Protecting large-scale commercial assets requires a blend of logistical muscle and absolute technical precision. For the Mercantile and Formica project in Cincinnati, the Globe Iron crew acted as true envelope stewards—stripping away failing infrastructure to deploy a high-performance, fully adhered Carlisle reinforced TPO membrane network built to handle demanding industrial wear.
Eliminating the Liabilities in High-Density Rooftops.
Industrial building envelopes face intense mechanical strain. With multiple commercial HVAC units, penetrations, and edge transitions, high-volume outfits often cut corners on the critical detailing. Globe Iron approached the Mercantile and Formica facility with a zero-shortcut philosophy.
Comprehensive Substrate Remediation
We don’t overlay over failure. Our master technicians initiated the project with deep surface preparation, thoroughly stripping and cleaning the existing substrate while surgically tearing out outdated, degraded flashing systems that had compromised the building’s defense.
Monolithic Heat-Welded Integrity
A commercial roof is only as strong as its seams. We deployed a premium Carlisle reinforced TPO footprint, heat-welding every single seam, penetration profile, and wall junction on-site. Every square inch was meticulously inspected to meet manufacturer warranty specifications, forming an airtight, continuous waterproof shield.
Industrial Infrastructure Reinforcement
To ensure long-term weather protection, our crews fully detailed the perimeter and rooftop mechanical hubs. We fabricated and installed new custom sheet metal edge components, structural HVAC curb flashings, specialized termination bars, and heavy-duty protective walkway pads to safeguard high-traffic service pathways from physical wear.
Sleek. Watertight. Proven
The Mercantile and Formica project stands as a testament to our ability to elevate industrial roofing. By combining the logistical strength to handle a massive Carlisle TPO footprint with the exact sheet metal craft required for custom curbs and terminations, Globe Iron delivered a pristine asset. We eliminated the coordination gaps that plague commercial builds, leaving the facility fully armored for the long haul.
