CASE STUDY
GAF World Headquarters, Parsippany, NJ
Architect:
Nelson & Associates
Contractor: ARCO Construction Inc. — arcoroof.com
Job Size: 130,000 square feet Completion Date: December 2014
When GAF moved to a new corporate
headquarters at 1 Campus Drive in
Parsippany, NJ, the building it was
moving into had a ballasted EPDM roof
with XPS and EPS insulation. As a roofing
manufacturer, GAF wanted the best-
performing commercial roof available,
so the company replaced the old roof
with the best products on the market. The
new roof includes RUBEROID
®
HW 25
Smooth Membrane as a vapor retarder,
EnergyGuard
™
Polyiso Insulation, and
EnergyGuard
™
HD Cover Board, topped
with EverGuard Extreme
®
Fleece-Back TPO
Membrane. GAF 2-Part Roofing Adhesive
was used to fully adhere the TPO to provide
superior wind uplift performance. When
using EverGuard Extreme
®
Fleece-Back
TPO Membrane with GAF 2-Part Roofing
Adhesive, the fleece on the back of
the membrane provides an added
cushioning layer.
As part of the GAF commitment to
sustainable roofing choices, GAF recycled
the old EPS and XPS insulation and the
worn-out EPDM membrane, and even
removed the ballast during the reroof. This
material will be repurposed in many ways
— for crumb rubber, warehouse insulation,
and other applications.
LEED
®
Certification
To achieve the LEED
®
Resilient Design Pilot
credit IPpc98, building owners must assess
and successfully plan for a wide range of
natural disasters such as flooding, tornados,
high winds, and earthquakes. There are
several aspects of the GAF building design
that lead to this designation, including flood
preparation and backup capabilities that
allow GAF to continue operations and
customer service in the face of disaster and
long-term outages. In addition, the roof is
rated above local code requirements, and is
topped with EverGuard Extreme
®
TPO and
EnergyGuard
™
Polyiso.
