Storm Repair Technology Launches in the USA

Stormseal is a storm recovery system that protects damaged roofs or walls with a patented wind, rain and hail resistant polyethylene film. The technology, pioneered in Australia, is now available in the United States.

According to the manufacturer, Stormseal is designed to replace flapping, leaking, flyaway tarpaulins that usually require multiple reattachments using ropes and sandbags, allowing more damage to occur if storms or bad weather continue. Unlike tarpaulins, weatherproof Stormseal stays put for up to a year, according to the manufacturer, preventing further property damage, significantly reducing expenses for insurers and minimizing stress on householders.

“We are extremely excited to bring our innovation to the people of the United States, where in recent times they have felt the brunt of many storms and major weather events,” said Matthew Lennox, Australian builder turned inventor and Stormseal’s managing director. “Around the world, severe storms are becoming more frequent, damaging property, traumatizing residents, stretching emergency resources and costing insurance companies billions. Stormseal is therefore an ideal solution for rapid response and cost-effective resilience in the face of natural disasters.”

According to Lennox, the Stormseal system was found to be faster, cheaper and easier to install than a tarpaulin. The low-density patented polyethylene film is cut and fitted at the worksite with the heat “shrink wrapping” technique, changing the chemical structure of the film and enhancing its strength.

“The emergency responders, builders and insurers who have witnessed the potential of Stormseal know it will cut their costs significantly and make insured properties safe from further damage, which keeps policyholders secure and happy,” said Lennox. “Stormseal is raising the bar for U.S. roofers in terms of quality and safety, protecting the most valuable asset an American family possesses: their home.”

Stormseal is now manufacturing in the United States. More than 20 U.S. companies have registered their interest in training staff as Stormseal installers through the accredited training program available through http://optimumtraining.us/.
