor and time on the job.
Adaptability to Various Roof Pitches
Another aspect of PlatForm Pro that I am particularly proud of is its adaptability. The platform is adjustable to accommodate roof pitches from 0/12 to 12/12. This flexibility makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of roofing styles and needs. Additionally, it can be leveled on uneven roof surfaces, ensuring a stable and secure installation regardless of the underlying conditions.
Ease of Installation
One of the core principles behind the development of PlatForm Pro was ease of installation. The goal was to create a product that could be assembled and installed swiftly without compromising on stability or safety. Each PlatForm Pro kit includes all the necessary hardware, and the assembly and installation process takes approximately one hour, depending on the roof pitch. This efficiency is a testament to the thoughtful design and engineering that went into PlatForm Pro.
Meeting Industry Standards
Ensuring that PlatForm Pro met the highest industry standards was paramount. The design meets the flashing height requirements for low slope roof systems, ensuring compliance and versatility. It can be properly flashed to any roof, aligning with current market standards and split boots. This compatibility is crucial for a product that aims to be a comprehensive solution in the roofing industry.
Environmental Sustainability: A Key Consideration
In today’s world, any innovation must consider its environmental impact. PlatForm Pro is committed to sustainability. The systems are 100% recyclable and environmentally friendly. Additionally, the materials used are UV resistant, ensuring longevity and reducing the need for frequent replacements. They are also designed to never rot and never leak, which speaks to the quality and durability of the product.
A Revolution in the Platform World
The journey to create PlatForm Pro was driven by a vision to revolutionize the platform world. It was about merging practical needs with innovative solutions. The result is a product that not only addresses a specific challenge in the roofing industry but also sets new standards in terms of efficiency, adaptability, and environmental responsibility.
Looking Ahead
As the roofing industry continues to evolve, so too will the solutions we provide. PlatForm Pro is just the beginning. It represents a mindset that values innovation, practicality, and environmental stewardship. We are committed to continuing this journey, always looking for ways to improve and adapt to the changing needs of the industry.
In conclusion, PlatForm Pro is more than just a product; it is a symbol of where the roofing industry can go when innovation is guided by practical needs and a commitment to sustainability. As we move forward, we are excited to see how PlatForm Pro will continue to shape the future of roofing solutions.
