The FlexArmor Difference.
-
Not a liquid polymer coating that lets you down.
There are several aftermarket options available today. Many RV owners have replaced their roof with rolled on liquid polymer roof coatings, with some applying it themselves, and others paying a company to apply it onsite (“we come to you”) who include some form of a warranty. While many are happy with their results, we have encountered RVs where these coatings failed, and we’ve replaced them with FlexArmor.
-
Not a spray on liner that leads to failure.
Another less common option is companies that spray bed liner onto an RV roof. While similar in some ways to FlexArmor, this material and the processes of those applying it aren’t focused exclusively on RV roofs, leading to eventual failure.
-
Not an as-seen-on-TV trick.
We’ve seen a variety of attempts to use products from the hardware store or advertised on TV products that simply aren’t designed for RV roofs with disastrous results.
