Stormseal is a strong polyethylene film that heat shrinks to cover a damaged roof or wall, providing secure protection from wind, rain and hail, until permanent repairs are made.
Unlike flapping, leaking tarpaulins – the traditional alternative, which usually require multiple reattachments, using ropes and sandbags – Stormseal stays put, providing lasting peace of mind.
Faster, cheaper and easier to install than a tarp, the low-density Stormseal film is cut and tailored at the worksite. It is heat cured, increasing the strength of the film and fitting it snugly to the structure, without damaging any underlying materials.
Stormseal weighs less than one-third as much as, and requires less than one-eighth of the storage space of, a comparable area of tarpaulin.
Stormseal is an innovative, highly cost-effective, versatile, premium product, for use by emergency responders, during insurance claim repairs, and in construction.
