Carlisle SynTec Systems

Carlisle SynTec Systems is a commercial roofing manufacturer and brand operated as a division of Carlisle Construction Materials (CCM), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the NYSE-listed Carlisle Companies. Its mailing address is in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, the town where the parent company was founded in 1917.

Products

Carlisle SynTec supplies complete low-slope roofing systems for commercial, industrial and institutional buildings. Its main product groups are:

• EPDM synthetic rubber membranes, a long-established single-ply material in North America.
• TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) membranes, which are heat-welded at the seams.
• PVC membranes, also heat-welded and often specified for chemical or grease exposure.
• FleeceBACK membranes, which carry a fleece backing to allow adhesion to a wider range of substrates.
• System components such as polyiso insulation (including a thin product marketed as ThermaThin), adhesives, coatings and edge metal.

The company also promotes a seam technology branded SeamShield and offers whole-building envelope programmes under the NVELOP name.

Relationship to other Carlisle brands

Carlisle sells similar membrane technologies through more than one brand. Versico, for example, is a separate division of CCM offering EPDM, TPO and PVC systems through its own contractor network. Both brands share the parent's manufacturing base.

Market role

Single-ply membranes cover a large proportion of commercial low-slope roofs in North America, and replacement of older roofs is the main source of demand. Manufacturers such as Carlisle SynTec sell through distributors to authorised contractors and offer system warranties when installations follow their published specifications. Product data, specifications and warranty terms are published on the company's website.
