FIBER GLASS PREVENTS “WICKING” OF MOISTURE UNDERNEATH COATING! This means that Pace Products made with fiber glass will last much longer than ordinary coatings using cheap “fillers”. Moisture is the deadly enemy of roof life. It becomes dangerous when it gets underneath the roof mat. As long as the coating and roof mat offer a solid barrier resistant to penetration, there is no problem. When a break develops, even an opening the size of a pin prick, moisture creeps in. Roof protection begins to break down.

Modern chemistry has produced a new and improved generation of synthetic and blended oils. Ones which penetrate deeper, provide superior lubrication and last longer than previously before possible. It is an advance in our coating formulas that has positioned Pace for many years to come. Synthetic oils and blends have their basis in some of the most super sophisticated tools of modern man. Ones which surround our daily lives. They must be capable of withstanding the tremendous heat generated while protecting ultra high speed moving parts. And yet,

While tight budgets may suggest “patch and pray” a roof when it leaks, common sense points to the shortcoming of this approach. The natural aging of a roof that caused one area to leak has worked just as long on other areas. Treat only the current point of water entry and neighboring sections of roofs can leak tomorrow. The “patch and pray” method of roof maintenance means constant, unplanned attention of roofs which distract from the profitable enterprise of a business. Roof replacement is the budget-breaking result of

GRAVEL ROOFS — RELIC OF THE DARK AGES. HOW TO BRING THEM BACK TO LIFE SAVING THE HIGH COST OF A NEW ROOF!
The gravel roof is completely unnecessary in this day and age. Back in the days of the old locomotive steam engine with coal and hot ashes flying off onto roofs of buildings alongside railroad tracks, there was purpose. But not today. All a gravel roof accomplishes is a convenient place for a roof contractor to bury his mistakes where nobody can see them. The average

PINECEL is Pace’s own special additive exclusive of only products in the Pace formula line. Pinecel consists of blended natural and synthetic oils brought together from all parts of the world for special and unique performance – PENETRATION. This unusual formulation which is registered to Pace Products, Inc. helps deliver hard wearing products below the wearing surface for a second barrier of defense. There, they lock in and cure. The result is an amazing protection which no other products can provide with such ease or efficiency.

Coating vs Paint – The difference is in performance. Coatings perform more functions, have additional or more ingredients and are generally thicker for greater film thickness, thus greater protection. The results is a heavy-duty, more resistant performance. Each product is manufactured to meet demanding standards of consistency and quality. Products are put through exhaustive tests in the laboratory, then field tested under actual conditions. Only formulas that survive the most rigorous and exacting requirements are then sold under the Pace name. All Pace products meet

On gravel roofs, the treatment is much the same as built-up paper ones, with the addition that loose gravel must first be removed. The gravel serves no purpose but to keep the tar under it from running under extreme heat. It simply adds unnecessary weight on the roof, as much as 400-500lbs per 100 sq. ft. reducing its life. With the PACE system, all loose gravel and accumulated dirt is removed in preparation for the application of materials. At this time, cracks and points of

Leaks No Match For Pace Wet-Jet Renewal

When Pacer Jim Quaife called on B.C. Aquifer, a water soft/water conditioning equipment sales and service company, he surveyed a 2,000 sq.ft. tar and gravel roof that wasn’t leaking all that bad but in need of maintenance. Jim provided his customer with a roof renewal program using WET-JET and accessory products, which assured B.C. Aquifer of a sound roof for years to come at an amazing savings vs. the price for a new roof.

ROOF REPLACEMENT IS WASTFUL. Before you can lay down a new roof, you have to pay to remove the old. And often, up to 80% of that old roof is maintainable.  Roofing costs, both material and labor, continue to escalate.  Goods cost more this year than last.  They’ll cost more next year than they do now. Is replacement a likelihood for your buildings roof? It is more likely than you would suspect and could become reality sooner than you would like. The facts are: premature failures, requiring major repair, have

Way back on March 3, 1958, the founders Chuck Levy and Dick Rogers had a dream.  It was to build a successful company in the Maintenance Products field.  Now 60 years later, we’re happy to say that with the help of a lot of good people, we’ve come a long way.

Those first Pace days in an old converted icehouse were something else.  The Arctic Ice Cream Co. had used this three-story building for years.  It was great for storing ice cream but not ideal for their kind of operation.  Dick
