Loadmaster Warranties

Loadmaster Roof Decks, which have been in use for over 53 years, have proven to extend the life of both built up and modified bitumen roof membranes for many years. Recent surveys of roof membranes in place for 30 to 53 years over Loadmaster Roof Decks have confirmed their extended life provided by Loadmaster. Loadmaster’s current performance record is 36 years of service for a 3-ply 15 lb. asphalt felt roof with a gravel surface over a Loadmaster Roof Deck. At the time of installation this roof covering was designated as a 15-year roof. That is 21 years of added life or a life extension of 140% for the roof covering! Modified Bitumen membranes installed on Loadmaster Roof Decks 30 years ago are still in use, performing very nicely and are anticipated to provide many more years of service life. Approved roofing manufacturers are GAF, U.S. Ply, Siplast, Johns-Manville and Sarnafil.

The 30 year Joint Performance Warranty being offered covers roof leaks, the roof deck’s suitability as a proper substrate for the roof covering, roof deck gravity load capacity, roof deck wind uplift resistance and roof deck diaphragm shear strength - all for a period of 30 years! For more complete information on the warranty coverage contact Loadmaster’s Technical Department or any of the participating roofing manufacturers.

Professional installation of this roof assembly is performed by licensed and trained Loadmaster dealers who are also trained and approved by the roofing manufacturers. Installing Loadmaster dealers will also sign the 30 year joint performance warranty providing warranty coverage of their workmanship.

At the building owner’s option, each roofing manufacturer offers a 10 year extension of the 30 year warranty, bringing the total warranty period available to 40 years. For additional information on this 10 year warrany extension, contact the loadmaster Loadmaster representative, the individaul roofing manufacturers or Loadmaster’s Technical Department.
