Vac-Q-Roof System

Wind can be a roof’s biggest enemy. Sudden, strong winds cause tremendous uplift on any roofing material and threaten the integrity of an installation. The Burkeline™ Vac-Q-Roof System turns the wind into a powerful tool to hold roofing systems in place.

Burkeline roofing is attached at the perimeter of the roof, while channels are created under the expanse of the unattached membrane. A specially designed, patented Vac-Q-Vent is connected to these channels to vacuum air out at specific intervals. When wind hits these vents, their spinning pulls air from the channels, creating a vacuum under the roofing material. The stronger the wind, the tighter the roof is pulled down.

The Vac-Q-Roof is ideal for reroofing because the roof is attached only at the perimeter. Roofs with moisture problems can be left intact, and the vacuum action of the Vac-Q-Roof will actually draw out moist air. Asbestos encapsulation, or any application that requires as little disturbance as possible, are excellent candidates.
